Pumpkin Carving

Owen was quite a helper with pumpkin carving this year. He was not a fan of the stuff inside the pumpkin, but he loved the carving aspect.
Due to a heavy snow storm, we were without electricity, so we had to run to get our carving done during daylight hours in a chilly house.
The finished masterpieces turned out pretty cool.

Halloween Parade

Our local preschool network holds a Halloween parade every year on the Lexington Battle Green. The little tikes get dressed up and march around with their noise makers. The Kuder boys decided that a wagon pulled by Daddy was more enjoyable than walking on their own.
Owen's buddy, Danya, also came and joined in on the festivities. It may have been cold, but it sure was a lot of fun.

Fire Station Open House

Owen continues he adoration of firetrucks and everything about firemen. When our local fire station had an open house, we knew Owen would love it. Not only did he get to climb all over the trucks, but he got to shoot water with a fire hose.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

For my birthday, Owen gave me some wonderful artwork.

Parlee Farm

We went to Parlee Farm to pick out our pumpkins, but they had lots of other fun activities to enjoy. These tractors were something else. They were automated, but the petal was too far for Owen's foot. Daddy had the pleasure of pushing Owen around. Isn't that face priceless?

Owen absolutely loved running around on top of the haystacks. He went back 3 times!

Then we got to pick out pumpkins and Owen did a great job. He was so thrilled with his selection.

Columbus Day with Daddy


Mommy had to work, but Daddy had Columbus Day off, so he took the boys to the Boston Children's Museum. It looks like they had a great time.

Thomas Day at Edaville

We had a fantastic day at Edaville.
The carousel is a favorite.
And Owen was especially excited to ride Thomas!

Apple Picking

We had a warm day to go apple picking at Shelburne Farm, in Stow.
Little Boys + Tractors = Big Smiles

Custume Tryout

Owen decided that he wants to be Spiderman for Halloween. We aren't really sure where he got the idea to be Spiderman since we have not toys or seen any tv of spiderman. But none the less, he is super excited to be his favorite super hero.

Melt My Heart

I know I'm Owen's mother, and I'm a bit biased, but isn't he just the cutest, most charming little guy? This boy has melted my heart in ways I didn't think possible. I love to see him smile -- I feel like it brings out the best in me as well.

Our Little Artist

Owen has been really into drawing and coloring these days. He has gotten so good with coloring in the lines and producing drawling that actually look like something. We are so proud of our budding artist.
