We went to Great Brook Farm in Carlisle today.  Tyler thought the sheep and goats were funny, and he totally wanted to take the cow home with us.  He stuck his arm through the wire fence around the cow pen, made the “gimme gimme” motion with his hand toward the cow and said “hab it? … Continue reading Great Brook Farm

let’s just say he doesn’t quite understand the concept of a camera just yet… 5435 5432 5429 5426

It was a beautiful fall day today.  We spent a long time outside, playing and hanging out.  The weather was so nice that Tyler wanted some of his little friends to enjoy the day too: 5414 5423 5417 5420 With the little denim jacket and that expression on his face, he sure looks like a… Continue reading A Nice Fall Day

This year was the first time we took Tyler trick-or-treating.  We walked along with our neighbor from up the street, Jordan (she’s 5) and some of her friends.    Tyler wore a kitty cat costume that Jordan gave him, and I decorated his face to match.  It didn’t take him very long at all to figure… Continue reading First Time Trick-or-Treating

Kevin and Tyler carved their first pumpkin last night, which Tyler promptly named “Dennis”  (Dennis is a friend of Kevin’s that Tyler likes).  Kevin started by carving off the top of the pumpkin, and telling Tyler “see?  we need to scoop out all the insides”, as he scooped out a handful of pumpkin goop.  The… Continue reading Pumpkin Carving

The Chelmsford Mother’s Club sponsored a photo shoot for members, taking place at Jones Farm.  You could schedule a free ten-minute session with one of two professional photographers.  We took Tyler and had some pics done.  It turned out only so-so.  Many of the pictures were very similar, and we ended up only ordering a… Continue reading Photo Shoot at Jones Farm

Yesterday we went apple picking with Barb and Dave. It looks like this is going to become a family tradition for us. (Last year we went with my Aunt Brenda, Uncle Tom and Grandma Ruth.) That’s fine by me, because Kevin, Tyler and I all love apples, and fall is one of my favorite seasons.… Continue reading Apple Picking with Barb and Dave

Tyler has had a runny nose for a few days now.  When I went in to get him this morning, he was standing in the crib, pointing at his nose and saying “boogers! boogers!”  sure enough, he had crusty boogers in each nostril!  him being able to talk can sure make things easier sometimes… then… Continue reading Boogers and Boo-boos

So Tyler has decided he hates getting his hair washed now.  More specifically, he seems to hate getting his head wet.  The last two times he has had a bath, he has totally spazzed when I try to wash his hair.  Like, “screaming bloody murder” spazzing.   I wouldn’t say he loved getting his hair washed… Continue reading Bathtime Troubles

After the Daigle’s tree fell across 5th ave and on to our fence, we decided that a few of our trees were looking a bit dodgy and maybe we should have them taken down so they don’t fall on someone else’s property.  Yesterday the guy came to take down the trees, and Ty was absolutely… Continue reading Tree Removal
