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!

Thursday morning with Donncha

apple time

uh oh. I guess he wasn’t done nursing!

Much happier!

Pizza Time

After our train ride we had leftover pizza in the car and Donncha was very intrigued!

I think Dad will be finding pizza in his car for months to come!

Happy 8 Months Little Boy!

Narrow Gauge Railway

Inspecting the train bathrooms

We had a great, albeit rainy, adventure in Portland today at the Narrow Gauge Railway museum and train ride.

Showing Donncha how it all works

Ringing the bell

Gotta love the drool in this one (for you Ellen!)

The train ride

Happy Finn – day with Leo, Mum, Dad, Donncha and a steam train to boot!
