Sorry, I can't talk right now. I'm busy navigating my ship and there are SHARKS in these waters!

Hold your horses...

We toddlers are so literal...I was helping Mom make chili one night and she had a bag of shredded cheese waiting on the counter (I LOVE to eat shredded cheese by the handful). I may have gotten carried away grabbing at things on the counter and asking her a zillion questions all at once, and she was starting to get a little frustrated with me... I asked her if I could have some cheese and she said Henry, just hold your horses. I don't really know WHY she wanted me to hold my horse...but....ok. I got down from the step stool, ran to my playroom and grabbed my horse. Got back up on the stepstool and asked "NOW can I have some cheese, please?". For some reason Mom and Dad found that really funny. Dad said, "Amanda, I don't see how you can possibly say no, he did EXACTLY what you asked him to". Mommy laughed, agreed and got me some cheese. Yeah!

You want some of this???

Mom and Dad keep saying they're ready for winter to be over...but...I'M having a good time!

Happy Holidays!!

Leaves & Leaving

Our last trip to see Grammie & Grampie in Shirley before they leave for the winter. The weather was perfect..crisp and cool and MANY fall leaves to jump and roll in. Henry has a new favorite fall past time! We sure are going to miss Grammie & Grampie (hurry home!)

The Orono Bog Boardwalk

Fall has arrived. Vanessa and I took the kids out to the bog to see if we could find any foliage starting to change, maybe see (hear) some wildlife, and to just enjoy the crisp fall day. We had a great time and the kids even did the whole boardwalk (a little over a mile) by themselves! WOW! Henry was thrilled to "discover" pitcher plants (full of water)...and was quite intrigued by his binoculars. (Though...most of the time he had them backwards so I imagine he was a bit confused (why would Mom think it's cool to make things look REALLY far away?!). Ah well...

Was pretty cute, though, how he figured out how to just slide his glasses up on his head rather than take them off completely! ha ha ha. The wheels are always turning...

Henry loves to garden...in his jammies!

Henry was VERY proud to grow & tend to his "own" garden this year...In his Easter/Spring basket he recieved his very own gardening gloves and seeds for the garden...
He planted zuccini, tomatoes, peas, sunflowers and Mom planted a few peppers and more tomato (though, she cheated and bought plants...). ;-) Have to say, he has quite the little green thumb...we've enjoyed some wonderful zuccini & tomatoes this summer and just look at those sunflowers (more photos to follow...)!
