Sticker Fun

Some kids put stickers on paper. Or walls. Not ours.

He's surprisingly good at lining them up on his face!

Done with the photos. Can you tell?

Snow!

Total snowfall as of noon.

James running through the snow.

Stopping to say "cheese".

It's hard to get a candid shot - he'd stop and "cheese" every time I lifted the camera!

Yet more smiling.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving gave us a chance to spend time with the Garn family. James and Nathan hit it off immediately.

Here they are showing off their turkey hats.

Cousins don't shake hands, cousins gotta HUG! (my apologies to "Tommy Boy")

James also learned a very important skill from his cousin - how to hang a spoon off his nose. The dinner table rule became "your nose, your spoon." Never a quiet moment with boys!

Fortress

I lost a laundry basket.

He gained a fort.

Trick Arrrrr Treat

Arrr! Prepare to walk the plank!

Diego and the Scurvy Dog. Preparing for Halloween loot!

Evan, the cutest little sea turtle ever!

The family setting out for the candy journey.

Licking his lips in anticipation of his bucket of candy!

Great Orange Gobs

Of Greasy Slimy Pumpkin Guts!

We carved a pumpkin tonight.

The start of the process. He's smiling, not rabid.

He made an attempt to clean the guts out. Then started dry heaving.

I asked him to draw a face.

The finished product.

All lit up!

Boy in a Box

We have a store worth of toys in this house. What does he love? An old cardboard box. He sat in in and pretended he was on a ship, it was a trailer, and he was mowing the yard. Then pulled the bottom open and it became a tunnel. He really has an imagination!
