The Three Little B's (Booboo, Bambam and Ben)

Here are pictures of Lauren (Booboo), Jackson (Bambam) and Ben. These were taken during our visit to Toronto last Nov 16-19.






There are so many we want to share with you so we put the rest in this slide show.


Ben's First Haircut

Ben's hair is fine and there's really not a lot, yet. However, the hair at the back is getting longer so we figured it was time for his first haircut.









We timed it so he can go to Melonhead in Toronto, Canada. His cousins Lauren and Jackson had their first haircut there so we knew they were good with toddlers.

He sat at the Thomas The Engine chair and was cool about the whole thing. He didn't like the razor, though and protested and started to cry. Overall, though, he did very well. We were so proud of him. As you can see Matt was videotaping it and I was taking the pictures.










After that, he got a sucker for a treat and was able to ride the other chairs they have. He was also given a certificate of his first haircut with a lock of his hair saved for posterity.

1st Halloween

Ben survived his first Halloween! For a first-timer, he did very well. After 1-2 houses, he really got into it. He figured out that he had to get some of the candies being offered and he knew that he had to put it in his pumpkin basket.















We think he really had a nice time lining up with the rest of the neighborhood kids as they waited for their turn to get their goodies.

It was a bit chilly Halloween night and quite tiring for him so to cap the day, we went to Starbucks to chill.





Hope you all had a good Halloween. Until next year!

Fall Festival at Ben's School

As part of their fundraising efforts for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and in celebration of the fall season, La Petite Academy had a week-long activity at the school. Monday was Crazy Hair Day, Tuesday was Crazy Sock Day, then Crazy Hat Day for Wednesday and Crazy PJ Day on Thursday. Friday was the open house/halloween party.

Here are the pictures from the Halloween party.

Lots of Fun at the Farm

There were lots of activities available to kids young and old at the Pumpkin Patch. There was the hayride and then the farm animal petting area. There was also the miniature maze and the slides. Then there was the cow ride and the corn kernel box.

Here are the pictures!
