Danny The Fashionista

Danny has some VERY STRONG opinions about what he wears on a daily basis. He has a strong preference for wearing anything green, his rainboots, and a bike helmet at all times. Here are a few of his ensembles over the past couple of weeks . . .

My Little Daredevil!

Cameron learned to ride his bike on Saturday and then promptly asked us to build him a ramp. On Sunday, he asked how Travis Pastrana makes his bike flip over - as if we haven't been to the ER enough during his short life thus far!!

My Kind of Runner!

Danny ran his first race yesterday! Cameron ran a St. Patrick's Day race last year (his first) and this year, Danny wanted to be just like his big brother. I might be biased but, it was the cutest thing that I have seen in a long time! Danny came in dead last (in the middle picture above you can see the volunteers picking up the cones behind him); the race officials were packing up the finish line when I heard someone shout "Oh, here comes another one!" To his credit though, despite having the shortest legs of all the runners, he ran the whole 1/2 mile, smiled the entire way, and cheered on his big brothers and friends way ahead of him on the out and back course. That's my kind of runner!

Brotherly Love

Can you guess that this ended in a tackle?

Happy Thanksgiving From Two Turkeys

Really, a turkey and a Native American but I just couldn't resist!

Happy Halloween

We got a treat for Halloween . . . Grammy came to visit!

Pumpkins Everywhere

We LOVE fall at our house. The leaves are gorgeous, the boys love to carve pumpkins, and for Dennis, our Christmas fanatic, it means the start of Christmas season. If you think I'm kidding, I guarantee that he is already listening to Christmas music in his car. After years of experience, I have learned to put a moratorium on Christmas music in my car before Halloween or after the first week of January.

We are very lucky to live just a few miles from a couple of nice pumpkin farms.



One of the pumpkin patches makes frozen custard and Cameron asked that they both have some with "chocolate smudge." Apparently, Danny knew what he was talking about!



Danny's goal was to find a "yittle punkin" (little pumpkin) so he walked around saying "yittle punpkin where are you?" I don't think this one was it!



Cameron begged for this one and, while it was cool, I didn't think that bringing mold into the house was a great plan.
