"I'm Gonna Eat Ya!"

Fall Leaves 2010

One evening last week, the family went outside and made the first leaf pile of the season for the kids to play in. Lily had a blast playing in the big pile and Henry thought it was fun to sit in his little pile. He also thought it was fun to eat the leaves. He swallowed one, gagged on it for a bit and then vomited all over himself and Katie. You know it's been a fun evening when two people end up covered in vomit. Yuck.

Lily wanted to jump in the leaves, but decided she needed to get a big running start.



Henry thought it was fun to just sit in his little pile of leaves.



Here's the album of pictures, but I feel like I should warn you that a lot of them look the same. Ha.

Fall Leaves 2010

10 Months

Time is flying.
My girl person was pretty excited that she got this picture on the first try.

Good-bye

Every morning when Baldy leaves for work, Lily grabs her American flag, waves it at the window and cheers "Go, daddy, go!" when she sees his car go down the street. It's quite the send off.

Nickname

Lily has started calling me "Normy". I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Whatever It Takes

Our satellite provider is currently having a dispute with Fox and has chosen to not show any Fox related channels until whatever they're arguing about (money, I assume) is settled. That means no FX and no Fox Sports Midwest, along with some other channels. This is a huge bummer for my people and I because we weren't able to get the Mizzou/Colorado game on TV this past Saturday...or were we? Take a look at what we had to resort to.

Pretty sad, huh? Or maybe ingenious? Baldy found the game streaming on some website, hooked the laptop up to the TV and we watched it on that awesome picture that fits our 46" screen so nicely. The upside is that we got to see the game, the downside, well you see the picture, right? No worries now though. My people have switched providers and are all set to watch the Mizzou/Texas A&M game this Saturday. Go Tigers!

Princesses on Ice

A couple of weeks ago, the grandmas, Katie and Lily went to see Disney Princesses on Ice. Lily loved it. She had been obsessed with "Sweeping Booty" for a while, then it was Snow White and ever since the show it's been Cinderella. She still likes to wear her Snow White dress around the house, but I'm guessing that'll change once Halloween rolls around and she can wear her Cinderella dress.
