On Thursday I attempted to do a little yard work but when each pile of leaves I raked turned into a playground for Nash, I gave up!
Atley got his stitches out Friday morning. Then he headed off to school. Nash had an afternoon with daddy while I went to our Lunch Bunch group to try a Filipino restaurant nearby. I have one suggestion. Don't try new and exotic food when you are 13 weeks pregnant. Bad experience. After school we headed to PUMPKINVILLE. Our first stop was the petting zoo where Atley tried to tackle a sheep and kiss a camel. At least Nash is kind to animals.
On to the slides, and jumping castles, topped off with a hay ride, and pumpkin picking!
Saturday we headed downtown to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. The Smithsonian was hosting a special event with PBS Kids. PBS has a new show called DINOSAUR TRAIN. My boys love this show. What boy wouldn't? Trains and dinosaurs, how can you go wrong with that? Anyway, there were activities and then a special screening of a never seen before episode of DINOSAUR TRAIN. Dr. Scott, a real life paleontologist on the show was present and the boys were super excited to meet him and get their picture taken with the famouos doctor. After the viewing Dr. Scott came on stage and said that he would take a few questions. Mind you, this is an auditorium of nearly 1000 people. Atley bolts from his seat to find a microphone. I chase after him, scared to death of what he might say. I reach him before he reaches the microphone and ask him what he is doing. He says, "Mom I have a question for Dr. Scott." I say, "Well, what is it?" He looks at me with an evil grin and says, "It's a surprise." I was terrified. But it was too late, they stick the microphone in his face. Atley clearly states, as I hold my breath, "My name is Atley. Dr. Scott how did you prove that a Troodon Dinosaur had the biggest brain of all the other dinosaurs?" I was dumbfounded. I didn't even know what a Troodon Dinosaur was, but Atley and Dr. Scott did and that was all that was important. Atley got his question answered. When I returned to my seat Nash had this sad look on his face. "Mom, I have a question for Dr. Scott." I say, "What is your question Nash?" Nash's response, "Why don't dinosaurs wear clothes?" I thought it was a great questions. Sorry about the fuzzy pictures.
We rushed home to host a BYU football party. A party we vow never to host again. We have hosted a party for the last three BYU losses-Utah last year, FSU, and TCU. What an embarrassment! At least the food and drink were good!
Sunday was the primary program in our ward. After church our neighborhood hosted a Halloween parade complete with an escort by the local Fire Department. The turtle and the frog had a great time!

That was a busy weekend but it looks like it was a lot of fun. My boys love Dinosaur Train too (like you said, what boy wouldn't?). I think both Atley and Nash had great questions. And they've got some cute costumes too! I wish we lived closer so the boys could hang out. I think they would have a great time together.
What a spirited and SMART kid! How did he learn to talk like a reporter? Tara doesn't like Dinosaur train much, maybe when she's older, don't know, maybe it's a boy thing.
Oh my goodness what a weekend, what wonderful boys. Loved those costumes, give us a close up soon.
Sounds like you had a blast. Cute costumes!!!
My boys love that show too! That is so cool they got their picture with that DR. Scott dude- I recognized him right away!
