Happy Halloween!

Why I am Lacking in the Phone Department

This One is For Grandpa Pesenti

Cohorts

I believe that River is trying to MUTE me in this photo.

"Mama! Come and Eat! It's Dinner Time!"

Wren's new favorite thing to do:

Big Screen.

Wren has informed me that, should the need arise, he would be okay having his story portrayed by either of the following actors:

ABC... What?!

My Version of the ABC Song:

A.. B.. C.. D.. E.. F.. G.. ... H.. I.. J.. K.. LMNOP.. ... Q.. R.. S.. ... T.. U.. V.. ... W.. X.. ... Y and Z.

Jesse's Version of the ABC Song:

A.. B.. C.. D.. E.. F.. G.. ... H.. I.. J.. K.. LMNOP.. ... Q.. R.. S.. T.. U and V.. ... W... X... Y... Z.

I have NO idea where on earth Jesse picked up this version, but he swears by it. In fact, he thinks my version (the correct version) doesn't make any sense. Ergo, we had to come to a truce.

Our Compromise (what we're teaching Wren):

A.. B.. C.. D.. E.. F.. G.. ... H.. I.. J.. K.. LMNOP.. ... Q.. R.. S.. ... T.. U.. V.. ... W.. X.. ... Y.... Z.

We removed the 'and' all together and replaced it with a longer pause. I just hope the other children in kindergarten don't give him a hard time about it. They probably won't. In fact, they'll think he's super cool and they'll all start singing it the Wren way. I mean, if you were a little kid wouldn't you trust the cool kid that shows up to school with a leather strap around his text books... especially when all the others are sporting SpongeBob SquarePants backpacks full of crayons and glue sticks? Even in spite of what the teacher may say? Yeah, I think so too.

Hmm...

I was in Wren's room putting his clean clothes away when I heard a rustling outside his window.  I had hoped to spot some cute little birdies... and I did.  They were all along the ground.  The "bird" house revealed a big gray hiney pointed in my direction.  When I tapped on the window, the culprit revealed himself.  At least he was sharing... even if he didn't know it.  Messy squirrel.

Check the Tires.

We're taking a little road trip.

Friday the 13th.

Muah ah ah...

Be afraid.  Be very afraid.

What Are These Two Up To?

Poor Wren looks exhausted and annoyed (he is not a fan of tummy time)... and check out Daisy!  Ha ha ha... she poked her face into the frame and stuck her tongue out.  This photo cracks me up.  :)

Jesse's Snowman

Wren and I dozed off.  I awoke to find that my husband had been very busy building this cute little friend.  I added the hat and scarf for warmth.  Yes, he has a potato for a nose... looks a little ruddy.  Could be a result of the grass in his pipe?  :P
