On Sunday, we danced the dance of joy. (No, actually, we didn't. We've been putting off paci weaning for awhile, but then Will started chewing through the pacifier tips. Like, chewing big holes in them. We were afraid he'd bite through them in his sleep and choke. So on Sunday, Will sent his pacifiers to go live with the Paci Fairy and the Paci Fairy left him a little Woody (from Toy Story) in exchange. When Will realized that the Paci Fairy wasn't going to let him borrow his pacifiers at bedtime, he pretty much lost it. Sunday was his first night without a pacifier and everyone was miserable. The end.)
On Monday, Evie berated us for our lack of pictures on Sunday.
Then she laughed at us.
Monday, our first naptime without pacifiers, was a rough day. We took no other pictures because frankly, you don't want to see what Will looked like on Monday. (You don't want to see what Will's parents looked like on Monday either.)
On Tuesday, we spent a lot of time resenting the toy Woody. Will offered to give him back to the Paci Fairy if he could get his pacifiers back. That mean old Paci Fairy doesn't do takesies backsies though. What a jerk.
On Wednesday, Evie practiced eating her fist.
No one told us that stealing Will's pacifiers would make him blurry.
Grandma Gail arrived late on Wednesday night. Hooray! This is her first time seeing the new, larger-sized version of Evie.
On Thursday, Will spent some time with his grandma. And a box.
On Friday, Will went to gym class with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Bill (who arrived late Thursday night). We took no pictures on Friday, so here are some pictures we stole from Grandpa Bill.
Evie was all, "Gym class? I don't need your stupid gym class. Whatever. I'll just hang out here by myself in my awesome swing."
On Saturday, we went up to the Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center to get some pumpkins. We thought it would be a quaint little pumpkin patch out in the middle of nowhere. When we rounded the bend on the windy little road the farm is on, BAM. At least 1,000 cars in their parking lot. Yeah. That's okay though, it was an actual pumpkin patch with things growing on vines, unlike most of the other pumpkin patches around San Diego.
Will liked the giant pumpkins.
"So, can we get this one?"
"Or maybe this one?"
He settled for normal-sized ones.
Evie thought the whole thing was pretty boring.
Note: it's really hard to get a 2-year-old to look at a camera when you want him to.
This is kind of how I felt about the petting zoo too.
After the crazy pumpkin patch we headed up to Grandma Jo's, where we chatted and watched the Huskies beat OSU in double overtime WOOO. Also, Will worked on the animal train puzzle with Grandma Gail.
