Weekend Activities...
Weekend Activities...It was a busy yet fun weekend!
Saturday morning, Alexander & Mommy hung out at Mimi & Papi's before heading home. We had breakfast, played Wii, and Alexander & Papi watched Cars 2. Once at home, Alexander hung out with Daddy. The boys had some good bonding time.
They worked on the leaves together outside (thankfully we've been very lucky with great weather). They also hung out with our neighbors across the street. That afternoon, Daddy took Alexander to the movies to see The Muppet Movie. Alexander has seen the commercials and thought it looked funny....as it turned out, at one point Kermit talked about how he missed his friends and that made Alexander incredibly sad. He started crying and didn't want to watch the rest of the movie. So the boys headed home and chilled out at home.
Sunday morning, they hung out & played some Wii. Then they went to play some indoor mini-golf and got some ice cream before coming home and watching football for the afternoon!
Mommy & Alexander did some cuddling in the afternoon during the Patriots game where he proceeded to root for a team on every game to win. He loves his football!

History of Thanksgiving...
Seeing as how the annual tradition of Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was on Thanksgiving night - Alexander stayed up to watch it. Charlie Brown and his friends talked about the British coming over on the Mayflower, landing on Plymouth Rock and that first thanksgiving meal.
Because of that, Mimi & Papi thought it would be cool to bring him to the actual place where the Pilgrims landed. We went on a tour of the Mayflower II ship and we saw Plymouth Rock

Weekend Activities...
We finally had a fairly low key weekend without any major plans! Daddy went to NJ for Joan's birthday so it was just Mommy & Alexander.
Saturday we went to soccer (which he does very well with drills but once the coaches try to play a 'game' the boys have a tendency to run more than focus on drills). After soccer, the original thought was that we would go into Fanueil Hall for the tree lighting (although that just feels too early for me) but Alexander wasn't up for it so we went to the Hingham Shipyard for a good burger instead. We had some good food and then went over to the shipyard walk to check out the boats & took some fun photos. After lunch, we headed to the mall where Alexander got some chocolate ice cream and played in the play area for a while. Came home & cuddled a bit before it was time for bed!
The plan for Sunday was to get dressed and out of the house fairly early however Alexander really just wanted to lounge around in the morning. Instead of spending the whole day outside - we ran a few errands, went out to lunch and then Alexander started to get tired/cranky. We went to a nearby bike trail and took a really nice walk. After the walk, Alexander was still a bit cranky so after some quiet time, we watched a bit of football, had some dinner and got ready for bed. Thankfully someone still really enjoys his new bed...

Big Boy Bed...
Alexander is finally getting himself a big boy bed - no more convertible
bed, but a true big boy bed! Lately he's been coming in to cuddle with
Mommy every night because he says it's much more comfier. And I have
to agree with him, his old bed was just not that comfy.
But not anymore - he will have his very own comfy & cozy bed! With plenty of space too! I made sure to get him cozy & warm blankets to ensure he'll want to stay in each night. Then Alexander & Mommy went to pick out the fun bedding.
When Alexander left for school Friday morning, his room looked like this:
