Hunt Club - Again!

This time we went on a Saturday so Kyle could go with us.  Graham stopped to smell every mum along the entrance path.  He also broke a gourd, chased the chickens, hit the chickens, threw a rock at a goat, screamed if he couldn't get on the tractor for the ten thousandth time.....suffice it to say, it was a little more volatile than our first trip.  I think Graham's favorite moments (in addition to chasing and scaring the chickens) were when he was sitting on a chair waiting for Kyle to blow bubbles with his gum so he could pop them.  The price of admission.....

Picnic Lunch

Last Friday, the weather was so nice, I decided Graham and I needed to have a picnic lunch in the backyard - great fun!  (It meant he was up-and-down for the entire lunch, but we did have a great time.)

The picture of his feet - he insisted on wearing only one sock on Friday.  But both shoes.  I didn't question - just did as I was told.

We Were Boo'ed!

Each Halloween, our neighborhood friends start the "boo".   (I have no idea how to say that!)  Well, we were "boo'ed", and there were some fun goodies for Graham in the basket!  Glow in the dark bracelets (we are now spending a lot of time in the very dark bathroom playing with them....), stickers.  Such fun!

The next day, Graham and I headed to Target to get the supplies to boo some other neighbors!

Pizza Night

We had our friends, the Wights, over for Halloween crafts and pizza last week.  And I just couldn't help snapping a few pictures of the kids eating their pizza.  Graham LOVES pizza, and he can put away some calories when that's what's on the menu!

Sesame Street LIVE!

Graham has a thing for Sesame Street - particularly Big Bird and Elmo.  So, when we saw that Sesame Street was coming to town, we had to get tickets.  We went with our friends the Caplans (Graham's little friend Hayden, his sister, and his parents).  And, Graham and Hayden LOVED the show!  The show was a musical - designed for kids to get up and dance or move for every song.   And, as we all clapped at the end of every song, Graham would yell "more, more, more" thinking that was the last song since we were all clapping!

A Ride on the Jet Ski

The weather was perfect last weekend for being on the water.  Dad just got his jet ski back from the shop, and Kyle was eager to take Graham out on it.  (Graham has been on it once before, but when he was very little - I'm sure he has no recollection of it.)  At first, Graham didn't know what to think about it. But by the time they headed home, he was pretty comfortable on it - leaning back onto Kyle with his feet crossed and stretched out on the top of the seat.  Just chillin'.

Bananas!

Graham peeled and ate his own banana the other day!  Ate the entire thing - keep peeling it down and eating...

Grandpa's Birthday

We went to lunch the other day to celebrate my grandpa's birthday (and I neglected to take pictures inside the restaurant!)  We went to Mahi Mah's which is right on the beach.  We headed down early because Graham LOVES the beach.  Well, it was definitely his day - there was a bulldozer on the beach.  Does it get any better than that for a little boy?!?!  I loved the sight of Kyle and Graham in their blue jeans with their shirts off - my two men!

The Pumpkin Patch!

I LOVE going to pick out our pumpkin each year (even if I'm still mourning the end of summer!).  We go to Stoney's - a local farm "stand" every year to get our pumpkins, mums, and some fresh veggies and fruits.  Graham always enjoys seeing Merriweather and the other goats, chickens, and he likes riding in the wagons!  He was a little cranky at the beginning, but he was enjoying himself by the time we left.

How To Eat Raspberries

You put them on one of your fingers, then pop it in your mouth!

You can even cover every finger before starting to eat them...

We have NO IDEA how he found this pacifier!  He is rather resourceful!  Needless to say, it disappeared quickly.  And mysteriously.

Molly....

Molly has the entire house to call her own.  But she always chooses Graham's blanket....

A New Friend

Kyle drew this "guy" on his hand the other day.  He was quite the hit!

Hunt Club

We went to Hunt Club Farms with some friends last week - what a fun experience!!  They have petting zoos, rides, goats, chickens, peacocks, llamas, haystacks to climb on, pony rides, and hayrides.  We did it all - such fun!! 

Graham was VERY gentle with all the goats - even brushed them!  And, he was very gentle with his little buddy Jasper.
