Bouncy House, Hoodsie Cups, and Tractors!





The Winning Fair Pumpkin - 1700 pounds!


BIG Tractor!



Cousin Maddy helping in the bouncy house (so Mommy would stop panicking that I was going to get trampled!)





What could be better??? Especially for an almost 2 year old boy??? This weekend started with Colin's cousin Sydney's birthday party which included both a bouncy house and a Hoodsie Cup - Colin is still deciding which was his favorite. I was helping by handing out spoons to all the kids and there's Colin sitting at the birthday table trying desperately to open the ice cream container. He was using his teeth, trying to pull at it with his hands, but he just couldn't do it...then I helped and he was in heaven! I don't think he cared much about the High School Musical birthday cake (yes, that was the theme!)...he just looked so big, sitting at the table with all the "big" kids...the bouncy house was a hit, except that the birthday girl got stung by a bee for the first time in her life at 1:00 exactly just as the first guests were arriving. It turned out OK though! Then, on Monday we hit the Topsfield Fair with Daddy and Nana. We thought we would be smart by going on a Monday morning, beat the crowds...well we were wrong, it was Senior Citizens Day which meant dodging a ton of wheelchairs, but we had a blast, Colin absolutely loved it! He still can't decide if sitting on the tractors or petting the sheep were his favorite (don't worry Michael and Shelby we had a face mask for him!)...anyhow another great fall weekend, and hard to believe that in 23 days he'll be "2"!!!
