Baa baa black sheep

When we were in Duluth last weekend Adam thought the old spinning wheel at Granny and Papa's was pretty cool. Most kids would play with it as a ship's wheel, but not our boy. He stepped right up and started singing his heart out like it was a microphone. Baa Baa Black sheep was his big number.

Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
One for the master, one for the dame

One for the little boy who lives down the lane...(you get the picture)
Tonight Adam and Daddy were getting in the spirit of Halloween and got their pumpkin carved.
Icky insides!
The small pumpkin was the one Adam painted at preschool, the big one is the one he carved with daddy.
Cash for clunkers! For those who know the story, we finally got our car (and a years worth of free oil changes for all the crap we had to put up with)!

Proofs

Ryan and I had a very fun weekend in Duluth. I have some fun pictures that I will post soon. For now, I wanted to leave you all with a link to Adam's two year proofs. We are having trouble narrowing it down to our favorites.

Lights, Camera, Action Wiggles!

I think this is the longest I have gone between posts. I am sorry to all our faithful viewers. Life as you can imagine has been pretty busy. However, the countdown is on! I have nine weeks of school left until I am Robin Fried, MT MBA. WOOT!

To catch you up all up on the goings on. Adam is a huge ball of energy. There is no off switch on that boy. I am so thankful for our nighttime routine. After bath he knows it is time to calm down, and has been such a good boy with sleeping in his big boy bed.

Yesterday we had quite an adventure. For an early Christmas present, we decided to take Adam to a Wiggle's concert in Minneapolis. For those of you who do not know who the Wiggles are, they are 4 Australian men who run around, dress up, and sing silly songs, and kids love them. Adam loves their songs. We have downloaded a lot of their music to play for him and he has seen a couple of their videos. He is hooked.

The adventure actually started about a half hour out of town. I heard a gaging sound. I looked back and saw my son gaging himself and then promptly throwing up all over. Since we were only going down for a day trip, we were not prepared for this to happen. We pulled off at the nearest exit and navigated our way (through thick fog) to a K-Mart. Poor Adam got stripped down in parking lot and wrapped in his blanket. I them carried my barf covered baby through the store to the bathroom. I then gave Adam a bath right there in the bathroom sink, while Ryan ran around the store buying new clothes and supplies to clean up the car. Oh the joy of parenting. Adam was a good sport. He sat very well while we searched for a store and did not cry at all. We got everything cleaned up and got back on the road.

We still got to the concert with time to spare. Adam had a good time (and so did mom and dad). The show was more than just singing, there was acrobats, dancing and games. Adam was a little overwhelmed at first, but by the end he was dancing along with all the other kids. He talked about the Wiggles the entire way home, and wanted to watch more.

To make up for our absence, I have a bunch of new pictures for you!

Rocking Horse

One of Adam's new favorite toys is the rocking horse his Great Uncle Dave got for him. Now that he can get on the horse by himself, he likes to run into his room for a ride every now and then. I was folding laundry the other day and caught him in the act. Enjoy!

Baby Jesus and God made the moon

As were driving home last night from running our errands, Adam kept pointing at the sky and asking "Mommy, mommy do you see the moon, do you see it?". Even though it was cloudy and rainy, with the moon no where in site I of course said "Yes, Adam I see it!". I then asked him if he knew who made the moon. He paused for a moment. I asked "Adam, did God make the moon?" He replied "Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus and God made the moon." This has now be come one of his favorite topics of conversation. If fact it was one of the first things he said to me this morning. Every time he says it I think, yes God made the moon... and my beautiful son.
