Rocking Around The Christmas Tree

Most of you already know that Ethan loves music and dance. Since we got Rock Band he asks to play incessantly. We decided to take a few clips from our OK Go jam session last night and make Ethan’s 1st music video.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas???

The past few months have been chilly, but it looks like it's going to warm up to 80 degrees by Christmas. So, on Saturday, we dug out our swim suits that were packed away and headed to the beach.

Ethan will sit for hours digging in the sand.Daddy came over to help him build a castle. Merry Christmas From Florida!

Things that brighten my day...

This morning I walked through the living room and saw this. What can I say... it made me smile.
Luckily there is no milk in the bowl. I've been trying to get it through Ethan's head that stuffed animals don't like to get their fur wet.

You will never take..... My FRRREEDOM!!

Ethan has not been napping well lately. He has figured out that if he's quiet, he can sneak out of his bed and play (get into trouble) until Mommy catches him. This one particular day, Eric walked in to check on him and he found this.

Diaper cream "war paint".

Yesterday, after lunch I went to the computer to check my email while Ethan played. I was only gone 5 minutes, but that was enough. I guess he was still hungry because he made himself another sandwich. The honey bear in the background can give you an idea of how much honey was on this bread. It was completely full that morning.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I was so excited for this Halloween. We haven't had a single trick-or-treater in 5 years of marriage, but we are now in a neighborhood where they actually do it! Most of the people handing out candy were sitting outside enjoying the nice weather, so Ethan didn't have to knock on too many doors. He really got a kick out of saying "Chicka Cheeeet" and getting candy in his "punk". He only got scared once at a really decked out house. He wasn't put off by the decorations or music so we went up the drive way, but the vampire guy in the garage was not willing to loose the scary Transylvanian accent for a scared little dinosaur. I was a little annoyed at that. Ethan got close enough to get the candy, then he wanted out!
All in all, he had a great time and doesn't quite understand why we can't do it every night.


Time to get down to business and check out this candy.

Eric's parents came up for the weekend. Ethan loved having them here. He cried for a long time after they left.

Pumpkin Carving

Sorry, I haven't felt like blogging in a while. I guess we just haven't done anything blog worthy.

We carved our pumpkin yesterday. Ethan was a little hesitant at first to touch the seeds, but soon got over it. He helped me bake the seeds and loved watching Eric carve.

He kept eating the inside of the pumpkin lid.
