Halloween 2011

Ready to "Twick or Tweet!"

(he's an Angry Bird, get it??)

... actually I just thought of that now.  But that's how he said it.

Such a big boy!  Going to the door all by himself.  The doorbell was ALMOST out of reach but he managed to get it every time!!

And a "Twick or Tweet and Thank you!" every time!

Daddy even skipped Monday Night Football. 

We're pretty committed to Halloween around here.

Days at the park

We loaded up the tricycle to head to the park for a ride but we stopped at the high school to practice driving in straight lines.  (He did great!)

We might be in some trouble... Peyton and I took the walking trail (which also allows bicycle and tricycles) at Mitch Park and found the skate park.  He thought it was the coolest thing he ever saw!!!

I don't know how I managed to get a picture with one person in it.  There were about 20 people at the park that day. 

More watching the skaters and bikers.

Back at the "Play Park"

We also visited the Skate Park and the Exercise Park that day

Still lots of exercising at the play park!

Comparing our feet and toes while watching Bubble Guppies.  We decided he has long toes.

A Weekend in Amarillo

Saturday morning Peyton and I got up early and drove to Amarillo to see Mae Mae and Gamy and Aunt Lynn and Aunt Janice and Aunt Ginny and... thats where I stopped listing people for Peyton because even I got confused about who we were seeing after that.  Lets just say we went to see most of my mom's side of the family (minus several cousins). 

And there were a lot of pictures taken.  On mom's camera.  So this is my one picture from the weekend.  I think its a pretty good one, though.  I'll have to wait until I get the pictures from mom's camera to add to this trip blog.  

It was a short trip but we had a really good time.

Painting Pumpkins with Girls

 Friday night Peyton and I went to the mall to play with twin girls that Kristine babysits. They had THE BEST time! Then, after we got them good and hyper, we took them to Target to buy pumpkins to paint. If I ever needed confirmation that I am a one-child parent... that was it. I felt like we had children literally hanging off of us. And we kind of did. Three 4-yr olds and three pumpkins don't fit inside a Target shopping cart.  And six hands can reach A LOT of impulse-buy-toys in the check out line.  Just saying.

On the other hand, just look at those little shoes lined up on the arm of the recliner...

So we got the kids and pumpkins to our house and got to work painting.  Everyone thought that was fun.

He said it was a picture of his mommy...

Maybe I'm biased but I think its very pretty!  :)

Peyton LOVES his new turtle!!

He may drive me absolutely crazy but he sure is cute!
