a box and a bed

An empty diaper box is so much fun! He puts it over his head and runs circles around the house, running into Adam and I. It's pretty funny to watch.


It was getting about time for Blake to move out of his crib and into a big boy bed, especially since he could climb out of it. He was pretty excited about his "race car" bed.

This is his first night, and so far so good. Fingers crossed.

Who knew those beds were so much money? Good thing for Craig's list.

foiled again

What a beautiful Saturday. We decided to take Blake and the McComb's kids with us to DC and go to the Museum of Natural History. We all got up early and found a free parking spot right on the water. We walked around the mall, seeing some of the sights.

This is starting off, when everyone was happy. They didn't stay that way after walking about 4.5 miles.

So we finally make it to the museum and it's closed because of the scene below. The street was covered in water.

Blake was trying to make the sad face. So I guess we will have to try to get there another day.

too cute!

Blake really likes to help us out, I call him my big helper. He feeds Vegas every night, helps me take out the recyclables, unpack the grocery bags.
After grocery shopping today, I made him some ravioli for lunch. While we were eating he said: "Mmmm, these are nummy-licious".
He is just too cute!

corns!

This summer when the corn started growing, Adam would point it out to Blake as they were driving. Blake ended up getting attached to the "corns" and was sad when it was cut down.
This year we took him to Bowles Farm, where they have a very big corn maze, wagon ride, barrel train, pumpkin patch and other fun things. Blake had a blast, especially since he could just RUN!

He saw the barrel train and wanted to go on it, so we put him in. As the train started to pull away and he realized he was leaving us behind, he said in this super sad voice "bye daddy" with a little bit of a pouty lip, but he didn't cry. It was the cutest thing ever. Adam and I couldn't help but to laugh. He went on it a second time and said "see you later, have fun"! We just love this kid!

They had several corn boxes. We came home with corns in our shoes and clothes and I even found a couple kernels in the wash.

flying

Blake's been wanting to fly lately.
It's pretty funny, he says "to infinity and beyond!"
