Birthday Boy

Yesterday morning! He wasn't officially 2 then but he is now!

The bear he is holding was given to him by the doctor that delivered him. He just happened to find it in his closet yesterday morning and had to have it.

Thomas' first Notre Dame game

We took Thomas to his first Notre Dame game last month, Notre Dame vs. Michigan. Unfortunately his record isn't as good as mine...he is 0-1! It was chilly and rainy, hence the froggy raincoat. He was a trooper the entire time and did great. We were even complimented on our little girls wonderful behavior during the game. Seriously how many times do I have to say "Thomas" for you to realize he is a boy?! I know, I know...it's the hair! blah blah... I'm still not cutting it.

I left our camera in the car due to the rain but Aunt Melanie was smart and brought her waterproof case. The picture may be a little blurry but at least we have a picture of all three of us before his first game.

His Aunt Melanie got him a Saint Mary's hat. That face is priceless!

godfather Dan and godmother Melanie were both at Thomas' first ND game.
Very special!

Halloween Crafts

As it is almost Halloween we have been working on some Halloween themed crafts.
Here he is gluing pom poms onto some scary shaped cards.
I can not get his nose to stop running! It's bordering on gross...ALL THE TIME!

After we glued pom poms on some cards he stuck some Halloween themed stickers on others.

So....if you get one in the mail please remember that Thomas did these! My artistic talents really are not much better, only a tiny bit but still!

Aunt Megan and Aunt Melanie sent a bunch of "school" stuff to play with (and the Halloween stickers). We have been having lots of fun playing with their pile of stuff. He colored this witch and then attached the nose.

An artistic jack-o-lantern...he obviously favored one eye more than the other!

Pumpkin Tree

We did some Halloween decorating today!

We now have a PUMPKIN TREE!

Rolling around on his mat.

Rice, Pompoms, Golf Lessons and Birthdays

Enjoying the warm fire.

We thought he would be scared but he wasn't. He also listened very well and stayed back from the fire.

Sensory activity...playing with rice.

Mommies sensory activity: cleaning up all that rice!

Some of his "school work" from the last few weeks.

yep....pom poms!

Golf lesson from Lilly.

This is how we plan to get him to San Francisco!

Jumping with Pete.

Reading a book to Pete.

Our visit from our friend Sarah.

He didn't pass gas on her this year!

Playing with his new giant floor puzzle and skyping with Mere and Papa.

Miss. Gracie Lou!

The birthday girl Lilly and my new hairdo!

Just one look at that smile and you know you should feel sorry for Mable!

Color sorting pompoms.

Forget color sorting and on to just playing with the pompoms.

Painting "C for Cat"!

Wed.

Lilly and Grace helped get Thomas up from his nap yesterday. They saw the Eeyore costume in the closet...so...he just had to wear it!

Saw this shirt in the store the other day and had to buy it for godfather Dan.

His corn craft from the library storytime today. I thought it was so cute just had to share it.

My latest project, a car playmat.
