Natural History Museum

Today we woke up ready for a cool journey so we decided it would be cool to go to DC and check out the Natural History Museum since Wyatt is really into dinosaurs.

 Look at this gruesome guy!

 Wyatt loved the mammals exhibits

 Look who was sitting next to Wyatt during the mammal movie

 Wyatt's hand was bigger than the Koala's hand

One of the coolest parts of the museum was the butterfly garden

 Wyatt climbing out of the termite mound ewww...

 Wyatt loved looking at all those yucky bugs

 The Egyptian Exhibit!!!!!!!! Mommy was totally excited!!!!

 After looking at all those old bones Wyatt got a little scared of the skeletons and we figured it was getting dark and would be a good time to head out of the museum.

 Nonna, Mommy, and Wyatt on the Mall outside of the Washington Monument

 Wyatt was very happy when he saw the cool carousel on the Mall.  He proved he could keep up with all those Washington politians by waving at all the people as he went around and around.  I think he got some votes that night!

What a great night!!!!!!!!!!

Big Boy Bed

Mommy and Daddy had been thinking for a while that Wyatt seemed ready to be sleeping in a big boy bed.  He has become such an expert climber from climbing out of his crib (for a loooong time now).  Uncle John and Aunt Maggie let Wyatt use an extra bed they had.  It is cool too because it was the very first big boy bed that William used.  You can tell Wyatt was super excited to have a big boy bed to sleep in!

Wyatt couldn't wait to climb in and get comfortable

 Here is Wyatt laying in the bed listening to his bedtime story, "Good night Little Dinosaur".  Mommy reads that story to him every night and Wyatt knows it by heart.

Here is Wyatt sleeping peacefully in his new big boy bed.  He slept in the bed all night long!

WAY TO GO BIG BOY!!!

Pappy's Surprise!

After visiting the train museum we headed up to Grandma and Pappy's house where Pappy had a big surprise waiting for Wyatt!

Pappy got a cool electric train for him and Wyatt to play with and built a train table for the train to ride on.

 Wyatt was surprised to see the train go by itself.  Pappy showed Wyatt how to work the transformer so he could drive the train too.

 Here comes the train!

 SUPER COOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B&O Ellicott City

Today we took a trip to the Ellicott City B&O Railroad museum to check it out.  Wyatt had a great time looking at the train garden and going through the caboose.

Here is Daddy and Wyatt on the top of the caboose:

 Silly guys:

 Mommy and Wyatt in the caboose.

 CHOO CHOO!!!

 Family love!

 Wyatt rings the bell

 It takes a lot of muscle!!

 Baby's first telegraph, Sigh...

 Afterward we ate lunch at the Phoenix Emporium and it was yummy!!!

TAAA DAAAAA!

Tricker -Treater

After Wyatt's big Halloween party at his school Mommy and Wyatt decided it would be fun to do some extra special trick or treating! 

Here is Wyatt on his way to his first trick or treat destination.  Apparently Mommy's driving is very similar to that of the Subway:

 Our first trick or treat stop was GVA.  Mommy & Wyatt got to visit Grandma and see her in her costume. Everyone at GVA gave Wyatt some candy when he went around saying trick or treat.  He was already getting lots of goodies!

 Then Mommy and Wyatt met up with Daddy and went to our second trick or treat stop:

 Wyatt rang the door bell all by himself.

 Wyatt was excited when he saw Miss Aida at the door.  Millie gave Wyatt an extra lot of candy for his trick or treat bag!  Here is Aida and Wyatt:

 Then Mommy, Daddy and Wyatt walking the trick or treat trail to the next house:

 Wyatt couldn't wait to go into Nonna and Poppi's house to get some more yummy treats!

 Nonna and Wyatt:

 Once we got home trick or treating was already underway so Mommy ran in and got stuff to light the pumpkins and got all the candy ready to hand out.  Daddy put Sugar on the leash and Wyatt and Daddy were on their way around the neighborhood.  We had lots and lots of kids which was soooo cool to sit out on the porch and to see all their cool costumes.  It was also a great way to get to know our new neighbors.  Our next door neighbor would call the kids out when they didn't have a costume and refused to give them candy unless they at least had a mask or something.  Way to go Penny!

We were almost out of candy when Daddy and Wyatt came back to the house and Daddy and Mommy decided it would be cool to head over to the Old Farm side and to trick or treat outside our old condo. 

 Here is Daddy and Wyatt in front of our old door (above) and outside of our old condo (below)

 There was a super cool house that we had been stalking for weeks now.  It was super neat but Wyatt got a little scared.  It had people who were looking down from the windows and their garage was all decked out with ghosts and skeletons and a TV that said we're here with just a whole lot of snow.  TOO COOL.  The owner was dressed up as Edward Scissorhands.  Sugar saw one her doggy buddys who lives next door to this house and Daddy saw someone dressed up as Prince so he was pretty happy too.  We love our neighborhood!

 After we finished that side we figured it was time to go back in and to relax a little and eat some of the treats we collected throughout the day.  Mommy ordered a pizza and some breadsticks for dinner and Uncle John, Aunt Maggie and Cousin William came over to visit.  Here is William and Wyatt in their costumes;

I'd say all-in-all we did really well this year and we got to see a lot of family too which was great! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
