Halloween Fun ?

So I am starting to wonder what the big deal is about this holiday. My mom bought be this monkey costume that I did not like. When she tried to make me try it on, I let her know that I did not want it on (she may say I threw a fit, but I had to get my point across). So she returned it to the store and bought me this jack 0'lantern shirt instead.

Then tonight, we didn't go out to see anybody else, because mommy said that everybody that we would go see, would be coming to our house. I got bored waiting for people to show up, so I relaxed a bit and enjoyed some of the candy that mommy bought.

Happy Halloween !

Fun with Papa & Mama

My Papa & Mama Nodland came to visit this weekend. I think Papa wanted to check out my progress on the garage.

I tried to help Daddy & Papa when they were building Daddy's new tool chest, but I think playing bubbles with Mama was more fun.

Then I wanted to go with Mommy when she went inside for a tool for Daddy, but she said "no" That made me very sad and I started to cry. Mama must have thought I was cute because she got out her camera, I asked her nicely "No, Cheese" but she didn't listen.

When I took a nap, Mommy & Mama when shopping. They came home with some fun toys. Mama bought me a Diego Rescue pack. It is pretty cool. Mama & Papa also gave me some puppy & kitty magnets for the fridge. I can't decide where they look better, the fridge or the dishwasher. I was even moving them around this morning. I think I will leave some on each one.

I sure had fun with Mama & Papa this weekend, and even those crazy puppies. I was busy counting them all weekend . . 2,9,2,9 puppies. Mommy tried to get a picture of me with the puppies, but they were always moving.

Thanks for visiting, I sure had fun. Hopefully I will get to see you one more time before I have to share you with my new baby.

Fun with my cousins

This is my second cousin, Tanner. He sure is cute. They came to visit on Saturday, along with my aunt & uncle Julie and Aaron, thier kids, my uncle Jay, & my papa Jim. Tanner was a very cute and happy baby. I tried to tickle him , but he didn't think it was as funny as I do when mommy tickles me. I liked giving him hugs, it was good practice for when my new baby comes.

PS-as you can see I have the same problem with cameras as my aunt Heather.

Road Trip

On Monday, my daycare was closed, and since Daddy was still hunting, Mommy decided that we should get out of town for the day. Luckily my mom is friends with my girlfriend Gracie's mom, so we all went to Sioux Falls together. I heard something about a trip to the zoo, but the rain must have changed our mom's mind, because we didn't go see any animals. We went to the mall and got to ride in these cool firetruck strollers.

Then we stopped by the riding toys in the mall. I rode in a car and a helicopter. Grace liked the Bob the Builder truck.

After lunch at the Olive Garden, (I don't know what the big deal is, but our mommy's sure like it) we went to one last store. Mommy wanted to look at Once Upon a Child for some stuff for me and the new baby, but I had other ideas. That place sure is fun to run around in. After Gracie and her mom were done shopping, mommy sent me to the van with them and she went back in. She came out with a swing for the baby.

Grace brought her Dora the Mermaid movie along to watch on the way back. She must have seen it already, because she fell asleep right away. I thought it was pretty exciting, but after a while I fell asleep too. Maybe she will invite me over sometime, so I can see how it ends.

Counting

I have to give my mom an "A" for effort. She has been trying to teach me to count. She tries to keep it simple, and stick with 1-5. I take it 1 step simpler and stick with 2 & 9. Yesterday when I was coloring, there was a page of sports balls. I decided to count these for my mom, and she caught it on video. I think I did a good job, I even counted them more than once, to make sure I got all of them.

Working Out

I overheard mommy & daddy saying that the baby doctor thinks this new baby is going to be pretty big. So I got to thinking, that if I am going to be any kind of big brother, I gotta build up my muscles to help carry the baby. Good thing that daddy just bought a workout machine. While he was working on the garage, I snuck downstairs and tried it out. I think it is a little too big for me.

Computer Time

I don't have much to write about tonight, but I thought I would comment on how excited we are to see everyone's blogs. I just wanted to add this picture of me and Aunt Heather. This summer she showed me how to use the computer. Well, she worked on her laptop, and I worked on my "laughtop" that Grandma bought me for my birthday.

Thanks for the fun gift Grandma, I use it everyday (when I am not using Papa's tools)

Do I gotta do everything?

As some of you, may or may not know, Mommy & Daddy are having a garage built. I think that it has taken a lot longer than it should. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I dug through my toys and found some tools that Papa Nodland has given me. I went outside and found some things that I could help with. Mommy took some pictures to show you how much I was needed. I made sure there was plenty of room for my trike and that Power Wheels that Aunt H is going to get me next summer.
