FROGS, PETTING ZOO, PUMPKINS & STANLEY

OK I have way to many pictures to even put on here...BUT we have had a busy few days. First TCU FROGS WHAT?? I am anxiously awaiting the BSC polls tomorrow I cannot believe we were #8 what will we be Monday...BUT really who cares about all that when I have the future first round draft pick in my living room, he was very excited for the game (well mostly just the baked beans we cooked for football food!!)

Today we woke up to a surprising beautiful day here in PA, we made the split decision to head out to the local petting zoo/wild life park. Side note, although I think its very neat to see black bears, tigers, and pot belly pigs all in the same area it was kinda sad. Anyway, B was terrified of just about every animal and I ended up feeding the animals by myself which is kinda gross but the food did resemble Kashi Go Lean (the kind my sweet friend Jilly eats!) We had the oppertunity to bring along our deer friend visiting from TX...Flat Stanley, for a split second I  forgot he was made of paper and we had a rather close encounter with a camel but don't worry Madi Stanley is just fine!!!

The end of our FULL day was followed by pumpkin carving and it was a blast, we of course continued to celebrate with making a TCU Pumpkin. BB was a little wary at first but then as I started to "cut out" the letters we knew his place he wanted the "TCU" letters back in the pumpkin so as I took things out he put it back, what a great little helper! He did put several seeds in his mouth and then would hand them to me...I must add a small side note with no pictures thankfully, POOP, POOP, and more POOP! BB awoke from his nap freaking out and found he had been attacked by the poop monster; he tried desperately to defeat this monster the only way he knew how, with his teeth. He soon discovered this monster has another defense mechanism, well it was poop after all and tasted pretty bad at that point he did what babies do best SCREAMED & SCREAMED until I came to the rescue but sadly I was a little late the bed, the crib, the floor and a small smear on the wall had all been taken down by the poop monster...Clean up was not fun, but as you can see from my post we did not let it ruin our day! Ok off to watch Dexter...MOMMY by day obsessive Dexter stalker by night.

Pumpkin Patching it...

Considering the fact that I have given up on my Mac Blogging I have decided to join the blogging train and steal an idea from my friend EM and hope that my blogging will be something BB can read someday. SOOO here we go...A few weeks ago we headed out to a pumpkin patch near our house, and Barrett had a blast especially actually ON the pumpkins. We picked out pumpkins, road a hayride and played in the hay...well B played in the hay and I took pictures and yelled at other kids as they tried to JUMP OVER his head(I felt like such a MOM)...humm! Our trip further confirmed to us that B is a typical boy in every way, he loves dirt, digging and even bugs. At the patch he picked the dirtiest pumpkin, sat smack down in a mud puddle, and attempted to dig a hole in the hay and on the way home he attempted to eat his snacks with bugs on his hands, yum...100% boy! 

I just had to add these two pictures they are my new favorite!!! Thanks GG & Aunt Hannah for B's new blue outfit! I need to get him a pair of shades of his own, he looks pretty darn cute!
