Football, Part Deux

A couple weeks ago we blogged about the Stinker wanting to play football all the time.  It really wears me out with all the falling and getting back up.  Doesn't he know I'm getting too old for this.  I only have limited stores of athletics left.  They have to last me for the whole year and I try to save as much of them as possible for summer softball.

Anyway, here is a video of Australian Booger rules football.



Speaking of football, this is hilarious.

Snow?!?

It snowed today (thanks to Hurricane Sandy)! The little stinker yelled out "BRRRRRR!!!!! IT'S COLD!!!!" when we left the house this morning. Anyway, here he is posing in front of the snow that I decided to photograph from the warmth and safety of the kitchen.

Goodbye Baseball Season

Here's a picture of the little dude eating his birthday cupcake:

Anyway, tonight he was sort of singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." His lyrics were, um, perhaps an improvement?

Take me out to the park,

Take me out to the ballgame,

Buy me some crackers and applejacks!

At that point, we dissolved into laughter and missed the rest of his song. Crackers and applejacks? What a nut!

Cake Pops!

I had a fit of craftiness and made jack-o-lantern cake pops for the little booger's birthday (with a lot of help from my very patient mother-in-law). Thankfully, they were delicious! After seeing us scarf them down for two days now, the little dude asked for a cake pop instead of a cupcake after dinner tonight.

This kid cracks me up!

He's Three!!

It's hard to believe that it's been three whole years since this little guy joined our family...

Time flies when you're having fun-- and it's been a fun three years. Happy birthday!

A Good Night!

Two awesome things happened tonight.

1. The little guy got cake after finishing his spaghetti. Look at that intensity (and those fork skills!).

2. After dinner, we were "Boo'd" by an anonymous neighbor. The doorbell rang and the only thing there were some spooktacular Halloween goodies! We'll pass the Boo on to two more neighbors tomorrow.

Life doesn't get much better than cake, fruit snacks, and a glowing green pumpkin!

Drawing with Chalk

It was really nice outside this evening, so we went outside and drew with chalk. His drawings are so much more intentional now-- not just random scribbling. Tonight, he drew a big ol' truck. Here's the back end of the trailer:

Then he borrowed the camera and took this artsy shot of his chalk bucket:

He kept asking us to draw a fire drill. We asked him what that looked like and he said "lights and people crying." I guess that's what fire drills are like at daycare! Hilarious! Eric did his best (with Beau's help) to draw a flashing alarm and a crying person.
