\"Langley<\/p>\n

* Pumpkin patch\u2019ed it with the prenatal group. A four year tradition. Noah loved it. And I actually brought my camera and USED it. Normally when I go out with the boys, I can barely manage to keep up with them never-mind the memory making aspect. Mattias remained in the stroller most of the time.<\/p>\n

* Llama. Shortly after I took the photo, the voice of the tour guide on the train at the zoo rang in my ears. \u201cDon\u2019t get too close because the Llama can spit up to 12 feet.\u201d That would have been pleasant.<\/p>\n

* Noah picking out a pumpkin. In the farthest corner of the field. Of course.<\/p>\n

* Mr. Lion and Mr. Giraffe. Noah was so excited about his costume. Thrilled. He spent at least 2 hours a day wearing the costume in the days leading up to Halloween. Much of that time was spent roaring and growling and crawling around the house.<\/p>\n

* Enjoying a nap. Actually Noah has been having longer naps again. I am such a chicken when it comes to waking him up early from his naps because it is so utterly painful. The drama. Often he is crying \/ wailing \/ screaming for over an hour if he is woken up prematurely. Sometimes as long as 2 hours. It\u2019s normal but still painful. So the goal is to keep him awake. Every day.<\/p>\n

* Mattias did really well with the trick-or-treating. He joined Noah in walking from house to house and he loved to knock on each of the doors.<\/p>\n

* Me and my boys at the patch. Thank Christine!<\/p>\n

* There was an old gumball machine at the petting zoo full of food for the goats. I refused to pay 25 cents so that Noah could feed them. Not to worry. Noah parked himself by the gumball machine and every single person gave him some of their grain. Those goats loved him. I was truly astounded at his interest in the animals. I will need to find some petting zoos near our house to visit.<\/p>\n

* If you visit Alder Acres, there is a very good chance that you\u2019ll see farmer Anderson booting around in his John Deere at some point. Noah had an eye for the JD and quickly made friends with the farmer. Favorite question: \u201cwhat are you doing?\u201d. Followed by \u201cwhy?\u201d and a host of other questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
