Hallowen Party

We went to a birthday/Halloween party on Sunday for our friend Sydney who turned ten. We had a good time. Ryan played really nice with this boy Alex who is three. He also eat a lot! Too Much, on the car ride home, he vomited all over himself in his car seat. But as soon as we got home he felt much better and was running all over the yard. It's it great to be a kid

We couldn't wear the costume in the car because of the T-Rex tail. So, we put it on at the party. Then we couldn't wear the gloves because we had to eat.

ROAR!

Ryan was shortly finished with the T-Rex hat. So, he walked around the rest of the party, a headless T-Rex.

I love the tail.

Ryan put the head back on for a little bit because the girls at the party wanted to see him in it. This is Ryan and Alex playing nicely.

I bought Ryan a couple of dress up costumes at the dollar store. Girls have tons of Princess dress up things, why can't boys have dress up things too. Ryan likes to play dress up. I got him a pirate costume and a firefighters hat.

Jack-O-Lantern

On Saturday we craved our pumpkin into a Jack-O-Lantern. Ryan helped. He let me cut with a knife and he dug the seeds out. Then he had to admire our work. Mama and Ryan pulling the insides out of the pumpkin.
Mama and Ryan getting seeds everywhere. Luckily Scrappy was outside, otherwise he would be eating them all of the floor. If he wouldn't get sick from it, I would be all for it.

Ryan got bored with digging out the seeds and since Dad put the TV on, he left me to finish the job.

Ryan and the Lady Bugs

One day last week it was about 70 degrees. We must have a nest of Lady Bugs near our house. We had (it seemed like) a million Lady Bugs. Ryan was loving it! He was chasing them and picking them up everywhere. He would pick them off the house, his clothes and mine. Then throw (some alive still and some didn't make it) outside the fence. Why, I don't know, but he had fun doing it. Ryan picking the Lady Bug off of the house.

Funny Lady Bug. Squish! Scrappy looks like he is looking for Lady Bugs too in the back ground.

Look! It's in my hand

Going to throw it out of the fence.

See!

Carmel Apple

Ryan's first Carmel apple. I made Carmel apples with my third graders at school. I had left over Carmel and apples. I had one and I made Ryan one too. He didn't eat much of the Carmel more of just the apple part. It was funny watching him eat it. Why is the apple on a stick and what is this stuff on it?
AHHHH! I can't bite it

YUM!

Happy Halloween!

Ryan is a T-Rex for Halloween this year. ROAR!

Providence Children's Museum

We went to the Providence Children's Museum in RI on a very rainy Sunday Oct. 18th. It was our first time there. All three of us really enjoyed it. We went we our neighbors Dawn, Tod and Lilly. Lilly is three weeks older then Ryan. After our adventures at the museum, we went to the Providence Place Mall and Ryan and Lilly ran around. We had lunch at Dave and Buster's. We didn't play any games that day because Ryan was tired. But Ryan did have a huge plate of french fries (he didn't finish). He didn't want anything else on the menu. Toddlers some days they eat and others just french fries. They had fish tanks with little Catfish in it. Ryan likes Catfish and recognized them right away.

Pumpkin Picking

We went pumpkin picking on Sunday Oct. 11th. To Ward's Berry Farm in Sharon, MA. It was a busy day. We started the day off playing some guitar with Dad. Then we had to do some work in the yard before we went pumpkin picking. Finally, we got to the farm, the first thing Ryan wanted to see was the 4H animals. That was his favorite part of the day. We got to feed goats and sheep. And we saw cows, ducks and rabbits. They have a playground there too. Ryan had to try the High up slide. He wasn't scared ( I was). He walked right up those stairs and slide right down. Then did it again. He got to play in the hay piles, touch some corn, then go on a hay ride to get to the pumpkins. When we got to the pumpkins, Ryan kept saying the pumpkins were "too big". Jeff pulled out a little green pumpkin, Ryan's size. Ryan said that is the one he wanted. He did help us find a big orange pumpkin for the family to crave (which we haven't done yet). When we got home, after a nap (which was very much needed) Ryan painted his green pumpkin blue and purple (which are his two favorite colors). The next morning I drew a jack -o-lantern face on it.
