Real pajamas!

This cute kid is wearing "big boy" PJs for the first time tonight!

To me it makes him look so much older.

Octagon

Hinton announced this evening at dinner that he was making an octagon out of his green beans.  It doesn't look like an octagon exactly, but it does have eight sides.  We've never talked about octagons before . . . did he learn this in preschool?  Regardless, I was pretty impressed!

Kason, Week Twenty-Five

Exercising

Hinton would do a whole workout on the elliptical if we would let him.

It's Buzz Rolston!

(In a potential Halloween costume.)

Crib

Look who's sleeping in his crib!  Finally.

Chehalis-Centralia Railroad

This afternoon we went on a steam engine ride
on the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad.

 Kason's checking things out.

So is Hinton.

And . . . he's out.

Mostly.

A.C. Gilbert play date

We met some friends at A.C. Gilbert this afternoon. 
They have a new pet hospital!

Dr. Hinton & Dr. Eli:

 

Exploring the jungle:

Kason, Week Twenty-Four

Preschool + Lunch With Daddy

= 2 tuckered out boys this week.

(how they looked when we got home)

Roll Over, Roll Over!

Kason finally rolled over (belly to back) for the first time today!  He's been on the verge of doing it for awhile now.  Also - his first tooth broke through last night!

Star Wars

Hinton watching Star Wars for the very first time!

Back to Soccer

Hinton hasn't been to soccer class since before Kason was born, 

but they had a free session this afternoon.  Couldn't pass that up!

Playing "Farmer & Foxes".

Farmer & Foxes video (with a whoopsie!)

 
 Hinton catching a fox!

(Once you've been caught you become a farmer.)

Facebook Photo

Okay, so I didn't take this photo thinking it would be 

for my Facebook profile . . . but that's what it ended up being.

Ready For Preschool, Day 2

No tears today!

And the other pics

I have to take some silly pics when I'm taking the weekly/monthly photos.

Hinton riding the tiger?  He thought this was pretty darn funny.

Tummy time is getting better.  For longer and longer periods it is more like this:

 

than this:

Kason, Week Twenty-Three

Year Three, Month Ten + One Day

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I love how he snuggles into his pillow.  Cozy.  Cute.

Love these boys!

Preschool + Lunch With Daddy = Exhausted Hinton

First Day of Preschool

Ready to go!

 Some of his friends from Creative Discoveries will be in his new class too.

Ryan - Jake - Hinton

Hanging up his backpack at his cubby . . .

Finding his picture to turn around so that it will show his name.

(Their way of "checking in" when the kids enter the classroom.)

Finding a seat for circle time.  This was just before he, and most of the other kids, started crying.  (The admin staff said it was short-lived.  Hinton was doing great when I can back to pick him up, and seemed to have enjoyed himself.)

Spying on Hinton when I came back to pick him up.

He looks like he's having fun!

Cranberry Festival Parade, 2011

Ready for the parade to begin!

Waving to Smokey the Bear.

 

Lots to look at.

 

 Candy, candy, candy!

And, not very much competition near us.

Elvis was the last to come by.
 

We came across a dunk tank.  Hinton thought this was HILARIOUS!

They had a nice kids' section set up.

It included a petting zoo.

A "corn box".

Making music.

"Milking" the cow.

Riding a tractor.

Resting with Grandma and Grandpa.

Kason was there too.  He was just strapped into the front pack the entire time.
