Play date with Zephyr

The 2 boys are 3 weeks apart in age & neighbors. I gave them and important task of sorting beans today and well the cleaning was their idea thankfully.

Pumpkin Patch

Today was sooo exciting for me - we got to go to a pumpkin patch! I don't know why but Fall is so much more fun with a kid for me. We missed going with our friends on Saturday since Bradley was coming down with a cold & we didn't have the heart to drag him out there in the rain. Luckily today we were able to go in the sun, with a happy boy, no crowds and Rob got his pumpkin donut .

 There was lot to drive....including an "uck"

Sculpture Park

Last weekend we went to the Seattle sculpture park to enjoy the nice weather. Here are some of our fun pictures.

Dinosaurs & Turcks

We have entered the boy stage - Bradley loves trucks ("ucks") and dinosaurs. He points out all the trucks on the road. The dinosaurs are thanks to an Auntie Cory book, "How does a dinosaur say good night". There are days we've read it 5 or 6 times for him. Since today was a sunny but chilly fall day, I pulled out a Grandma Wanda sweater gift from last year and we was so excited to wear it. Loved pointing out his dinosaur!
