I have looked everywhere for cute ties for little boys and just can't find them. I have been to every store and I have gone to the end of the internet and back. When I do come across something decent it is ridiculously expensive. Evan loves wearing ties to church just like daddy. I'll tell him that we need to get ready for church and he will run into his room and bring me out his tie. When we put it on he'll hold still until I'm done then he'll run over to Paul and puff out his chest and say "tie!, tie!, tie!" till Paul says something like "oh wow what a nice tie buddy". We bought him a white shirt and tie combo for Easter in spring colors but he has since out grown them and the colors don't work for fall so the tie hunt began. I finally asked a friend of mine where she got her son's ties because he always has on the cutest ties and one for every season and holiday. She told me that her mother-in-law made them. I had never thought of making ties for Evan before because it seemed like it would be a lot of work. After some searching, however I found this great tie tutorial and pattern. They are so easy to make and they whip up so fast, I think I can make tie from start to finish in about 2 hours.

Down on the farm
Not far from here is a fun little farm that lets the public come and roam around free. Evan and I have gone a few times this summer to see the animals. In the spring we saw baby chickens and baby sheep and goats. This time we got to see baby cows and baby pigs too.
We have a great time and Evan loves to see all the different animals and make all the different farm animal noises.
By the picnic area they have small tractors for the kids to play on. Evan loves them and it is hard for me to get him off when it is time to go.

"bye, bye truck" he'll say as we leave.
