No more Nuk Nuk!

I am officially a big boy!  Mommy and Daddy have been telling me all week that the Nuk Nuk fairy was going to come on Friday night.  I thought they were kidding, but since they kept bringing it up every day, I started to get a little nervous.  When mommy picked me up from daycare on Friday, in typical fashion, I asked for my 'Na Na' when I got into the car.  Mommy reminded me that the Nuk Nuk fairy was coming, and I BROKE DOWN.  I cried all the way home.  When we got home, I ran to daddy crying and started yelling at mommy.  They decided to let me have it 'one last time.'  Then we went to the toy store and I picked out a huge Woody (Toy Story) doll as a consolation for giving up my Nuk.  I was okay with it until bedtime, and then I broke down again.  Mommy laid in my bed with me to make me feel better, and I eventually came to terms with the fact that I would give up my Nuk.  She reminded me how I was a big boy and that the babies need my Nuks.
On Saturday I only asked for my Nuk a few times, but I remembered that I had given them up and they were gone.  I'm still a little sad, but I'm a big boy and am proud of myself!  When mommy was putting together the nursery today, I even told her (without any prompting) that we needed to put a Nuk in the crib for the baby.

That's all for now.  G'night from the 'big boy'.  

Friday Night Fun

Last Friday night, we got together with a bunch of our friends and had pizza, beer (juice for us of course), and then the Dads and boys headed to the Rogers football homecoming game.  Since I was a little cranky that day, I decided at the last minute to stay home with the girls and little kids.  Daddy was disappointed that he couldn't bring me with to the game.
My friends and I had so much fun playing and eating snacks while our Moms caught up and sipped on wine.  Here is the only picture from the evening.  My best friend Kendyl and I like to go off on our own and play.  We even crawled into baby Bennett's crib.  Both of our mommies were a little upset, oops :)

Apple Orchard

On Saturday we met up some of our friends at Apple Jack Orchards.  I have been talking about picking out my 'big pumpkin' for weeks now, and I was excited that it was finally time to go!

Finally, the pumpkins!

So many to pick from!

Not thrilled to stand by the sign :)  

We met up some of my friends over by the orchard, and they were doing train rides behind the tractor.  I was so proud of myself for going on the ride by myself....just don't mind the Nuk in my mouth.  I needed a little comfort to get me through the long ride :)

Some of the kids on the wagon ride..again, ignore the Nuk.
I'm working through my addiction I promise :)  

All of us kids minus Addie and the three babies 

Lunch on the run...too much to see to eat sitting down :)
