Play Date

Today we had a play date at our house. It went well. It was 65 degrees outside (Yes, it is Dec.) so the boys played outside for a little bit. Laura came over with her two boys Griffin and Flex (who is 4 months old). And Laurie came over with her son Jonathan. Ryan and Scrappy both were having fun with the boys. Scrappy was getting a little too excited and made Griffin cry by pushing him over. But Scrappy and Griffin got used to each over. Jonathan who is a little taller then Ryan and Griffin was loving Scrappy's kisses.

After playing in the sand box for a while, we all came in except Scraps for lunch, toys and Sesame Street. Everyone played nice together. We had mac and cheese with vegetables for lunch. The mac and cheese was a hit, not so much the vegetables. That's okay, it is a play date. After lunch and Sesame Street. We listened to some "wheels on the bus" and kid songs while playing with toys. The boys started getting tired. So, we called it a day and Ryan went up for a nap. After our friends had left, he was quiet for a another 30 minutes then didn't sleep. We went outside, it was still warm and took a walk with our tricycle, might be the last time this year. It is suppose to snow on Saturday. Finally at 4pm Ryan went down for a nap. I'll take it! Ryan watching Sesame Street while Griffin and playing with his toys. Ryan was pretty good with sharing today.

Ryan eat only the sprinkles off the cookies. Here he is looking a little guilty, because he had take about five cookies but only eat the sprinkles off of them.

Christmas Parade

On Nov. 28th Saturday. We went to Ryan first Christmas Parade. We tried to go last year but we couldn't. Ryan got a rush which was cause from the MMR shot. This year we made it. It was in Brockton, MA. My father who is Mason, was walking in the parade. Ryan had a great time. We went to City Hall first for a flea market. Then took a place for the parade to start. He got balloons and a candy cane (which he kept asking for). We didn't just see Grampy in the parade. We saw clowns and Santa too. It was a good day. Ryan wearing his Santa and Rudolph shirt from last year. ( It still fits.) Getting ready for the parade.
It was cold and windy that day. But Ryan and I posed in front a picture of Santa at City Hall.

Ryan is very festive with his Santa hat on. I wore one too.

Mittens on and all, he got his candy cane.

Last but not least Santa Claus.

The next day, Ryan tried riding his reindeer balloon.

But it didn't fly.

Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving day, we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. We had made a pumpkin pie a day earlier to bring to my parents house for Thanksgiving dinner. Ryan kept saying he wanted pumpkin pie to eat and I told him we had to wait til after Thanksgiving dinner. These are pictures from before dinner. Ryan eat more this year for Thanksgiving dinner. He ate stuffing and carrots, that is it. But last year he didn't anything at all. So, after dinner I asked Ryan do you want pumpkin pie now...he said no. Needless to say,he didn't eat any pie. Which I think is the best part. Ryan dressed to go to dinner with Turkey hat on and Turkey napkin in hand.

Happy Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Disney Live

On Nov. 7th Saturday Grampy and Grammy treated Ryan and I to Disney Live in Providence, RI. It was Ryan first show. He was really good. He sat throughout the whole show and didn't get bored during intermission. He seemed to enjoy the show.

Ryan got all excited when Mickey came out onto the stage.

Football and Leave Clean Up

Sunday was Football and Leave clean up day at our house. Ryan and Dad played football and raked up leaves into a pile. We got to jump and roll in the pile of leaves. Then Ryan got bored with jumping, so he relocated the leaves into leave bags, bushes, his wagon and all over the yard. Today they did it all over again. Fall is so much Fun! Are you ready for some football?
AHHHH!

Go New England Patriots!

Weeee! This is fun jumping in the leaves. Wish I could do it all year long.

Ryan need gloves to put the leaves in the bags.

Halloween Night

Halloween Night, Ryan went out Trick or Treating. He LOVED it! He wanted to go to more houses but I thought at this age six houses is enough. Plus, it was neighbors that we know and he got a ton of candy from just those six houses. Scrappy dressed up as a (as Ryan calls him) a "Buzzy Bee" and Ryan of course was T-Rex. Both boys liked seeing other kids and dogs dressed up in their costumes. Scrappy was the hit of the night for the kids trick or treating at our house. All the kids keep saying "look at that dog, he's dressed up like a bee!". Ryan didn't stay outside all night, even though it was 70 degree that night, he wanted to go inside the house and watch Pooh's Halloween. It was a Happy Halloween! Getting all dressed
Scrap's is ready for some treats. Doesn't care much for the tricks.

He had to have a blue lollipop before he went Trick or Treating.

Ready to Go!

Got my bag, Let's Go!

After Trick or Treating Ryan had to rest on his picnic table and eat some candy. Not a lot.

He got tired of the head again.

"What a long night" Such hard work Trick or Treating.

We did dinner outside that night. We didn't eat just candy
