Uh Oh

Oh no!  
Apparently, I've reached the maximum capacity that Blogger will allow me :( 
They won't let me upload any more photos. 
Gotta figure out what to do.....I'll be back soon!

Country vs Eddie Vedder?

So, around here, we often have Pandora going on our computer, and when I'm home, it's more often than not on a country music station (my favs lately - Luke Bryan Radio or Florida Georgia Line Radio) or Radio for Kids.  With all this country music going on, Henry has become quite the fan (not joking at all - he totally recognizes "our" favorite songs when we're in the car too).  I hear "more country, Mommy" all the time!  Well, I worked at the hospital last weekend, and therefore Eddie Vedder was apparently rockin' our computer as now I hear "more Eddie Vedder, Mommy" with a grin on his face!  

It's official - we've now switched to Christmas music - just couldn't wait any longer!  Baby It's Cold Outside Radio - love it!  So, obviously now I'm hearing "more Christmas music, Mommy" or "sing Jingle Bells, Mommy.....louder!"

Speaking of the wonderful world wide web, you have to check out the Reindeer Cam - it is SO much fun!  You can watch Santa's reindeer 24/7 (Mr. and Mrs. Stix - Mr. Stix is the one without any antlers, as he lost them last week - I learned that males tend to lose their antlers before Christmas), but the best part is when you get to see Santa, his black puppy, and his Elf feed the reindeer (this occurs at 10am, 5pm, and 8pm Central).  Henry is a BIG fan.  When I asked Henry what he thought Santa was going to feed his reindeer, Henry said "hotdogs and hamaburs."  Well, of course, what was I thinking?!

What a blur!

Henry and his buddy, Harrison, sure tired each other out this morning at Adventure Park!  Whenever we visit Adventure Park, Henry is in non-stop GO mode, which lasts about an hour - then he's usually sweating, red-cheeked, starving, and exhausted - at which time we head home, he eats like a chow hound, and takes a nice nap.  This time around was no different, as you can see by the blur below :)

See ya next year!

Henry just finished up his Fall session of Storytime at the library.  On Tuesdays we go to the "biiiiig" library and see Ms. Mary (as you can see, she's gettin' her groove on below) and on Thursdays, Henry and Oma head to the "liiiitle" library to see Ms. Karen.  "Ms. Karen sooooo nice, Ms. Karen a good dancer, Oma a good dancer, I a good dancer!" per Henry's report on Thursday evenings.  We won't start another Storytime session until January, aka next year!

Most Tuesdays, Ms. Mary ends with a little song & dance, Henry's fav is "Driving in my car, by Ralph's World."  Check it out, it's a good one!

"I pick out my own bana"

  Every morning, Henry runs out in the kitchen and says "I pick out my own bana" when we're about to have breakfast, and yep, kinda like the undies dilemma, this isn't always the quickest process!

Who needs the new iPhone when a banana phone gets wonderful reception from MN to Switzerland, right?

baby Owen funny

We had a fun play-date with baby Owen (sorry Lisa, Henry and I just can't drop the "baby" for some reason), playing trains at Choo Choo Bob's and then treats at the coffee shop next door!  Not sure which one of these crazy boys told the joke, but it must have been funny.....really funny!  They were giggling back and forth and back and forth for quite a while.  Those two little gigglers - they sure made us giggle too :)  The whole way home all I heard from Henry was, "baby Owen funny."

Election Day 2012

Henry made sure to cast his vote early this morning :) 

Looks like he voted for the green crayon when coloring this teddy bear!

BK

Who knew, 25 or so years after I enjoyed them, Burger King still had the crowns for kiddos to wear?!  Henry's request for dinner the other night was "hamabur, fa-fies, keper, and mutard (ketchup and mustard)," so off to BK we went.  Phil was wondering, at what age will Henry become a neater eater?  


Another photo from the weekend.....
.....working so hard on his Thanksgiving napkin holder at Home Depot on Saturday.  He was a little disappointed there was no hammer on the table when he got there (only wood glue and a screw driver), but of course he managed to sneak in some hammering with his screw driver!

Halloween, a day in review

I don't know if I've ever seen Henry as giddy as he was on Halloween!  The boy was having an absolute blast!  He couldn't stop practicing "trick-or-treat please, I get candy, I say thank you" all day long.  
First things first, you gotta make yourself a spooky breakfast.

Ghostly pancakes with "sauce" aka syrup (filled with orange and black sprinkles that you can't see here)

Our activity for the morning - church playgroup (or church playground as Henry calls it), complete with a Halloween parade.

The kiddos decorated their treat bags, and obviously he couldn't wait 'til we got home, had to dig in as soon as we got in the car.

Spider snacks, how scary :)

"I go trick-or-treat at Oma's, I get candy, I get present, I say thank you Oma."  That Oma really upped the ante for Henry's trick-or-treating later in the evening, as he then thought everybody was going to give him a trick-or-treat present.

He seriously couldn't jump in and out of his wagon fast enough to get up to the doors.  We went to 5 of our favorite neighbors' homes and then headed home to hand out candy, which was by far his favorite part of the night.  He was 'Mr. Generous' with his fist-fulls of candy, therefore we ended up turning off the outside lights a bit earlier than usual because we ran out of candy.  He LOVED making sure every kid got their candy, except the big kids dressed in football pads were a little scary - "daddy do it."

Henry's neighbor boys - Brandon and Tyler

Ari, Diya (the love of his life), and Rohit

Ari and Henry were really inspecting the candy dish here, making sure each piece was ok to hand out.

Last but not least, my favorite jack-o-lantern pizza, and boy it was tasting extra yummy for some reason!

Thursday morning, Henry woke up and grabbed his Halloween basket, dumped it out, and said "I go trick-or-treating!"  Oh, what fun we had!
