Pumpkin Patch

We had a great day at the Pumpkin Patches...yep, we went to more than one. The first one wasn't patch friendly...way too muddy and too many Yellow Jackets....why are these still out? So we looked at all the animals and then took off:

At the second place, we borrowed a wagon to carry Ethan and our pumpkins. Ethan had fallen asleep on the drive, but he transitioned to the wagon, sleeping.

He LOVED the wagon (I know what is on his list this year for Christmas).

Okay, maybe a Zebra is cool....

Ethan is still weary of his costume; but as long as he isn't actually wearing it, he LOVES it:

Yo, Gabba Gabba!!!!

At the beginning of Summer, I was complaining about this show. I never gave it the time or attention it deserved. Well, we've been looking for merchandise all summer long to no avail. The last month or so, the marketing department has finally got the ball rolling....

I found tee shirts for Brock and Ethan....

Lesson learned...

For those who read this regularly, I ruined THE Lion (well, gave him a new do...):(

Ethan takes his Lion to daycare with him, and I had to wash him one weekend because I had a gross mental picture of all the germs. He washed well, and dried well too...a little too much! I only meant to put him in the dryer for a bit, just to speed up the process...but obviously it was too long.

Here is the end result:

I even tried to 'pick' out the hair with a fork.

Poor Ethan, when I handed him over, Ethan just looked at him, smelled him and after a few minutes finally gave Lion some love to cheer him up.

"I don't wanna be a ZEBRA!!!!"

If Ethan could talk in words we understood, that is what he would be saying about his Halloween costume. We tried on the Zebra to ensure it would fit; here is the progression of the events:

One fish, two fish, THREE FISH!!!

Ethan and I joined Stacy and kiddos for an afternoon of fish watching. Actually, it was pretty entertaining as it was salmon we were watching. They were jumping so high and there were SO MANY of them.

Here is a picture of the salmon (Stacy and I kept thinking how yummy they would taste..hahaha):

Ethan and Lily watching:

Toddler Mischief....

Boy, it feels weird to call Ethan a toddler!

He has been causing a ruckus all over:

In Portia's Cage:

And YES, he is biting her bone!

Pulling out wipes and diapers:


Playing with toilet paper:




Playing in the Tupperware drawer at Grandma and Grandpa's house:


Riding QUAD backwards:


And here is a video of Brock catching Ethan with the wipe container...Brock ends up scaring Ethan (pretty funny) and you will also get to see Ethan is his PRIME TERRIBLE TWO stage (yes, it has already started)
