Curious kitty!

All evening, after the scarecrows were put up, Sammy could not help himself but check them out...tho he did it from a safe distance, because you just never know about those scarecrows! Well, by the next day, he decided he would get a little closer and he braved sitting on the straw bales not too far from the scarecrows!! (Notice how tense he looks! Crazy cat!)

I am not sure what the scarecrow did, or if Sammy just couldn't resist the lap of warmth, but looks like he has made friends with the scarecrows!

"I'm A Little Scarecrow"

(This is to be sung to the Little Teapot)

I'm a little Scarecrow

Stuffed with Hay

Here I stand in a field all day.

When I see crows, I like to shout,

"Hey! You crows, you better get out!"

And OUR scarecrows!

The making of our scarecrows!

I decided to make a couple scarecrows this year. I have not made a scarecrow in years....don't really remember the last one I made. We both had a blast making them, and the good thing is, it really is something Ethan could help do!

This is Ethan stuffing the pants for the "Daddy" scarecrow!!

Now he is working on the "kid" scarecrow with the straw!

Intense work!

One scarecrow down!

Imagination, what a great thing!

These pictures are of Ethan riding his "motorcycle!" When we would go out over the summer evening for a ride, we would wear these glasses. Well, he found a pair, and the imagination kicked in!!

This is Ethan starting his motorcycle. After making hand motions of revving it up, he stopped and asked me "How's that sound!"

This, of course, is his motorcycle turning!
And just one last shot of him taking off on his loud bike!
The imagination of a kid, I LOVE IT!

Those eyes....the wonders they see!

To see the world through the innocent eyes of a three year old would be very interesting! These eyes are so beautiful, full of questions and curiosity!

Fall Fun!

I bought a couple of big pumpkins bags, the kind you can stuff with leaves and sit outside! I always remembered doing this as a kid, and I figured this would be something that Ethan would really enjoy! It's outdoors, you get to use tools ( I know, just a rake, but thats a big deal to a three year old!), and you get to play in the leaves! We did this quickly because we are having abnormally freezing weather right now, so we bundled up a little and worked quick!

Busy, busy, busy!

If only I could throw leaves all over inside the house......the peace and quiet may only be short-lived.....but....it might be nice for a little bit!

Such a good lil worker!

This is where our scarecrows will go, but they are still in the making! Ethan makes a good prop tho! He was proud of his work!

Fallen leaves, crisp, fresh air, pumpkins, and a happy lil boy! What could be better!!

Pumpkin carving success!

Ethan and I carved pumpkins this evening! We or shall I say-I-had fun. Ethan didn't want to get his hands messy so there wasn't much that he could do! (I don't let him play with knives...yet!) But, he had fun watching the first one and then play dough won over the pumpkins! These are "my masterpieces!"

(It says Trick or Treat--the little space between the T and R fell out on both words!)

Ethan's self-photography moment!

I was getting ready to upload some pictures onto the computer from the camera, and I was going through the pictures first, and I found these!! There were also like 6 or 7 random pictures of the countertop, the window, and some with a finger (I am guessing) in the way! I have no clue when these were taken, if they were with adult supervision, or if Ethan just got a hold of my camera, and decided to leave me a few special pictures! Anyways, I thought these were kind of cute!

Ethan's Third Birthday!

Ethan's birthday was WAY back in August! I thought I would share a few pics of the special day (or days!)


This was a little mini celebration with Mommy and Daddy only!

This was the day of his birthday party! He had lots and lots of guests! He got WAY too many wonderful gifts! He really enjoyed his 3rd birthday! I must say it was a hit---or SPLASH (to those that were there!!)
Yeah right, like he is really shy!!

He's growing and growing and growing......

This is Ethan just a few days ago! He is playing around in a pair of my shoes. For some reason, I don't know if it is his outfit or what, but he looks so BIG!

Finally...some new posts! (i know, that's what u were thinking!)

Sorry no new posts lately! I have been busy and just putting it off! We were gone for a quick trip to Ohio on Friday. Ethan stayed with Grandma T for the weekend. They had lots of fun together!

Clint and I celebrated our FIVE year anniversary together! We drove to Ohio with a group of friends and went to Kings Island for the weekend! We had a great time! Five years makes up only half the time that we have spent together. We were great friends all through high school, and started dating at the end of our senior year. Together we have gone through the good, the bad, and sad times! We have made many great memories, and will continue to do so for many, many more years!!!

This is just funny!

Ethan the SUPERBOY!

This is what happens when you put a towel on the back of a 3 year old and tell him it's his cape!

My parents are so cool!

The guys fixing my dishwasher!

Me and my baby!

Ethan said he wants to get big!

Clint's new toy that he got this summer!

Funny moments around the house!

Ethan in his Brett Favre jersey! I have started to "collect" football jerseys for Ethan. I would like to get most teams (if not all) in the NFL and even a few college teams!

Clint and Ethan outside

Ethan being silly Ethan!

OOPS! I really didn't leave the nail polish out in reach, but the child climbs like a monkey!
My little chef!
Hot summer days outside, enjoying his pool!

All ready for some work!

Funny pictures of the "furry" kids!

Ahhhhh......to be a fat cat on a sunny day!

Yes, this is Ethan, our puppy/kitty/child.

This is Miss Sally, how dare we disturb her during her beauty sleep just for a picture!

What?? Cats can drive too!

Some normal places to sleep, and some NOT so normal....

The car is always a great place to fall asleep!

especially after you have been "krogering!!!"

The bed is a pretty normal place, except when u fall asleep in your bed and end up like this!

Or with toys, like this!

Ethan is always falling asleep on the floor

He really is asleep, car in hand!
This is at Jillian's, a restuarant in Indianapolis! We had just spent the day at the zoo! Ethan was done!

And his nap continues even as we leave the restuarant!
On the coffee table, most would say this is NOT so normal, but Ethan did it quite often!

And, yes he really does sleep with a pillow and blanket at times!
