Fabulous Fall

The true look of trouble - Chris with GG's cane



Aiden is LOVING GG Mimi's goodies, aka cane



Loved that face - a new one for Aiden



Chris on a kiddo tractor at the farm Saturday



Aiden's newest hobby = rock collection (esp. really big, heavy ones!)



"If you're there God, it's me Christopher and I would really, really love to live on this farm so I can play with tractors and animals everyday!"



Humm... which tractor to play with first. Tough decisions for Chris



Aiden has the same difficult decision



The tag team chasing the poor goats



Daddy and Aiden on the tractor ride



A fluffy donkey that I couldn't resist!



Chris decorating the donkey who was a very good sport, doing it all day long!



Aiden and Auntie Laura "milking" the cow - aka, using the utters as squirt guns in Aiden's eyes!



They only look innocent...



Less than 2 minutes later the tag team had the entire drawer emptied and down the cats door in the cellar (sorry for the sideways pic!)


Happy Anniversary to Grammie and Grandpa Hopkins and Happy Birthday GG Mimi!

We have had such a great week, enjoying this gorgeous fall weather at every given opportunity!
We had a low key mid-week. On Friday morning Grammie and Grandpa Hopkins came over for a quick visit to show off their ride for their anniversary weekend get away, a Porsche Carrera! Aiden and Chris were quick to jump in the front seat to enjoy the car! Later Friday afternoon we ventured out with Grammie Pt to get Flu shots for Aiden and Chris. They were both great sports and had fun in the waiting room but the tears came spilling out as soon as we walked into the exam room. I guess they have learned quickly what that room is all about! The shots were quick and we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. I am thrilled to get the shots so early so that they can take effect before the winter illnesses set in!

Yesterday was a perfect 10! We got up early, went for a morning walk then packed up and headed out to Worcester to visit Auntie Laura and to check out Davis Farm Land i Sterling, Mass. We were outside enjoying the weather all day and the boys had the time of their lives! We were all thoroughly impressed by the Davis Farm as it was clean, and well staffed with friendly people. There were tons of animals, tractor rides, food, a water area and lots of imaginative play zones. I think Aiden and Chris would have happily stayed for weeks but after about 3 hours we packed up and headed to Grammie and Dziadzu Pt's to celebrate GG Mimi's birthday. We had a wonderful dinner, great dessert and amazing company! It was an all around great day! The boys were happy as can be!

Today we went to church and afterward stopped over to meet baby Ashley, the beautiful addition to the Tetreault family. She couldn't be more perfect and it is so special to our friends Steph and Phil so in love with their little girl. Oh, the blessings that babies bring! We then headed home for lunch and nap time for the boys and afterward packed up to visit our friends Adam and Gina. They have been working tirelessly on their new house and it looks great! The boys loved playing in their front yard with their drain pipes, rocks and sticks and would have stayed all day if they had their way! We had a fun visit and came home to see Grammie and Grandpa Hopkins for a bit! As you can see, it was a busy, fun filled weekend and we wish that we could hit the repeat button. Atlas, tomorrow is Monday and I have work to do to help Mike before tomorrow morning so I am off! Have a great week everyone!
