Oh what a night!!

Yesterday was a LONG day. It started with fevers and doctor's visits...and ended with Kevin and I installing a baby gate on the boys bedroom door.

Let me start at the beginning. The boys and I got home from the doctor's in time for naps and we were all pretty wiped. I put my sweet innocent little boys in their cribs and came downstairs. After about 20 minutes of giggling...it started to get really silly up there so I decided to check it out. Tommy was IN Cole's crib!!!! He learned how to climb over!!! I put him back...and he did it again. Then Cole went into Tommy's crib. They were SO pleased with themselves... and mommy was horrified.

I finally decided to let them nap together and went to grab the baby monitor in my bedroom. All of a sudden I heard a *thud* followed by little footsteps. Tommy stood in my door and said, "Hi Mommy!" Ahhhh!!!!!!!!

In this video, you'll see them climbing into each other's crib. They are saying "help me" to each other...and clamoring over who goes first. (Note: If you hear Tommy say "T" it's because that is what he calls himself. Tommy=T)

The floor is now covered with cushions and their beds are separated. We're making the move to toddler beds. The time has come.

Weir River Farm

This morning I took the kids to Weir River Farm in Hingham for story time. It is such a beautiful setting atop a pretty hill. The farm has all sorts of animals for the kids to visit...horses, chickens, goats, sheep, pigs...even a llama! After exploring the farm, everyone makes their way to the picnic area to listen to stories about animals. It was so much fun and the boys loved every minute. I can't wait to go back!

If you look down the hill in this photo...all the way to the right...you'll see the group of people there for story time. I left a little early to make the climb back up as I knew it would be tough. Pushing two 30 pound kids in a stroller with all their gear wasn't easy! I was huffing and puffing at the top. :) The scenery was beautiful though...

The boys checking out the goats...

Peeping Tom

The horses were amazing. So friendly letting the kids pet their noses.

Cole had a *way* with the horses. It's like he was communicating with them. I have about 5 photos like this...

This picture of Tommy cracks me up. It looks like game day and he is in a huddle with the chickens. Tommy loves the chickens...although he still calls them ducks.

This "duck" was very noisy...

Tommy is very happy! You will hear him say "quack" here. As I mentioned previously - to these kids - all chickens are ducks.

Sunny September

The weather has been GORGEOUS here in Boston, which has meant lots of time spent outdoors. I took the boys to the local park the other day where they have all these cool ride-on toys that people just leave for the kids to use. Cole fell in love with this truck...who wouldn't? It is awesome!

Dress Rehearsal

The boys geared up for winter by trying on some new duds. Here they are with their new flannel pants and snow hats. They didn't want to put on their shirts, but I don't blame them...it was hot! So cute. :)

Just a cute video...
