Almost...

Thomas just kills us with his innocence. Example:

Thomas are you picking your nose? "No, I'm just getting the boogers out."

Apple pickin'

Instant gratification.

Thomas LOVES apples. So, the ideal outing for him...the apple orchard. We went with Great Kathy this evening and picked quite a few apples. Also, as a special treat, we ate dinner at the Pie Pantry. Yummy!

Amazingly, this is the first picture of Thomas and Kathy. Not sure how I dropped the ball on that one.

If there is a tractor to be found, Thomas will find it. We stumbled upon this one on our way in to eat. I love that he just climbs up and acts like he has work to do. Even funnier is listening to him sing "I'll take you for a ride on my big, green tractor."

In his element

Thomas is really loving his new chainsaw. We spent a bit of time in the woods today so he could cut down some trees.

Finally!

Lot's of finally's here:

I finally posted some new pictures.

Thomas finally got his chainsaw. He wanted it this spring, but we didn't get it for him. Any opportunity at the store he would look at it, touch it, and I'm sure he would fantasize about bringing it home. Yesterday, I surprised him with it. It is his "now you are a potty trained big boy" toy!

I finally got my new stroller. Can't wait to use it! It looks small in this picture - Thomas is sitting on the footrest, but I assure you there is plenty of room for our growing boy! Thomas has been requesting rides through the house because it has been rainy and we can't go out :)

Retro

Thomas got these glasses about a month ago. He insists on wearing them when he rides in Daddy's truck. I love the innocence. He is so proud of these glassess. It makes us smile really BIG when he puts them on.

Fun with Jack!

We had an extra kiddo for the weekend. Our good friend, Jack, spent the night on Saturday. Thomas and Jack have been good buddies since they started daycare on the same day over 2.5 years ago. They had lots of fun!

Getting ready for Alan to take them on a trailer ride.

Jack was really proud of himself for finding this (dead) grasshopper.

Hanging in the fort. Alan made this fort for them last night. It was such a hit that they even ate breakfast in it this morning.

Kind of funny....as I am finishing this post, they are fighting and screaming over who gets a turn with the toy front end loader. Guess I better play mediator now....

Little Drummer Boy

Thomas has been serenading us with his "amazing" drumming skills lately. Yesterday, he did so wearing just his unders. Look closely....
