Rainy day activities?

Today I let Nick decorate his pumpkin. He started with a sharpie...

Then decided he was going to try to use his play-doh supplies on his pumpkin.

We then traced our feet to make ghosts and hung them on the window. (I didn't come up with the idea....he learned it at school)

Trick-or-Treat

Silly boy

While I was getting ready this morning Nick was watching TV in the living room. I came out to find this...

After I got him out, he put his baby in, covered her up with his blanket and then grabbed his milk and gave his baby some milk.

A whole lotta belly

More pumpkin patchin

Saturday we went with grandma to the pumpkin patch in Clayton. I'm getting tired of going to the same pumpkin patch here in Brentwood every year so we're looking around for fun new ones. To begin with, Nick has become obsessed with taking pictures. He loves to carry the camera around and knows how to take the picture and will continuously press the button. I now have about 50 pictures of the ground from the pumpkin patch.

We wandered around and looked at the animals, played in the hay maze, searched for pumpkins, and drove a bus before we headed to the train.

At Bishop's Farm, Nick sat on my lap the whole time on the train telling me he was scared. This time...not so much. He LOVED it. He handed the driver his ticket and even sat next to grandma. He waved to all the people and went back for seconds.

We went down below where they had the huge hay maze to run through along with pools filled with beans. I'm not sure who liked the beans more...Nick or grandma.

Bringing out the toys

We got a jumperoo from a friend of mine and set it up this week and put it in Paige's room. Isn't this what you'd expect from a 2 year old?

Bishop's Farm

After we went to the Train Museum we decided to head out to Wheatland to go to Bishop's Farm. Nick was a bit grumpy from a short nap, but he had a lot of fun. First we fed, brushed, and pet the goats.



We jumped in some hay with a trampoline underneath



We played in a wood train and on the playground for quite a while. When it was time to go Nick decided he wanted to ride the choo choo. This is HUGE for him. While he LOVES choo choo's, he doesn't like riding them. Anyone who's ever been to the zoo with us can definitely atest to that. This is the first choo choo ride he's been on that he didn't cry!

Of course the highlight of the trip was playing with the toy backhoe's.



On our way out we stopped to get a pumpkin while Nick drove the pumpkin train.

Old Sacramento Train Museum

After a day of painting on Monday we decided to have some fun! We headed out to Sacramento and took Nick to the train museum!

Painting Paige's room

Eddie has this week off of work and we are tackling Paige's room.

Step 1: Paint light pink



Step 1.5: Me: Honey you're right, it's too much pink...can we paint a brown stripe?
Eddie: Sure, would you like to add hot pink to it too?
Me: That sounds awesome!

Step 2: Tape a 12" stripe around the room



Step 3: Paint hot pink in the middle



Step 4: Tape off the middle for the brown stripes



Step 5: Paint the brown



Step 6: The beautiful room that I am absolutely in love with. Pictures truly do not do it justice! Isn't my husband amazing?



Our furniture is hopefully being delivered on Wednesday.

And....a sneak peek at the bedding. I returned the other two and bought this one. It's the one I originally wanted, but didn't want to spend the money, but I'm glad I did! It's absolutely GORGEOUS and I LOVE it!!!

Fun with bubbles

Nicholas and I had a fun filled afternoon one day. We painted, made snakes with play-doh, and of course we played with bubbles. Nick has discovered that he can finally blow the bubbles himself.



His vocabulary has also increased dramatically. He uses full sentences and you can now understand about 90% of what he is saying. While we were playing with bubbles he looked at me and said "Hold on mommy I need to go get something." He comes back with my camera and as I was holding up the camera he was pressing the button to take the picture. Low and behold we have Nick's first self portrait.



Isn't my kid cute...
