Hedgehogs...

Tomorrow is Buddy's sixth birthday! We are so excited! Buddy announced that it was his most favorite day, then he proceeded to ask me if I enjoyed birthing him? Hmmm, still debating if that was a loaded question. Anyway, after his two week stint of television overload while he had meningitis, and his introduction to Sonic, we are now embarking on the best Sonic the Hedgehog Birthday Party ever!!! At least I hope so, that and we're hoping the weather is good tomorrow or I'm going to have a very stuffed house of little people! So here is a sampling of our super coolness...

Our tattoos, Buddy has now put off washing his hands until after his party (unfortunately I'm not kidding)!

Some fantastic gift bags, seriously, how cool are we? Sonic himself is giving us a thumbs up (or is that a thumbs sideways?)

Of course the day before your Sonic birthday you need to have a Sonic sleep over to get you in the mood...

So all in all a super fantastic, I'd have a million hematomas if it meant I got this in the end, day!

Gypsy Life...

The last few days Buddy and I have shamelessly used our family connections to hang out with seven of the coolest kids I know. The fact that they make you wear a head wrap and fortune tell at their makeshift carnival is only a bonus!
All in all a super fantastic, only 5 more days until someone has a Sonic Birthday, day!

Ghost Train...

You may enter the ghost train with a smile on your face...

But, be afraid...
Especially of that creepy guy in the red hat...

Remember, we warned you....

All in all a super fantastic family day!

Male model....

Recently we took our family photos while the weather was still slightly goodish (if you count gale force winds good). We used OpieFoto and we love her, I think Buddy may have a crush, if not with her, than possibly the camera...







Is it just me or does this boy have some personality? Either way, I think I've got something special on this end of the bargain. Just wait till you see the Christmas edition of our pictures (yes, I already took my Christmas photos, and yes, I have already finished my Christmas shopping, but don't worry, my parents already hid the stash from me because of my tendency to spoil everyone surprises early). Maybe I'm turning over a new leaf? Ahhh, probably not, my parents just decided to do an intervention (possibly 38 years too late, but who's counting?)
All in all a very super fantastic, going to ride the ghost train tonight, day!

All I want for Christmas....

Buddy's second tooth popped out!

Someone is growing up fast, and losing his teeth faster than you can whistle along with Alvin, Simon and Theodore. At this rate we'll have a gummy old man in two weeks(maybe we should bring the skullet back)hmmm, hope he likes his birthday cake pureed!
So all in all a super fantastic, tooth falling day!

Double standard....

Today while we were carving pumpkins, Shane and Buddy thought digging out the pumpkin guts was gross, so that task was delegated to me. Somehow, they didn't think this...

was gross at all, and definitely not when you're doing a little of this...

Don't miss the grass Buddy taped on the porch so you would think the pumpkins were sitting in a field, it fooled you didn't it?
All in all a super fantastic, tricky kind of day!

Child-rearing practices...

We have a rule at our house, eat all your fruits and vegetables, no matter how prickly they are!
All in all a super fantastic, eating right, day!
