The chickenman cometh


Happy Halloween! I bribed him with that sucker to put the chicken suit on. He ended up liking it after awhile.



And you may be a cute little chicken, but you still have to help your mama take out the trash. I don't think we're going to go trick or treating. We'll go next year. INSTEAD, I'm going to play with my new iRobot Scooba that is a floor vacuuming, mopping, and drying robot. REALLY! A mopping robot! I'll keep you updated on how he performs.

Bawck bawk! E

Here's Ethan's school class. Its so funny to me how a buncha not two year olds can "line up" and head off to the cafeteria and SIT in little chairs and wait for food. They all just sit there and wait. Its amazing.

Ethan's buddies (and whom we name all Little People figurines after... Olivia, Brecken, Hannah, Ally, Jaiden....


And the be all end all.... Alex Meyers "Adix Myders!" is not only Ethan's birthday buddy (her mother and I were fighting over epidurals that day...), but I caught them the other day in the lunch room lifting up their shirts and touching nekid bellies.

I hope they stay friends for a very long time. I'll post pure chicken pics next.

I have a brand new favorite picture of all time! I'm sure it will get trumped one of these days, but for now... this is as good as it gets. Click on it so it gets big... its even better then.



And we just think he hasn't grown... these are only 9 months apart... one at the end of January, one last night. Weird.

He got a flu shot today, hence the burger face and the balloon. He didn't see it coming. We moved on quickly and we're not talking about it.

Shaun will be home this weekend. YEEEAAAAHHH. If I haven't harped on it before, if anyone knows a single mother, GO. RIGHT. NOW. AND. HELP. HER!
My kitchen is so dirty, E

I don't have any pictures to post because my camera is JANK! but.. this is the stuff I'll forget someday if I don't write it down.
So we were in the kitchen, Ethan was fixing himself a salad (I always think he's saying "excited" and then I figure out that he's asking for salad...), and keep in mind that him fixing a salad means ripping up lettuce in a bowl for me to pour some ranch on, but anyway...

Me: Ooh! There's a fly!
Him: Get it mama!
Me: Get what?
Him: Fly Hammer get it mama!

THen he went and got the fly swatter. BRILLIANT!
Now I won't forget.
And... I did find this cute picture of 1.5 razorback fans at the tailgate last weekend. There were swarms of big kids playing football around. Ethan kept grabbing his football and walking straight into the swarm and just standing there... waiting for someone to throw it to him. He wanted so badly to be big.
Later, E

It's stay-at-home Friday, so we're trying out big-boy undies. I'm not sayin' this is the be all end all, we're just givin' it a try.
Ethan the copy-cat has come up with some new phrases... "hamburger ketchup only", "that'll do it", and "oh my! poo poo everywhere!" are my new favorites. He also thinks that anything in a silver can is "diiiiet coke!" This is our green light for clean language zone in our house, as somebody. is. listening!
Have a great weekend! :) E

Haircuts, Lollipops, and Pumpkin Painting

We finally took the boy to get his hair cut, and he was given a lollipop while sitting in the chair. He looked at me after 3-4 licks and said "Mama! I like leo-pops!" He asked for one for the road and enjoyed that one too.

Arguably matured from his new coiffer, we destroyed the driveway with paint. It's like the Easter Bunny came to give Halloween a kiss.

With love,
your dutiful blogger
