Fall Fun

Looking back at the past week...it's been all about fitting into new routines (at school and with Ben's nap schedule) and throwing in some fun for Charlie along the way.  We visited a local apple orchard last Saturday...which equals total excitement for Charlie.  

His dream job.

And a lot of down time for poor Ben.  

Dad?  What's happening?

Charlie was able to drive tractors, feed donkeys, sit out a rain storm in a small enclosed picnic shelter (with a bunch of college sorority girls) and finally pick some AMAZING apples.  

Yuck (as he wipes his hand off)

Cute girls were in the "house"

So fun

On to the next row...

We could have stayed all day...but rain, a 5 month old and a sleepy 2 year old were calling for us to get home.  We plan on attending next year...mainly because Mom has already devoured the apples.  SOOO GOOD!  

SO TIRED...

Finally digging in! 

The rest of our week was filled with preschool on Tuesday and Thursday...which Charlie LOVES.  He comes out each time covered in paint and food. His teachers, thus far, have informed me that he wastes no time in telling kids what they should be doing; they think its a product of him coming back for his second year and knowing the ropes, unlike the new kids. Here's hoping he doesn't get kicked.

And as for our little Ben...well the kid will give you a smile EVERY SINGLE TIME you ask for one.  He is amazing.  He has started sleeping through the night, bonding with his big brother and is officially eating SOLIDS.  

We couldn't be happier...it was a great week capped off by a relaxing trip to Chili's for dinner on Friday.  (We LOVE Chili's!)  We are off to a pumpkin patch today and Toronto on Thursday for cousin Henry's 6th Birthday Party! WE CAN'T WAIT!! 

Nom Nom Nom (sorry Joe)

Love

Until next time...
