Doctor's Office Redux

Remember Lucas's crazy picture from the doctor's office? Don't feel bad if you don't since it was back in March 2012, but if you want a reminder, click this link for a refresher. I liked this photo so much that Marilu gave me an iPhone case with the picture on it as a present.

The point of all this is that there is a sequel to that picture. If the word "sequel" applies to pictures...I'll have to look that up. Just like the videos in the previous post, these two pictures are also from May of this year. We were at the doctor's office (again), and I showed my iPhone case to the nurse, who got a real kick out of it. So Lucas decided to pose again. It's not quite as funny as the first one since that one was more spontaneous, but the results are still amusing. Enjoy!

And away we go!

Between now and Christmas, I'm hell bent on putting up a new post every day, in order to finally get caught up. I find that I'm so backlogged with pictures now that when I think about trying to catch up, I just put it off since the problem seems insurmountable. But if I do get through this and catch up, it will make it much easier to stay on top of things. So, here goes, post #1!

Back in May, Lucas got his hands on one of our iPhones. This is what happens when a 5 year old (at the time) figures out a smartphone's video function. Your guess is as good as mine as to what the hell he is saying.

Tomorrow, we're driving to Toronto for the weekend. We'll be meeting up with my mom and Kevin, and then Sunday, we'll all be going to the Falcons vs Bills NFL game. Buffalo plays one game a year in Toronto, and as luck would have it, they are playing our favorite team this year so it was too good to pass up. It'll also be Marilu and Lucas's first NFL game. We'll be sure to take plenty of pictures.

Don't worry about my vow to post as much as possible in the next month. As soon as I wrap this post up, I'm going to add another 2-3 and postdate them so they should show up around noon tomorrow and Sunday (and maybe Monday).

Have a good weekend, all!

Still Alive!

New pictures are coming! I have my accounting final on Saturday so I've been focused on studying for that, but once it's complete, I'll have plenty of time to upload some new photos and videos so please bear with me!

The Tooth Fairy Cometh

It's taken 6 years and 4 1/2 months, but this finally happened about 20 minutes ago...

The tooth had been loose for over a week now, and it was real wiggly at bedtime tonight so Marilu helped him pull it out. He was more than a little nervous as she was pulling, but immediately afterwards, he was ecstatic, as you can see here. None of the others are loose at the moment so it may be a while before our next tooth fairy update.

Halloween 2013

I'm currently bogged down with accounting stuff so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Here are a couple of pictures from last night's trick or treating. Lucas was in a rush to get out there and collect his candy so I didn't get a chance to get a really good picture of him. So here he is, in all his "not looking at the camera, red eye" glory.

And here are this year's pumpkins. You'll note they aren't nearly as detailed as previous years. I didn't really have time nor did I feel like spending 2 hours carving a single pumpkin. I was able to carve each of these in about 10 minutes so that was nice. Lucas came up with the design of the one on the right, actually drawing it on a sheet of paper and then I adapted it (which basically entailed removing the body he wanted attached somehow). The left one was inspired by a pumpkin we saw on the Curious George Halloween special. So even though they aren't as fancy schmancy as other pumpkins I've carved, this was the first year Lucas had input on both. Maybe I'll let him carve one himself next year.

We really lucked out on the weather. Earlier in the day, it was rainy and chilly, but by nighttime, the rain was just about gone and the temperature had come up drastically. As a result, there were about a million and one kids trick or treating on our street. Marilu and Lucas had put together treat bags earlier in the week so she exactly how many bags we had. We went through all 157 of them. Quite a turnout!

Okay, gotta run. Accounting for foreign currency transactions is calling my name. Thrilling, eh?
