Happy Halloween!

Our little football player takes the handoff.

Sporting his handmade hat and UW colors, he prepares for a brief trick-or-treating excursion.

After a brief ride on dad's shoulders, we discovered our friends weren't home.

No candy on Halloween!

That Time of Year

Anyone who knows me knows that I blow my nose a fair amount. Apparently, that is one of those things that is fun to copy.

Cutie Pie Thursday: Obi-Wan Bearnobi

I really wanted to get Lincoln some sort of doll/toy with clothes and what-not, so yesterday we ended up at Build a Bear creating Obi-Wan Bearnobi. Lincoln seems to like him quite well, and we have been working on our lightsaber noises. The best part for Lincoln is that when you squeeze his paw, you hear the Star Wars theme. Also, I must state that he posed himself for all the pictures here!

Cutie Pie Thursday: Helping Dad

My two guys have been getting the yard ready for fall. Thanks guys!

Fantasy Campaign Ad #2

Do you, like me, wonder what Gandalf the Grey is smoking?

He's come out against valuable and historical resources.

Just like all those people who complained about swords and arrows, he's against something that will help our country finally defeat the enemy.

He could even help us control this resource!

But what does he want to do? He wants to destroy it! To throw it into the flaming pits of Mt. Doom!

Maybe someone's been smoking the peace pipe a little too much.

Voice of Mr. Darcy: My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost is lost forever.

Voice of Announcer: Don't we all want a senator with an open mind? Mr. Darcy has admitted he is prejudiced, and the last thing we need is another prejudiced member of Congress. It's time we tell Mr. Darcy that he has lost our good opinion forever. Vote Wickham this year.

Paid by the Campaign to find Wickham an easy and enjoyable job at the public expense.

Just For Fun: One Year Ago

I had to get that horrible picture off the top of the blog, so here is a shot of the wee boy from one year ago, pre-sitting up on his own. Wow, they grow super fast!

Cutie Pie Thursday: A Bad Photograph

It seems my wee boy has a father who likes to take pictures of people eating just like me. Grandfather Cool was just taking pictures of people eating this weekend! This picture proves that even the cutest boy around doesn't look so cute when photographed while eating!

Cutie Pie Thursday: Splashdown

At first, he was a bit tentative about the water.

Then he discovered the fountains and slides.

He began to be a bit braver.

He continued to enjoy the fountains the very best.

At the end, he didn't want to leave!
