Nanna, Poppa and Thomas

One of the fun outings we had when Nanna and Poppa came to visit, was a trip to see Thomas the train. We had gone to the Day out with Thomas last year while in Maine, and the boys loved it. So we found a local Thomas event - and it was a perfect day for Nanna, Grammy, the boys and me. (Poppa got to stay home with Rob...more on that...)

You can see the blue Thomas train on the right hand side - can you tell we were sitting in the way back? This photo also shows all the fun rides at the park.

Riding on the caterpillar...the first of many rides. The boys (Wes especially) have inherited my love for amusement rides.

Win and I rode the flying elephants. Charlie and Grammy were in the elephant behind us, while Wes and Nanna went on the ferris wheel.

It was a good thing Nanna and Wes got on the ferris wheel when they did. They were one of the last people off before the ride was shut down due to a malfunction!


And if the day couldn't get any better, we came home to Daddy and Poppa making the boys big boy beds. It was such a gift that Poppa and Rob did this for the boys! More bed photos to come in the next post. Can you believe they made 3 beds in 8 hours?


The only downside to the day was that I ended up getting very sick. I was knocked out for the next two days with what turned out to be a sinus/chest infection. What an added blessing that Nanna and Poppa were here when they were, so I could rest and recover.

Preschool!

Yet again I am way behind in blogging. A month behind exactly. August brought Maine, Nanna & Poppa, big boy beds, Thomas the train...photos to come, I promise.

But for now I will post what is fresh in my mind and making me giddy. Preschool!!

This week brought the boys first day of preschool...hooray! They only go 2 days a week, for 3 hours each day. But I'll take it! I put them in their birthday t-shirts that have their names on them, to help the teachers out. They were so thankful, they asked me to put them in them again the next day so they could easily tell the boys apart. And the best part is that the boys could care less when I leave - they seem really happy in the classroom.

And tomorrow, soccer starts. They are babies no more!
