Apple Orchard

We took the whole family to Hilcrest Orchards. It was a sunny Saturday, but very cold and windy. Wynn loved picking up the apples from the ground. He held on to an apple all day. When we got back, the girls made apple dumplings and an apple pie. They turned out delicious (even with the vanilla ice cream). The guys watched football and had drinks.

Unfortunately, Wynn did not have a festive outfit for the day. I was more concerned that he was warm. The cold blast that we had prompted me to get him a winter coat. Thanks to my sister I got an awesome coat at REI on sale.

Sorry for the all the photos. Enjoy!

Terrible Two's

To all mom's: When does the "terrible two's" start? How long does it last?

Wynn is only 16 months, but I feel like I am dealing with a terrible two year old. He definitely knows what the word NO means. However, he has been pitching fits like no other. When we left from the park the other day he had a total meltdown. I mean the screaming cry, body flailing, back arched, legs kicking, and the whole nine yards. Plus, trying to get him in the car seat was a wrestling match. He would arch his back and slide down. People probably thought I was abusing him. This is not the first time. It seems like it happens all the time. It happens when Wynn is happy doing what he wants to do, but the minute we say no or have to leave he has a major meltdown. I don't even want to go through the changing clothes and diapers. That is awful as well.

Sorry, had to ventilate. If you have tips and/or suggestions, I am all ears.
