Racing

Lee races EVERYWHERE.

I often hear, "Mama, count to 31!" and then I have to start counting to see if he can get to his destination (or finish a task) before I get to 31 (31 is his favorite number request).

He has picked up on Jessalyn's declaration of not being the "rotten egg." Somehow, though, a bit has been lost in translation.

Lee's version: "Last one there is a rockin' egg! I'm it! I'm a rockin' egg!"

Halloween Part 1

Halloween has officially begun! Here's the rundown of our day:

Lee's school held a mini fall festival for them. He was so excited to see me there to help. Everyone had a great time playing games and collecting prizes.

This afternoon was our town's "Merchant Trick-or-Treating," so we got all dressed up and went from store to store collecting goodies.

Lee as a giraffe. This was my first year making costumes from scratch, and I was pleased with how they turned out (and so were the kids!). :)

The high school held a mini carnival this afternoon, so that was our next stop.

Banana Toss

Peanut Toss

Football toss

And a fun time was had by all. This was a great warm up for the weekend!

When I Grow Up…(part 2)

Today's statement is a follow up to a previous comment on aspirations to be a circle:

Lee: "After I'm done being a blue circle, I'm going to be a purple triangle."
