Fun with Connor and Kaitlyn

I had the day off on Tuesday for Veterans Day, so Noah and I met up with a Connor, Kaitlyn, and their moms for lunch, and then we headed over to the playground at Lee District Rec Center. They enjoyed the slides and playing house.

"knock knock, can we come in?"

The three of them really enjoyed throwing wood chips into the air and on the slide. I'm still finding wood chips around the house because Noah had them all over himself. Needless to say, he went strait into the bath when we got home.

Noah's Toy Box

Mara (Mia's mommy) sent me some nice pictures from the dinner we had with them and Noah's other friends a couple weeks back. Here is one that is especially cute.

O-Baby

Noah Loves Virginia the Cow

On Sunday afternoon, the three of us headed over to Oxon Hill Farm for a walk around and a chance to see the animals. Noah especially loved the cows. A very nice park ranger let us go into the chicken house so Noah could see the hens, rooster, turkeys and peacock. Then he let us watch him milk Virginia the cow. Noah loved Virginia.

Here Noah is watching another cow on our way up to the dairy farm to see Virginia.

Noah got to pat Virginia on the back while she was being milked.
And here's our friendly park ranger milking her.

Grandma Jean and Auntie Debbie Come to Visit

Noah's Grandma Jean and Auntie Debbie spent the night with us last night on a stop over on their way from England to San Francisco for vacation. Noah loved having them here and was very sorry that it was such a short trip.

Party at Noah's House!

On Saturday night, Mia, Sienna, Greydon and their families came over for dinner. Noah had a wonderful time with his friends. He enjoyed showing off all his toys (literally, the entire toy box was emptied onto the floor in the kitchen), running around the couch with the other toddlers chasing him, and eating the yummy cupcakes I made for the kids (with the secret ingredients yellow squash and pumpkin).

Here's Noah and Mia having a laugh.

Sienna is enjoying the chocolate frosting from the cup cakes.


"Hmmm... how fast can I shove this into my mouth?"

Greydon's happy to chomp on some grapes.

Sienna really loved Ole and Audrey. Here's Noah showing her how to pet Audrey.

Mia just liked hanging out in this little booster seat.

Once all the toys were out, Noah and Mia decided it would be fun to climb into the toy box. They looked like they were making wine.

Halloween

Noah and I went trick-or-treating with Karen and Sean on Halloween. We put the boys in Sean's radio flyer wagon and just wheeled them up to the houses, which was very convenient. the boys loved trick-or-treating. The people in the neighborhood where we went really went all out with decorating their houses. The night was warm and beautiful, so lots of people were just sitting at the base of their driveway handing out candy.

Unfortunately, my camera's battery needed to be charged, so I don't have many pictures, but hopefully Karen will send me some of hers so that I can post some more.
