Sporting a New Do

It's amazing how a simple haircut can turn my little curly top boy into a handsome little fellow!

Day Out with Mommy

Last Friday, I took the day off just to spend some extra time with my little man. We decided to hit up the Gardner pumpkin patch for a change of pace and had a really good time! We talked to Sponge Bob and told him, and just about anyone else that would listen, that we "make a potty in the potty chair".

Braylon had the best time playing in the corn box, which he insisted on calling the "sandbox". Either way, it was super fun!

After some persuasion, Braylon agreed to ride the noisy tractor out to the pumpkin patch. Once on, he thought the tractor was pretty cool.

We even found a pint sized pumpkin! After our visit to the patch, we enjoyed some live music with Rockin' Rob and his sidekick, Jumpin' John. Braylon even entertained the crowd when he took to the mic to sing the "moo moos" to Old MacDonald had a Farm :)

We had such a great day! I could get used to this Mom's Day Out business :)

The Patch

This morning we headed out to Schaake's Pumpkin Patch to find the perfect pumpkin. Braylon was a bit grumpy (the cows were scary), but did manage to find a few good pumpkins. Macyn was a doll and enjoyed the pumpkin pickin' and picture posin'.



After nap, Braylon helped decorate his pumpkins with funny faces. He was still not interested in taking any pictures with them, but Macy was!

Tandem

In order to cut down on the time spent on our evening bath and bedtime routine, we've decided to try giving the kids their baths together. So far, it seems to be working well. Macyn loves to share the bath with Braylon and I think Braylon is beginning to warm up to the idea. Now, we just need a bigger bathroom so all four of us can fit in there comfortably. It usually takes both Bryan and I to manage bathtime.

Friends

Last weekend, we met up with a group of Braylon's friends from school and headed out to the pumpkin patch. These boys had so much fun!

Big Girl Bath

Macy is now taking baths in the big tub, sitting up. She loves all the freedom the big tub provides. She kicks, splashes and sometimes slips and slides all around. I too love bath time. Nothing beats naked baby giggles and bubbles :)
