Part Three of " I haven't blogged in forever so here are some photos from the past few months"

Hangin' out with Tigger.


Waiting in line for her first time on Splash Mountain. She has never wanted to ride it before because she was afraid she would get "soaked".


She and Space Ranger got a bit wet but not enough for her to say she didn't like it.



Right before the above picture was taken, Sweetie was hit in the nose by Punkin. This is not a happy face.

For Halloween this year, Sweetie wanted to be Tinker Bell. A few days later, she was playing with her dress up clothes and we put a vest on Punkin so he could dress up, too. He kept it on for almost an hour. I thought, "Great! This is his Halloween costume." When I said it out loud, Sweetie decided she wanted to match so she became a cowgirl. The only item I had to buy for her costume was her vest - she had everything else, even the boots.



Punkin had everything but the hat. The dollar store is a great place for costume pieces.



We went to a Harvest carnival at school and then to a friend's church in the evening for Trunk or Treat.



Before we left for the festivities, I tried to take a picture of the 2 of them by the pumpkins.

Take 1 - Um, no.


Take 2 - Um, no again but this time with Space Ranger in the picture, too, saying "No, leave the hat ON!"


Take 3 - It will have to do.

Hangin' out at the zoo.



This is just for you, Grandma!

The last time we lived here, Sweetie was fascinated with the Reptile House. My mom does NOT like snakes but Sweetie thought they were the best thing in whole world (or at least in the whole zoo) so each visit to the zoo had to include the Reptile House. Sweetie has now introduced Punkin to the Reptile House. Aren't you excited, Mom?

Haircut

I've always cut Punkin's hair. I didn't necessarily always do a good job but it was fine after a few touchups. He is getting to the age where he won't sit still long enough for me to cut it (I guess I'm a slow cutter). His hair has been getting so long. It got to the point where when I tried to comb it, he would cry and hit my hand away. Okay time for someone else who is much faster to cut it off.

After


Don't worry, Grandma and Grandpa, it will grow back. It usually does.

Results

Me - "How was the treehouse last night?"

Sweetie - "Great!! I made my bed already."

Success!

Treehouse

Well, it finally happened - the moment that she has been waiting for....

Sorting the pieces with Space Ranger and Punkin.


Punkin doing all he can to get in the way, I mean, help. Off to bed with you, Mister.


Assembling and assembling and assembling and...
(you did see all of those pieces stacked against the wall and on the floor, right?)


Ooooooo! It is starting to look like one.


Ta dah! Well, almost a Ta dah! The box was missing a ladder piece so we could not completely assemble it. She was very sad about not sleeping in the top bunk but how would she get down in the middle of the night? Not very safe. She and Space Ranger went back to the store to get the piece but they didn't have any more in stock to give them. The service reps offered to send it to us when it was in stock again. Wasn't that nice of them?


TA DAH! Truly! Here it is all assembled and ready for sleep! We'll let you know how her night was sleeping in the "treehouse".


Now Sweetie will be all ready for our guests. No more mattresses or sleeping bags on the floor.

Lunchtime Adventures

It was time for lunch today and Punkin and I were in the dining room. I moved my computer to the middle of the dining room table to keep it away from little hands and to make room for the lunch plates. I walked to the kitchen, got a hot dog from the refrigerator, put it on a plate, put it in the microwave and walked back to the dining room. All of this has taken me about a minute - from the time I left the dining room to the time I returned. When I returned, I find that Punkin is STANDING on a dining room chair, playing with my computer. EEKK!! When did he learn to do that??
