Pumpkinland, FINALLY!!!

Paul and I finally went together with his class to Pumpkinland, in Mechanic Falls, ME on Thursday of this week. It was our third time trying to go, because we had 2 previous rain dates (the kids were beginning to get really disappointed).

Soooooo....here are some pictures of our day!! Above, Paul and the other kids are picking out their pumpkins. Of course, Paul's was a "perfect" pumpkin without any bumps, dirt, or marks of any kind and was perfectly shaped and the stem was perfect too....he is a cutie!!

Paul on the FrankenSlide.......

Paul with the Woodhoe. I think that he would have been on this all day long if he had the chance. ; )



Paul, smiling away for mommy!


Paulie in the ball bounce zone....(or as mommy likes to call it, "an accident waiting to happen!")



Paul and some of his classmates!



Paul and his buddies playing with the wooden eggs....rolling them up the chutes, into the holes.



Paul with his latest art project ( the leaf behind him) the morning before we left for school. The kids all wear special shirts so we know who is from the same school. A GREAT idea, I think!!
It was a wonderful day, and I had so much fun! At the end, Paul told me, "Mommy, aren't you glad that I invited you!?" It was a sweet moment. I love that guy!! : )

Beantown, baby!!

Columbus Day weekend, we (minus David...he stayed with my mom) traveled to Boston to visit (Uncle) John and spending some time at the Boston Children's Museum. We had a great time, and here are some of the things that the boys did at the museum!!

playing in the sandbox.....they were making pancakes.


the 4 of us outside the gift shop, with our new purchases...


checking out how much POWER they have to power the sign above them....



climbing on the 3 STORY tall 3-D maze....

Paulie pulled himself up, with a little help from Daddy-o!


My serious artist, Henry Lawrence....


Paulie, at Johnny's Workbench, a great handy man!


the boys at the Peep's World stream, playing in the water... lots of fun!




too busy to look at Mommy.....playing in the Construction Zone area. This was their favorite place, and we came back at least twice to visit this section.


driving the Bobcat.....



Paulie and Uncle John in the Bobcat...

We had a great time and can't wait to go again, when they are a little older so David can go too!
