Cool as a cucumber

Topher and I were talking in the living room and Bex was making a ruckus in his room. Apparently he was getting ready to show us just how cool he is...

Out out out

We have been having a wonderful time playing outside this fall and as winter approaches. Bex loves being outside and it is a bit of a bummer that it is dark when we pick him up from school. We try to make up for it by being outside a lot on the weekends. He has been wearing his purple fleece suit which is a hand-me-down from his cousins... I guess they liked purple too! He often gets mistaken for a girl but he doesn't seem to mind. Auntie Lia also gave us his dog-mitt mittens which are used for sled-dogs up in AK. They are great for kiddos because you can really strap their little hands in with velcro and they have enough fabric so that he can still pick things up. He really likes them and asks to put them on before heading out. His teachers were calling him Rocky- because he looks like a boxer with his hands taped up.

The Naked Truth

My boy likes to do the dishes on his big boy stool. Naked.

Fig Pig

We discovered Bex's love of figs this weekend. We were having dinner at Clare's house this weekend and Bex ate ALL her figs. Not just most of them, but ALL of them. Clare got him back by taking his bear hat. We also decided on having Thanksgiving dinner at our house this weekend. That means that we will be making the turkey- funny considering our lack of cooking skills. I'm hoping that cousin Meg will come and help!

Lion King

Bex was a ferocious lion for Halloween this year. We had a fun-filled festive holiday with an insane pumpkin carving party at our house with four little people running everywhere. It was as if a mini-hurricane Sandy came in and swept all the toys out of Bex's room and threw them around the rest of the house. We had a great time though. We then had some people over for Halloween night because we live in a great trick-or-treating neighborhood. Here are some pics of the Lion King and his best friend the Clare the cow.
