Fall Break
I took the boys to Ohio for a quick weekend. Ethan had Friday off school for Fall break. I'm sorry to all of our friends we didn't get to see. It was too quick of a weekend. We went to Young's Dairy on Saturday with Aunt Virginia, Cousin Ireland, Riley and Aiden. Mama and Papa Douglass took us. We had a good time. Tyler loved the train ride. He rode it twice. Ethan visited the batting cages and got hit on the hand with the third pitch. After a few tears, he was fine. We celebrated Tyler's birthday and he got alot of Thomas the Train stuff. We also celebrated Papa Dick's birthday by going to Dave and Busters. Happy 58th Papa! We love you!

Tyler's 2!!!

Tyler had his second birthday on October 12th. He had an all Thomas the Train birthday. He is obsessed with trains. We just had a small party at home with our immediate family. The day after his birthday he climbed up on the kitchen counter and pulled the rest of his cake onto the floor. It landed frosted side down. I was not very happy. He didn't understand why we had to throw the cake away. He now walks around the house and says "Tyler two." He is talking so much; now if he would only grow.

Field Trip

Chris worked from home so I could go with Ethan's Kindergarten class to the Pumpkin farm. We had a great time. Ethan was so excited to ride the bus. We went on a hayride and got to choose a pumpkin out of the field. This took a long time because the little girl in my group did not like any of the pumpkins. I would suggest one and she would reply " no, I can find a better one." We were the last ones to get back on the hey wagon.

Ethan had an opportunity to feed a baby goat and pet a baby pig. He then led his class through a grass maze that had several tasks. We had to sing the alphabet and do jumping jacks, just to name a few. When we got to the end, we all took turns ringing the bell.

After we left the pumpkin farm, we went to a local park and ate lunch and watched the kids play. It was a good day, but very tiring.

A-maze-ing


We went to a corn maze on the Ocoee River last weekend. We spent about an hour in the maze and only completed half of it. It was a real adventure with the boys. Tyler decided it would be fun to stomp on a fire ant hill in the middle of the maze. Chris and I had to strip him down and shake his clothes out.



Tyler's favorite part of the day was riding the cow train. Ethan loved the soy bean maze that was in the shape of Tennessee. We walked through the soy bean maze and would stop at different cities to collect stickers of famous people from Tennessee.



Chris and I both enjoyed the hay ride. There was a very nice farmer who took the time to tell us all about the animals. He also let Tyler get an up close view of the tractor. We dressed for cool, fall weather, but it was in the eightys. I don't know if it will ever get cold here.
