weekends of fun!

Last weekend D was out of town on a boys camping trip for our friend Joe's bachelor party.  So O and I took the opportunity to hang out with the other "single Mom for the weekend" and his little friends MJ and G.
We headed to the Grand Harvest - a little celebration of the fall harvest that Grand Ave in St Paul puts on.  Which for our purposes really consisted of time spent at the petting zoo.  He kept mooing at the goats...clearly we need to work on our barnyard animal recognition some more!


giggling madly as the goats ate from his bowl of goat-feed


The next day we again met up with MJ And G at the Children's museum.  Where they had a new exhibit that consisted of all things craft.  Owen spent a fair bit of time drawing and gluing, but also really loved the little room that was painted completely white and the kids "coloured" it with coloured tape.

 And of course, a museum favourite, the replica city bus.

driving this will take 2 people I think...another for the pedals

"BEEP! Outta my way!"
He and MJ were very cute walking back through the skyway to the cars post museum!

This weekend we travelled to Menominie, WI for our good friends' Joe and Anna's wedding.  Owen was looking pretty dapper in his argyle sweater vest courtesy of his Great Auntie Mich.  Thanks Auntie Mich!

 A little afternoon walk and play on Sunday rounded out the last of our weekend.

farmers market

O had to stop and take a little rest on a bench at the farmers market on Sunday.  It's tough work buying vegetables!

good start to fall

Twice over the past 2 weeks Owen has arrived home from daycare just exhausted from his hard day of playing and needing a cat nap before dinner.
this is the only time he naps on me anymore...it was kind of nice!


sacked out!
 

"Where's my truck?"
 Leaving the park O insisted on wearing his backpack like a big boy...too bad the straps don't actually tighten small enough for his "big boy" frame.

perhaps it will stay on better on the front...



pantless low ridin'...where's that trucker hat...
