Nighty night

I love my new big boy bed! It's big and (yawn) comfy and it has... (yawn) train sheets on it and zzzzzzzzzz...

Hitched

Yesterday, one of the girls in Liam's class told him that he is "the color in [her] paintbrush." He told her that she's his peanut butter. Then they got pretend married.

My mom rocks!

Bob's Trees Santa

We went to Bob's Trees in West Galway over the weekend to pick put out a Christmas Tree. G'ma and 'Pa met us there and we got a good one. Dad tied it to the roof of the car and we brought it home and decorated it! But wait, I almost forgot, while we were there, I got to see some real reindeer and Santa! I told him what I wanted for Christmas and promised to be a very good boy. Dad says he thinks my fingers were crossed under my mittens.

I ran into Santa Claus again in the
Christmas Tree lot and he stopped
to take a photo with me.

He sees you when you're sleeping...

Liam says: "Santa can't watch over me. He doesn't have eye powers!"

Oh boy.

School photo time

Say cheese!

Artist of the Week

I was selected as Artist of the Week at school. I drew a picture of a school bus full of kids for the section "In My Community."

Lego Supermarket

I busted out my Lego Duplo blocks the other day and built a supermarket with Dad. It had a produce section, seafood counter, bakery and florist. The penguin stopped by for fish and the giraffe for some flowers. Mr. Elephant perused all areas before deciding on a nice cake. And the polar bear family showed up, too, but they only needed to use the bathroom.

Thanksgiving

Me, Mom, Dad, G'ma 'n 'Pa, Uncle Spike, Aunt Stacey and cousin Sophia (and Mylo the dog) all went to Grandma and Grandpa M's house in Kingston for Thanksgiving. Spike fried a turkey out in the back yard and it tasted really good. I was happy that I got to play with Sophia and with all the toys and games that belonged to my Dad and his brothers. We did puzzles and played games like Trouble, Connect Four and Stay Alive. Then Grandma taught me how to play Chinese Checkers and Dominoes. Oh, and of course, I played with all of Dad's old Star Wars figures and toys.

A walk in the woods

Gator pop!

Mom went to a conference in New Orleans for work, and when she came back, she brought me a chocolate alligator lollipop! And some Mardi Gras beads - but did I mention the alligator lollipop?

Apples and candy buttons

On a recent trip to Lakeside farms. Mom and Dad told me that if I was a good boy, I could have a treat. Dad brought me out to the apple barn, where I picked out a few tasty-looking apples. He told me they were honeycrisp apples, his favorite. And I gotta say, they might be my favorite now, too. But then I realized something - apples are good and all, but when I hear the word treat, I'm not thinking about something natural, healthy and good for me. I'm thinking about candy. Luckily, Mom and I were on the same page, and walked away with a fun sugary treat - candy buttons! At first I wasn't so sure about the fact that sometimes the paper remained stuck to the candy, but Dad told me it was fiber and would be okay in small quantities. Dad took a photo of me holding my empty candy button sheet. Those little buttons didn't stand a chance. Here's to honeycrisp apples and candy buttons!
