Pumpkin Train

Instead of a pumpkin patch this week, we rode a little train that stopped in a pumpkin yard! I got to pick my very own. It has a great stem, so I can hold it in one hand. Mary is not allowed to hold it for me.


We were tuckered out by the time we got back to the train station. Good thing they had a bale of hay to sit on.


Here comes the Choo-CHoo! Mary taught me to hold my ears so that the whistle won't scare me.



The train went FAST through the forest. Mom got pretty nervous without a door or windows to keep me in. I sat in my seat the whole time, and even held Mary's pumpkin for her


Does my sister look like a giant, or what? the train was just our size!




My last look as the Engineer backed up to stop at the water tower and pick up the next group. The train was blue- JUST LIKE THOMAS!




All- Aboard! We got a whole train car to our selves! CHHHHEEEEEEEESEEE! and hi from Mary.

Am I mad? Does Mary think the Diesel train is stinky? Autumn at the train yard is gorgeous:)

I have a little Asthma when I get a cold, so I've had to use my nebulizer all month to get albuterol in my lungs. I used to cry, but then Mom gave me my first official TV time- I get to watch Thomas and Freinds videos while I do it- so Now I want to do it ALL THE TIME! I don't know if I'm addicted to the medicine, or the Choo-choos, but choo-choos are the best!!!

PUMPKIN TIME!!!

A PUMPKIN picked from our very own garden! (Mom's only planted pumpkin seeds 3 or 4 times in the last 2 years... she finally got one to grow! We think that a fairy god-mother must have said bibbity-bobbity-boo for us this time)

Dad knows how to stir the caramel for apple-dipping! Isn't he handsome in the kitchen???

Yummiest- Stickiest - FHE treat EVER:)
Can I really bite this thing???Ta-DA!!!
Mom May have had to finish 3 of the apples, but maybe our new baby brother needed some, too:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!

Today , my sister turned 4 years old!

Doesn't her new dress look great? The cupcakes were wonderful. I got Mom to give me one with the other kids before lunch, again during lunch, and then I nibbled one when I sat down for dinner, too.
For Mary's Birthday Dinner, Mom offered everything in the book that she ever makes for dinner. Mary chose her Birthday Lucky Charms, corn from yesterday's farmers' market, and canned peaches.
I got to help blow out candles tonight... my sister gets a little shy when we all sing to her...

Now that Mary's 4, she gets to sleep on the top bunk. I talked Mom and Dad into letting me try out the bottom bunk, rather than my crib...

I didn't stay there long. So, Dad helped me down from Mary's bunk and into my crib. Then we both fell asleep quickly.

Happy Birthday, Mary!!!
