Pre-School Party Part II

Hello Red Raider football player!Thomas was proud of the Smarties he won doing the pumpkin walk.He also had fun at the pumpkin bowling station ~ even though he never actually rolled the pumpkin!Trey seems to be impressed with Thomas' jersey. Maybe he can borrow it sometime!For snack the kids had "Dirt". Oreo cookies crushed into chocolate pudding with gummy worms mixed in. Very messy but they loved it! (I didn't even try to get the white shirt clean ~ it went right to the trash!) Thomas was more interested in the camera's tripod than he was in posing for pictures. Imagine that!

Here are a couple of classmates ~ Cobe the Monkey and Allie the Cheerleader. Look ~ it's the Great Pumpkin!
And guess who snoozed through most of the party.........

Pre-School Party Part I

Thomas wore a monster costume to his pre-school party. It's a hand-me-down from a friend of ours from church and I thought it suited Thomas perfectly! This kid LOVES his lunchbox! Thomas and Ms. Jennifer!
Thomas and Mommy!
Thomas was very proud of his stamp artwork.
Guess what this means.............. Say goodbye to the green monster!

Fall Festival 2007 Part II

After about 15 minutes of wearing the lion suit Thomas had had enough (just as I predicted). I was prepared with his Texas Tech football jersey! He went from being a lion to a football player in less than 2 minutes!Thomas was playing in the fort and found a cupcake that someone had left on the slide platform. He helped himself to a bite or two before I could stop him. So in the next pictures he's got icing on his face! Once again ~ come get me!
Will seems to be more than happy to pose again, but I think Thomas is about fed up!

We went back to Ladybug Katie's station so Thomas could play again. The object of the game was to knock the pumpkin cans down with the ball. After helping Katie stack the cans again i was Thomas' turn to play. However, he decided it would be more fun to balance the ball on top of the pile. I thought his way of playing was much better ~ and a lot less messy!
Looks like Thomas knows something we don't know!

Fall Festival 2007 Part I

Our church had it's annual Fall Festival last night. Here are a few pictures from the big event!After several attempts this the best picture I could get of the 2 boys together. I like to think Thomas is saying "ROAR!" but in reality he's probably saying "Get this pumpkin off of me!" Thomas is either showing off his sharp claws or reaching out for someone to rescue him from the hay bales!Will is working on his bubble blowing skills! Thomas and his friend Hudson were both lions for Halloween!
Thomas won a sucker at Ladybug Katie's station!

Do Do loves her nephews ~ I think the feeling is mutual!
Paw Paw is trying to help Will cool off! He was becoming a well-done pumpkin!
And look who is in charge of the popcorn machine!

Making a Mess

This morning I was busy rocking Will and getting him settled for a nap in the swing. Thomas and Hudson were playing quitely in his room so I wasn't too concerned about checking on them. Well, I was successful in getting Will down:
Meanwhile, Thomas and Hudson were successful in emptying both of the toy baskets in Thomas' room! But I didn't mind too much because it kept them quiet for about 20 minutes and it only took us 3 minutes to clean it up! So I figure it was worth the 17 minutes difference to get to rock Will uninterrupted! When Will woke up I moved him to the Boppy and told him what the big boys had been up to. This was his reaction

Jealous?

I was trying to give Will a bottle but you-know-who wasn't too happy about sharing his mommy. So big brother climbed up in my lap, too. It made it little bit more difficult to feed Will, but that's just fine with me!

Before & After

I decided to try slicking Will's hair down to see how it looked. Here are the before and after pictures. To tell you the truth, I like the wild hair look myself, even if it looks like my baby stuck his finger in a light socket. He does have a nice shaped head, though! And of course Thomas had to get his hands on his brother. Doesn't look like Will is too thrilled about sharing his toy, does it? Actually it is one of Thomas' old toys so I guess you could say Thomas is sharing it with Will!

For Cousin Marsha

Are you happy now?? Thomas has had this shirt all summer but I've been very careful when and where I let him wear it ~ don't want to ruin his reputation, you know! Thomas was excited when I got him dressed, but then I told him that his shirt had the Longhorn logo on it and he wasn't too happy anymore! But I do have to admit.... Burnt Orange does look good with his hair!!

Salt, anyone??

Thomas seems to be getting into a lot things these days. The latest victim ~ the salt shaker! He seemed pretty pleased with himself at first, however, I assured him that as soon as I finished taking pictures of him being naughty he was going to be in BIG trouble. I'm not sure he believed me but he put on his "who me??" face just in case! Note to self: add salt to the grocery list.

A C U Homecoming 2007

Thomas has the best seat of all! Thomas cheered as the band, The Big Purple, marched by.Daniel, Sarah, Rachel and Anna loved watching all of the cool floats!Daniel got to hold Will (he's all bundled up to protect him from the wind). Anna and Debbie supervised! Thomas thought the GATA fountain was fun ~ it was dyed purple and had lots of bubbles! Thomas even got to see Gray for a few minutes. He tired to catch a ride on Gray's stroller.
This is the only picture of Will that I got where you can actually see him. But what cute picture it is! I think he's smiling because he knows what his bib says is true!
