School Field Trip...
Annual School Field Trip - Apple Picking
Alexander's school had their annual field trip to go apple picking! This was also the last time to go with TNN since next year Alexander & his friends will be in Kindergarten. Mommy went as a chaperone again and we all had a great time.
Alexander & Finn were in Mommy's group and we had fun on the bus talking about Halloween and singing songs. Once at the orchard, we rode a tractor over to apple trees. And then the kids filled up their bags. However, I think most of the kids ate more than they put in their bags.
After apple picking, we had cider & cider donuts for snack. Then we fed the animals, took a group photo and headed back to school! A great day!

- Alexander had a mixed week at school - days were either bad (timeouts, not listening/yelling) or great
- Sleeping was also mixed - most nights he woke up and came into bed with me and would stress he wanted to cuddle (also had a couple of accidents)

- Alexander & Daddy had a boys night on Wednesday - was asleep quick due to long day at school
- Thursday he was up really early but had a decent day at school
- Thursday night, Alexander & Mommy had a date night - went to dinner and then book shopping for Bennett's birthday present
- Friday night, Alexander & Daddy went to Nick's football game in the rain

Weekend Activities...
Weekend Activities - we had a busy, and fun weekend!
Saturday
Saturday morning, Mommy & Alexander headed out to soccer. Again, only two kids this week at soccer. And as luck would have it, it would have been great "private" lessons because Alexander was listening and not acting silly but the other kid was not behaving well and taking away from the coach. They ended up playing soccer and trying to dribble & score goals no the coach.
After soccer, we met Mimi for lunch at Fridays. After lunch, we went to the bookstore where Alexander showed Mimi the kids section and the places he likes to sit and read books. It is cute to watch him sit there, soaking it all in. Alexander had a moment of freshness and almost didn't get the books he & Mimi picked out, but thankfully he did apologize for being fresh & acting out. We then went over to Toys R Us so he could show Mimi how he rides the different bikes around and can practice his turns.
From there, we headed to Chris & Chris' house for Bennett's first birthday party (see separate post)! Alexander had fun playing with Bennett but he also was smitten with Hannah (Chris' step-sister) - so if we ever need a babysitter, I know he'll enjoy hanging out with Hannah! He was so pooped out from the day that he was asleep before we got home!
Sunday
Sunday morning, everyone was up! Mommy & Alexander went apple picking in the morning. We had fun on the hayride and he was more excited about being in the orchard. He was a great ladder climber and trying to scout out the biggest & best apples. After picking apples, we got some apple cider, checked out the piggies and headed home. Once home, we watched football! Somehow the Pats lost...then the boys went over to the high school to play before dinner & tubby. Overall a quiet afternoon.
Apple Picking...
Today, Alexander & Mommy went apple picking. We went on the tractor hayride around the orchard which Alexander loved checking out the tractor driving in the mud.
Once in the orchard, he tried to climb as many ladders as possible. I don't think he was doing so to pick apples but just climb.
But after he saw a girl pick apples and throw them down to her Mom that was his next big item o' fun for the day.
After we filled our bag with yummy apples, we walked over to the farm house for some cider and lunch. He checked out the animals and tractors. He then decided he wanted to take a picture of our apples - so this picture brought to you by Alexander

Celebrating Bennett...
Today was Bennett's First Birthday Party!
The cake was a book of Green Eggs & Ham complete with a green eggs, ham & a fork! Bennett himself then got his very own 'Horton Hears a Who' smash cake which is thoroughly enjoyed eating! It was a great party for a very lucky, adorable little boy!
