Tractor Time
Erie Orchard has a whole set up of tractors for the kids to play on. In addition to two real tractors, they also have peddle tractors. Once all the field trip kids cleared out, the boys had the tractors all to themselves. And they took full advantage. Nick was climbing up on the big tractors all by himself because he's an awesome monkey like that.

A Trip To Erie Orchard
I took Thursday off this week, so the boys and I headed up to Erie Orchard to get some Northern Spy apples. They are the only place around that carries them and Aunt Sarah will boycott Thanksgiving if there is no Northern Spy apple pie.
The orchard has lots of stuff for kids including play equipment, pumpkins, goats and chickens. I wasn't thinking and we got there right at 10...the exact same time as the 4 buses of kids there for field trips! It was a little crazy for about 15 minutes, but then all the kids took hay rides and we had the whole place to ourselves. While we waited for the field trippers to board their hay rides, we enjoyed our doughnuts in the wooden fire truck.

Eating Big Boy Style
Nick enjoying this waffles with Nutella, sitting in a big chair, all by himself. He now prefers to sit in big chairs without his high chair. He also now eats at the table, no longer using his high chair tray :(
Fall Colors Around the Neighborhood
We took a walk Tuesday night to see the pretty colors in the neighborhood. The 'little' decorative trees are really pretty right now. I'm glad we went Tuesday because we got a lot of wind yesterday that knocked a lot of the leaves off the trees.

Pumpkin Patch
Yesterday we headed out to the pumpkin farm for our annual trip. Ben remembered everything from last year and went running around to confirm everything was where it should be. Nick, well, Nick was tired and not so into it. Ben was a very good picture sport this year, though. They both sported the knit hats Grandma Lee got them in Seattle this summer. Nick's is a little big yet, so we had to fold it over. Ben picked out two big pumpkins and two little pumpkins. He was very proud of himself for his selection.
And then came the throw-your-self-on-the-ground tantrum. We called it a day with that.

Nick's Last Bath
No, really. It was his last bath. Nick is no longer allowed to take baths. As seen in the following video, he is dangerous in the tub. You can see how bright red his knees, head and elbow are. He is a crazy maniac in the bathtub so for from now on, he will take showers. And he is perfectly well behaved in the shower. (The sound disappeared in the transfer from my ipod to the computer, but it was just a bunch of crazy screaming from both Nick and me)
