Kid Flash

Lately, Lucas has really taken a shine to a show called Young Justice, which is a cartoon about the sidekicks in the DC comics universe (DC is Batman, Superman, etc). In particular, he likes Kid Flash. I'm not sure if it has to do with his speed or the way he acts, but if I had to bet on it, I'd say it was the uniform. Lucas loves the goggles Kid Flash wears so the other day he dug his old swim goggles out of one of the drawers. He then wore them either on his eyes or resting on his forehead for the better part of the day.

Here's a few pictures of our superhero in action. First off, a some good-natured mugging for the camera.


Then ya gotta show off the guns.


Finally, our superhero prepares to dash off.


Of course, any superhero worth his salt has to have an archenemy, and in this case, it's apparently Laptop Mom. I have no idea where his shirt went between this picture and the last one.

More from December

Here's a few pictures from right after we decorated our Christmas tree last December (man, I really need to catch up).




And completely not keeping with that theme, Lucas slices up some celery on the cutting board.

Children's Christmas Party at St Pat's

Now that we are through with November, time to plow through December and hit 2011 before 2012 gets here. It shouldn't be too bad since I already posted all the Christmas photos way back when they happened. Well, sort of. In today's update, we'll take a look at a few pictures I took from the children's Christmas party at Marilu's school.

I'm pretty sure this is right before we brought him for a haircut. It was starting to get a bit, shall we say, unwieldy?


I love this photo. This is his reaction to Santa coming in the room.


Although he can be ridiculously shy, when it comes to getting presents, all bets are off.



Tearing into his gift.


A nice photo with Santa.

November in a Nutshell

Once again, Mom has reminded me that I'm neglecting my posting duties so here are some new pictures from November for you. (note that "new" is a very relative term here). I should point out that November may have been the lowest photo count since Lucas was born so there isn't a whole lot to see here.

The Artiste! Lucas drew the two figures on the left. I don't know what other 3 year olds are able to accomplish with chalk, but I thought it was impressive.


Being very patient as Marilu takes his temperature.


Not really sure why he looks so upset here, moments after he was caught playing with a bag of flour.


This is a really nice picture of Lucas and Marilu.


And that's it for November. Told you so. Next time...December
