Cuddle Medicine

Mommy and Matty weren't feeling tip-top over the weekend.  It took some serious cuddle time to feel better.

Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a delicious Thanksgiving!

Is the turkey ready yet??

Gobble, Gobble

 Happy Thanksgiving!  Hope everyone has a very happy and yummy day planned for tomorrow.  Our turkey tried to escape today!  He was on the loose, but we finally caught up with him.  Gobble, gobble!

Eating Machine

Matty enjoys eating.  That is probably an understatement. Whenever he hears "Dinner's ready!"  or "Time for lunch!", he cheers and races for his seat at the table.  Here are some of his latest food conquests:

* Eating a whole apple off the core ("big-boy style")

* Eating the chicken skin from a roast chicken (he also ate a ton of the roast chicken)

* Clearing a plateful of chicken and dumplings (except those stupid carrots)

* Eating almost a whole can of peas (one of his favorite veggies at the moment)

* Tacos!  Mmmm.
* V-8 Juice (although to be fair, I think he just was enjoying using a big boy cup)

Can't wait to see what he eats this week!

Leaves!

Work Bee

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!  Mommy had to get her work done, so we set up Matty's "office" in the next chair.  He had his laptop and his cell phone and he was all set!

I better get working on these TPS Reports...

 Now, who is calling me??  Hmmm...

GoodBye Halloween! See you next year!

Matty's favorite part of Halloween?  The Tootsie Pops. :-)  

Pumpkin Results

The great pumpkin--collaborative effort between Brian and Ted:

More pumpkin carving

Carving pumpkins was a group effort.  After Daddy and Ted went golfing, Ted stayed to help add creative insight to the pumpkin carving.  It was a great process--every trick or treater commented on how much they loved our pumpkins!!

Pumpkins

We had a lot of fun carving pumpkins this year.  Matty had an especially good time playing with the pumpkin top....

 

Happy Halloween!

 Hope everyone enjoyed a fun Halloween!  Matty was a spooky spider this year.  He wasn't quite sure when we first started trick or treating, but he was fully on board by the second house.  He loved ringing doorbells! 

 Matty couldn't wait to eat this Tootsie Pop!  He got it from our neighbor and opened it right up and started enjoying it!
