Saturday afternoon in Acton

Finny is very happy to have mastered the disc swing at Grandma and Grandpa’s

A beautiful afternoon for it

 

Helping Grandma prepare the garden for winter

 

 

 

 

Saturday morning with the Leapster

 

 

 

It’s all fun and games at breakfast…

until your big brother covers you with yogurt!

Happy Halloween

Finny and our pumpkin

Dragons like cookies too!

Two knights ready to slay the dragon!

Exciting Day on Baker Ave

We had a very special delivery today – a new swing set for the boys. Finn hadn’t a clue what it was – a well kept secret. This picture is taken when “the penny dropped” and he realized what was in all the boxes!

watching it get put together

tractor made for two

 

what will they think of next?

these two could glide all day

Thank you so much Grandma and Grandad!!!!

and apparently so could I (and I expect I will be if Finn has any say in the matter!)

 

Happy Thursday

Mr. Smiley

I love this expression

Finn and Leo wearing their Michaelmas capes. Finn’s class dyed theirs with onion peels and I think Leo’s class did them with marigolds. They are beautiful = rays of sunshine.

“I give you this cape of light, to give you courage, strength, and might”

Feeding the pigs at Green Meadows

Happy cousins

Mr. Leapy is blissfully unaware, most of the time, of what he has been through this week (unlike his Mummy and Daddy!)

Donncha Laughy

We had some fun tonight. Finn was making Donncha laugh so hard – it was amazing. Videoing the boys in the bath is a little difficult when I’m on my own…but the laughtrack is pretty awesome.

Saturday Amusements

Donncha laughing at Finn

Finn is firmly in the “baby toys are more fun that 4 year old toys” stage – and Donncha is starting to catch on

Laundry basket is as good a place as any to have a chat on the phone

Donncha’s favorite toy – the bathroom cabinet. Keeps him happy!

Finn in his cozy corner after bath.

Thursday antics

Hmmm…what’s wrong with this picture?

or this one?

Given how long we’ve had the doorway jumper up, I’m surprised it took this long for Finn to try it out!

new favorite food – butternut squash!

Donncha and the mutsus

Donncha and I went apple picking this afternoon

He has inherited my love of mutsus!

He looks so little compared to the enormous apple!

YUM!

Topsfield Fair

We had a lot of fun at the fair this afternoon with Leo and Kristen.

The carousel

Testing out the tractors for sale.

Checking out the winning pumpkin

Donncha was not a fan of the “berry-go-round” !

Donncha and I sat this one out (actually, nursed this one out!) but the boys and Kristen loved that crazy bus!
