Playgroup

Last week for playgroup we went to a local wildlife center. We met many animals, but all Aidan was interested in was running around. (pictures taken from Cherisa, I love how she always brings her camera, I always forget mine!)

Edaville Railroad

Aidan really wasn't all that interested in the light displays during the train ride, but he sure loved having his family there to run back and forth to.




Since it was around 30 degrees, we bundled Aidan up so much he could barely move.

Aidan with Papa.

On his first carousel ride. He wouldn't sit on the horses, and every once in awhile he had a petrified look on his face, and almost burst into tears. but he didn't, and all was good. (I'm on the horse behind Craig and Aidan.)

We had lots of fun looking at all the lights, the train ride, carousel. Craig talked Krissy and I into going on the Tilt-A-Whirl, and of course making it spin so fast, I couldn't tell the ride had stopped! We were laughing so hard at each other screaming, and Craig trying to push us from side to side.

Ellis Gym-Playgroup

Our wonderful playgroup director comes up with the best ideas. I am excited to get my itinerary for the upcoming month because I find myself saying "Oh, I can't wait to do that!" I mean, I can't wait for Aidan to do that...;-)

Last month we headed to Ellis Gym, a place where Craig and I both took gymnastics years (and years) ago. I was excited to take Aidan, because I knew how much fun "the pit" and the big in floor trampoline was. Although Aidan was too small still for the "good" stuff, he had loads and loads of fun hanging out on the mats and playing with balls.

Farm Day!

(I forgot I had these on my camera!)

In October we went to Farm Day in Marshfield.





This was Aidans favorite part, he would not leave this cows side. He would cry if we tried to pick him up and carry him away. Luckily, the cow decided to come over and get a closer look at Aidan. Well Aidan was not too thrilled with that idea, and decided he had enough of the cow.


On the hayride.



Enjoying the band. Aidan felt they needed a drummer.

I swear Aidan is going to be a drummer in a band or something when he is older. He will find anything to use as a drum, and he rocks out. It is so funny!

King Richards Faire

In September we went to King Richards Faire. Its a renaissance fair/marketplace. Everyone is dressed up (including some of the visitors). We love to people watch and just walk around.

Craig and Aidan getting ready for the joust.

We had the best seats in the house for the joust.

The newlyweds. They left the next day on their honeymoon. (We were jealous!)

Seeing the sights.

Our family.

Rainy Day Ideas?

Rain Rain go away, come again another day....

Saturday is family day in our house. We like to be outdoors, and we want to take advantage of the warm weather for as long as we can. (o.k, 40-50 degree weather may not be warm to some, but it is to us) anywho, our plans of outdoor activity have been put on hold, and we are now racking our brain for indoor family activites... as you can see by the above picture, we are dying to get out of the house.

I think we have a few ideas, but if anyone wants to share what they do as a family on rainy day, let us know!! Please...

Happy Halloween!!

This year we headed to Aunt Nancy's neighboorhood to trick or treat with the cousins and their friends.



Aidan made a new friend named Sean. They were SO cute together. They had the baby babble going on, and when one cried the other followed.

Aidan loved trick or treating, not that he got to eat candy or anything, he was enjoying riding in his wagon and being with other kids.

It sure as tiring, and he fell fast asleep on the way home.

Oh No!

Aidan has gotten his first black and blue while trying to walk! He was playing with his Thomas the Train, and he fell on it, hitting his face below his left (in the picture) eye. You can barely see it in the picture, I know, but it is there!! I think it upset me more than Aidan, as he cried for a second and went back to trying to drag Thomas around the room.

Go Patriots!!

Mommys Lil' Helper

Aidan loves helping mommy with housework.

He vacuums.


Organizes the cabinets.


Cooks with the crockpot.

Labor Day Weekend!

On Saturday we went to Duxbury beach to celebrate the long weekend. We had a good group with us, and Aidan made a friend.


This wagon is Aidan favorite. We take him for daily walks in it at home, and we take him (and friends) for walks in it on the beach. (thank you nana d!!)


Emily and Aidan burying Aidans legs in the sand. He was loving this!


Craig is very porud of his packing, and unpacking skills. We had a GREAT set up this past weekend thanks to Craig!





Summer is almost over...

Birthday Weekend

We headed to NYC/NJ for a birthday weekend. I turned 30 on August 25th.


The Jeep top is off, and I am catching some sun!


Saturday night Emily was nice enough to babysit Aidan so Craig and I could go out with my girlfriends.

The BIG 3-0!!! Yikes!


Aidan at the Cheesecake Factory Sunday night, after our trip to SOHO. Canal Street was AWESOME!! We got the best faux pocketbooks!!

New Shoes

Nana Donahue and I took Aidan to Stride Rite to get some new shoes. He is going to be walking soon , and he really needed a good pair.




He didn't like them at first, but after awhile he was cruising around the store.


Thank you Nana D!!!

My Birthday Party

In August we joined playgroup at Hollis Park. Aidan loved hanging with the kids, and swinging on the swings.
