Lizard?

I took JP swimming today at the gym and when we were finished he announced that he was HUNGRY so I thought I'd get him some ice cream at Dairy Queen. He LOVES oreo so I thought a blizzard would be a nice treat. I ordered his Oreo Blizzard and heard this:

"MOM! I want oreo ice cream! Not an oreo lizard!!! George died... remember?"

I had to explain that I ordered a BLIZZARD, not a LIZARD. LOL!!!!!

The Leaf Pile

Sorry I've been slacking in the blog dept but I've been super busy with work/travel. So.. here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. JP had a ball playing in the leaves yesterday.

Scary boy in the willow tree. Click the pic to see the true furrowed brow.
These next 3 are out of order... they post in reverse as to how I upload them and I can't remember that. LOL

This one has got to be one of my favorites of JP... ever. Too bad the shadow from the tree is in his face but I love LOVE his expression here... and the glint in his eye.

Bury me, Mom!

Watch out below!

Doing some handywork... besides Molly, does anyone need a handyboy?

There.... I got a post in. I promise I'll try to do better!
