Everybody up for the Kick-off

How do you know we have been to a few Bison games? Because we have to play football every night. Charlie sets the ball up and then kicks it. While he is doing this, I have to go wahooooooooo with my hands in the air waving my fingers until he kicks off, just like at the Bison games.

 Setting the ball up

 Kicking off

Do you notice his fancy get-up? He has his Vikings jersey on backwards because all of the numbers are worn off on the front. Then he needs shorts and his football socks (gray socks that pull up to his knees. Throw in some Bison tattoos and he is all set to practice football all night.

Tailgating with Grandma Cindy

Hudson slept through part of the game.

Then he was wide awake.

Charlie did not want his picture taken.

Painting a Pumpkin

I had asked Charlie if he wanted to do a project. I had found a cute project to paint jars to make pumpkins. He misunderstood me, and just wanted to paint a pumpkin blue. So he picked out a pumpkin and we let him paint it.

The Flying Marker

Charlie came upstairs last night at 9:30 after being put to bed. He was carrying his art bag that is full of all his art supplies.  When we asked him what he was doing, he informed us that his hand was blue. He lifts up his hand and his palm and fingers are all colored blue with marker. Here is our conversation


Mommy: What happened to your hand?
Charlie: It is all blue.
Mommy: How did that happened?
Charlie: The marker did it.
Mommy: The marker did it? You had nothing to do with it?
Charlie: No, the marker did it.
Mommy: The marker flew out and colored your hand.
Charlie: Yes.
Mommy: Your other hand wasn't touching the marker as it was doing this.
Charlie: No


The next morning he has cereal spilled all over his bedroom floor. When I asked him what happened, the marker spilled them.

Hungry Boy

Hudson can't seem to get enough to eat. He is a busy, growing boy. We have increased to 2 Tbsp. of cereal and 2 Tbsp. of fruit/veggies at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  It seemed to make a difference today. Hudson has now tried cereal, applesauce, carrots, pears, and sweet potatoes.

 The picture is a little blurry but here he is enjoying his supper.

A happy, smiling boy the rest of the evening now that he is finally full again.

Bath Time

Corey thought the boys should take a bath together. I don't think it made the bath process and easier or faster. Hudson didn't know what to think.
