Weekend Activities...
We had a very busy weekend - Alexander did a great job with all of the different activities but more importantly he had a blast!
Saturday
Saturday morning started with soccer in the morning. I don't know what was different about this week but all 4 boys did a really good job - both with listening and with the actual drills. Alexander actually had a solid 30 minutes of good drills, good ball handling, good technique.
After soccer, Daddy & Alexander went to cousin Michael's birthday party. It was an indoor playplace where the kids played on jumpees & played on soccer turf. Then they all sang Happy Birthday to Michael. From there, Alexander & Daddy went back to uncle Matt's house to hang out with everyone for a while before they went to cousin Nick's football game.
Alexander & Daddy stayed for all of the game as Alexander really likes watching Nick play football. His voice was a bit hoarse from being outside in the chill air - let's hope he doesn't get sick!
Sunday
Sunday was another busy day! Sunday morning was a relaxing morning, playing Wii with Daddy. (For the record, on Mommy's morning Alexander woke at 5:30a; on Daddy's morning he woke at 7am) They then went apple picking with the rest of the family for a few hours.
Daddy & Alexander came home and then it was the time Alexander has been talking about for 4 days - Cassie was coming over! Mommy had a baby shower and Daddy was going to the Patriots game, so Cassie came over to watch Alexander for a few hours. He was so excited. Cassie & Alexander went to a nearby park, where they also met up with another teacher from school and her daughter. Cassie said they played baseball and the two kids ran and ran and ran. They got home right before Mommy did.
Then Mommy & Alexander cuddled on the couch and watch the rest of the Patriots game - where the Patriots won and we did our own little dance! The little guy was asleep pretty quickly tonight!
Apple Picking...
Sunday, Alexander & Daddy went apple picking in the early afternoon with the rest of the clan. Alexander said he had fun hanging out with the boys (Chris, Will & Michael) and even helped Uncle Matt put apples in the bag!

Hello Wally...
For the month of October, rather that the mystery box, Alexander and his friends each had their own day to bring in their favorite book.
Alexander picked "Hello Wally"
His day to bring in his favorite book was October 13th and he was so excited! He said Miss Katie read his book and he said she was funny reading it.

Fenway Park Tour...
This morning, Alexander & Mommy went on a tour of Fenway Park. It was beautiful weather and we had a great morning. We got there in the morning and enjoyed the gorgeous weather before heading into the ballpark.
The tour brought us all around the ballpark - thru Rightfield, thru the concourse, onto the field, onto the Green Monstah seats (which as an amazing view of the field), and then into the oldest Grandstand seats in baseball.
It was such a great treat to go on the tour!
Fenway Love...
