Pumpkin Patch

We went to a great pumpkin patch last weekend. Hay bale maze, corn pit, cow tractor ride, animals... and pumpkins! It was a fun fall day- except for the fact that it didn't quite feel like late October with weather in the 80's. To see the pictures, click here.

Swinging!





Finn's favorite new activity!

Finn's up!



Olivia gets really excited when Finn wakes up in the morning. She hears him start to make noise in his room and likes to go in there alone- so that he sees her first- then she lets me know when I can come in. She then asks to climb into bed with him, hugs and kisses him, and likes to lay under the blanket next to him. It is quite cute!

Dean's birthday


Besides the Red Sox (and Patriots) letting him down, I think Dean had a pretty good birthday. We played in the park, and Olivia & I made him dinner. For all of the pictures, click here.

Hangin'

Surprise!

Since I knew Olivia had been really into painting at school, I picked her up an easel and had it waiting for her as a surprise when she got home.

The little artist


Olivia has been REALLY into painting. At school last week, she requested to paint, so they brought out the paints for everyone on her behalf. Sometimes, she even goes into the 3 year olds room to do it. Here she is showing off a painting in the kitchen.

First time swinging



Finn's first time swinging in the backyard.

New trick



Jump around




I had been looking back on Olivia's blog to see what was happening when she was Finn's age and I saw that she was in the jumper. I put it together while they were napping and Finn went in it as soon as he got up. He thinks it is SO much fun, and Olivia loves when he is in it!

Success!

Olivia has been doing really good on the potty. She goes usually about 3 times a day on there (#1 & 2)and is rewarded with a mini popsicle (or "popsi" as she calls them) or a jelly bean (which she calls "black beans").

Arimo Ave. block party




This was the 25th year of the Arimo Ave. block party. When we moved into the house we heard about how fantastic it was and we were excited to be a part of it. It lived up to the hype- good food, great neighbors and perfect weather. By evening, it started to get breezy, so we all put warmer clothes on and sat around the fire at our neighbors house. For all of the pictures, click here.

Finn eats! The video...


Finn is now able to polish off a bowl of food, no problem!

Finn eats!

Getting ready for his first taste of solids. 

Olivia was very anxious to feed him.
First bites...


Olivia had so much fun feeding him and was so proud of her little brother!
