An Afternoon at Tougas Farm

September 19, 2010 Leave a comment

It may not be officially fall for another four days, but it sure does feel like it!  Today we spent the afternoon at Tougas Farm in Northboro after a recommendation from James, who’d taken his students there on a field trip a couple of weeks ago.

This is my absolute favorite picture of the day. He was so excited to be standing on that rock!

We  spent the afternoon drinking apple cider, feeding goats (video), getting heckled by roosters, playing on the playground and picking pumpkins.  Despite the fact that there were a million people there and it was basically impossible to snap a photo of Emmett on the tractor (which was very disappointing), we all had a blast!  We also learned, yet again, that a stick is always better than pretty much anything to little boys, even a patch full of pumpkins …

Emmett Experiences the Jersey Shore

August 25, 2010 3 comments

Last weekend was Emmett’s first trip to the Jersey shore!  The three of us headed down for a couple of days with my parents, and despite my fear that he was going to hate the sand and the ocean, he completely pulled through and loved every minute of it.  Apparently, all you have to do is plop that kid down in the sand, give him a shovel, and he’s good to go.

Good to Go!

Here’s a video of Emmett with dad and Nana, letting the ocean waves wash over his piggies (AKA toes) and jabbering about who knows what…

Emmett also enjoyed tossing sand, a leisurely bike ride, an evening stroll along the boardwalk, a ride on the carousel (which he was not a fan of) and some public dancing.

Emmett’s Mother’s Day Message

I can’t believe it’s already my second Mother’s Day!  James has been working all day, so it’s just been me and my little man.  He wanted to record a Mother’s Day message for his grandmothers and great grandmothers, and here was the best result…

Happy Mother’s Day to all my fellow mothers out there!

Puzzle Piece Cymbals

May 1, 2010 2 comments

Did you know wooden puzzle pieces make fabulous cymbals?  I didn’t — until recently…

I’m assuming this means Emmett is musically inclined.  I could also assume that he’s an out-of-box thinker.  Or it’s just that he’s a boy, and boys will be boys.
