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!

While the cat is away... the mouse will:

PAINT!!!!!!!!

I finally painted the half-bathroom. It took most of the day but I did it! GO ME!

Before: (I had already removed everything when I remembered to take pics)


AFTER: New color - Moonrock. Love it!

The color in this last pic is a little off... the true color is more like the above 2. And yes.. the mirror must GO. I need to find a new one. This one came with the house. Bah.

I hope the boys love it too... they don't know I did it! LOL

Ooops!

I just realized I never posted any pics from the "police" party on sunday! ENJOY! Happy Birthday JP.

Paging Dr. Moore!

Check this out, Aunt Kat!!!
Listening to see if Clayton has a heart. LOL

Fixing his leg...
Clayton fixing JP's "booty"... Giving JP a shot. LOL!
The boys kept taking turns playing "Doctor". It was pretty comical! I wish all Doctor's appts went so well.

We are having a first tonight. A sleepover! Clayton is staying the night. :)

Cake!

Who likes cake? JP and Clayton!

Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival

What a great day! JP got to go to the Pumpkin Patch AND his Fall Festival at school. Here are a few pics:




He pulled the cart load of pumpkins all the way back to the shed. It was a long way! Scaling the tree:
Singing on stage. Well, listening at the moment.

After another big day he konked out pretty quick tonight. Good thing as he has school tomorrow and a birthday party to attend tomorrow night!!! 2 birthday parties on Sunday... I'm tired just thinking about it!

Happy 4th Birthday J.P.! We love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet boy! I can't believe you are 4 years old. Where does the time go? All we can do is cherish every moment and look forward to making more memories!!!

I wanted to document JP's birthday with pictures. I uploaded these and they somehow posted in the wrong order so the first pics are tonight and they go back through the day to the morning...

Presents! Look at this, daddy.

Blew them out in 1 try. Look who's lurking in the background.
An unexpected surprise this afternoon. The firemen were checking the hydrants on our street. JP beelined 2 houses down the street, barefoot, to catch up with them and to oogle over the truck. Of course they got a kick out of the boy that was jumping up and down and beaming from ear to ear so they let him climb in, drive, honk, turn on the lights, etc. He LOVED this!!!!

I'm 4! today!!!

My mom gave him a framed "Phelps" poster. He loves it and it's up in his playroom. The funny thing is this morning when we were in the waiting room at the dentist JP asked if "Phelps" went to the dentist too. LOL

First phone call of the day from Aunt Kat!

I did it! I let the dentist look at and count my teeth... look what I got! A snake and a toothbrush!

"Conducting" the orchestra at Shore Tire. He loves to conduct. Bravo, Maestro!
A little TBall this afternoon... a beaufiful day!

Up close.. click on the pic to see his cute freckles on his nose.
The end! JP had a great day... and so did I!!!!
