Homebound

I played hookie from music class last week so we could enjoy a nice fall day at the local farmer's market. We went to the market to look for pumpkins and cornstalks, but we quickly found out how picked over everything was. So much for waiting for a nice day! We walked around for a bit, looked at pumpkins, played with corn, and Daddy threw leaves up in the air, which I thought was hysterical. We left with 2 pumpkins, 3 Indian corn ears, and skipped the cornstalks, although Mommy tried to convince Daddy to just pull over and pick some from a cornfield. He didn't feel like going to jail=no cornstalks.

Eenie, Meenie, Miny, Mo

None of these were big enough

Here is the leaf throwing episode that I just loved! Mommy is going to store dried leaves in a bag so the next time we have a family photo shoot, she can toss these around!

Here is the only vegetable I eat, although I didn't sink my teeth into this corn on the cob!

How could they be out of cornstalk bundles??? Our confusion too!

I ended up with a full week at home because Jenny's daughter (daycare provider) had the swine flu. It was a bit of a scramble, but we made some quick adjustments and Mom and Dad were able to figure out their work schedules. Dad needed some pointers on where to take kids, so Mommy suggested the sports center. This was just perfect for us boys!

First stop, was my favorite pickup truck. I am somewhat obsessed with this truck and luckily Grandma did find it online for me and I "think" it will be a Christmas

present (yeah!)

Can't you just hear it... "MINE!"

Dad told Mommy that I was not into sharing the truck. If other kids were in the truck, I opened the door and would just sit in their laps. We are working on this.Of course, I did play with other favorites there including the castle and the tunnels. I also played in the bouncy jumper thing and laughed as I bounced all over on my knees. After two hours, we delivered lunch to Mommy at work and headed home for a nap.


Daddy really lucked out on the fun, because after my ONE hour nap (usually it is 2-3 hour) we decided to head outside to play in the wonderful, new snow.

I kept saying, "Uh Oh!" while I wondered around outside. I thought it looked like a big mess on the ground, but Daddy told me that this stuff we didn't have to pick up (better yet!)

We built a little buddy just my size in the backyard

I decided that I wanted to push the snowman down but he was too strong for me to knock over. He stayed in our yard for a few days and everytime I saw him out the window, I pointed to him while Mommy taught me to say, "snowman." I usually just growled at him and I think he got scared because he went away.We took the sled for a spin and I was happy to know I still fit into the blue rocket from last winter. I liked the sled a WHOLE lot more this time around! See last year's picture below (and look at the ridiculous outfit I am wearing... no wonder I am screaming!) I can't wait to have more snow so that we can head down some golf course hills!

Liberty also had fun jumping around in the snow and she likes to eat the white stuff too. Daddy warned me already about eating snow, especially the yellow kind.


This is what I looked like after a morning at the sports center and an afternoon in the snow. Mommy was happy that we stayed busy and had fun. I even slept until 7:30 the next morning!
On Saturday, we headed to the cities for Auntie's birthday and we had a little party for her. We gave her a few cute gifts and she always loves the "auntie" cards I give her.
Cousin Lexi showing me a funny music card from Uncle Jimmy. I loved this musical card and even danced to it! Of course, Lexi wanted to get a picture together and here we are (me holding on for dear life!)
I am really excited for the week ahead. We have a fall festival at Mommy's school, a neighborhood get together, a music/Halloween party, and more fun events for Halloween. Here is a sneak peek at my costume from Monday night's music/Halloween party!

Hot Dog!
