Friday Halloweenblogging

Day late and a dollar short. No sleepblogging this week - posted all my recent shots the other day. But, I do have the Halloween shots. Before we get to the festivities, here are a few more of Jr and Grandpa from his visit. He really cut the tar out of himself.
Now, on to the Halloween. For his first Halloween, Grandma Sammie got him this punkin outfit. At first, he was not very pleased. Once people came and started fawning over him, he changed his tune.
"I'm NOT happy!"

The setup. We had 60 fullsize candy bars, and several pounds of the little ones. Gave 'em all away.
This one is my favorite.
My costume. 'course, the Canes went and lost later that night 4-2. $*$&%*##&$$*&

Here he is with Cayden and Dan. They cleaned up, and Denny was able to get a fresh beer.

Here's another great one - Kelson and Colin. They're best buds. Isn't that costume the cutest thing you've ever seen?
More trick or treaters Liam and Grace stop by.
Now he's starting to get excited.

And there you have it - Colin's first trick or treat. He seemed to enjoy it. Can't wait 'til next year when he can go door to door and collect us some candy.

Seein's how it's Friday, might as well indulge in Mary's favorite - Random 11.

1. "Facet Squared" - Fugazi
2. "On the Day" - Rollins Band
3. "Delta Lady" - Joe Cocker
4. "Struggle for Jive" - Urban Dance Squad
5. "Caught In a Mosh" - Anthrax
6. "Brand New Day" - Van Morrison
7. "Renovation" - Helmet
8. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" - U2
9. "2+2=5 (The Lukewarm.)" - Radiohead
10. "Who Tends the Fire" - Overkill
11. "Leeches" - Naked Raygun

I might be the biggest dork in the Western Hemisphere. At least my Fantasy Hockey team is doing well . . . did I just type that?

Pre-Friday Notsleepblogging, Birthversiary, etc etc

Well, nearly another week, and no pictures of Jr. sleeping. We really are falling down on the job, and nearly driving traffic away, aren't we? At least we have a good excuse this time. The galloping epizudic crept through our house, Mary had it for a while, I've had it nearly every night this week, and it seems that Colin has a little bout of it as well, sadly.

In the biggest news of the week, we've begun preliminary experiments with solid food on Mr. Man, and he's enjoyed it. Got it almost right out of the chute. The only downside is that the batteries on the 'ol camera were shot, so I have no pix to pass along. I'm sure I'll get some in the next couple of days - mostly just his smiling mein covered with rice meal - but fun nonetheless.

In the meantime, here are a couple of shots that he'll be angry at me about a few years down the line, but are cute as hell:
His future girlfriends / wife will think they're adorable, won't they?
Here he is in Teh Cow after the above bath.

After he got out, Mommy dressed him up in his Reds duds (and given where they are in the fixtures, and the fact that Griffey's out for the remainder of the season, we can start that standard line of Cincinnati reasoning, "Wait 'til next year."). We set him up in front of the Miami (FL.) / Texas A&M tilt, and he was enjoying it.
So, I will try to get something up tomorrow for Random 11 / sleepblogging, but no promises. After all, tomorrow is our fifth Birthversiary. That's right, Mary's put up with me in a Church/State sanctioned union for five years tomorrow. Hard to believe it. And, Mary will be celebrating another 29th birthday. I got her some killer presents, so she'll be happy.

'til later . . . Seeyouse!

Saturday NotSleepblogging

Once again, another week has come and gone, and I've not taken a picture of the boy sleeping. So we're

NOTSLEEPBLOGGING!!!!!!!

this week. Oh well . . .

In other news, a certain cousin prodded me to get to posting, since it'd been a while. Colin wanted to pass this along to her:

Sorry for the week off! Been busy with lots of stuff . . .

In the first to shots below, we're trying to capture Colin's new favorite game - not tossing him up in the air, but holding him high up - he giggles and coos a lot when we do it.

Also, that certain cousin was the one that got us this mackdaddy stroller, the Bad-Ass Mother 2000. While we were out running errands today, we got a lot of complements about it. It's a football Saturday, gotta represent.

Of course, Mommy has to buckle Jr in to the Bad Ass Mother 2000 to the point of constriction. For pictures. "Safety First!"

feh.

Finally, here's Mommy's favorite feature: Random 11!!!!!

1. "The Times You've Come" - Jackson Browne
2. "Something About You" - Level 42
3. "Uncle Sam" - Madness
4. "Remain In Memory" - Articles of Faith
5. "Something For Sellers" - Henry Mancini
6. "Touch Me With Your Love" - Beth Orton
7. "Mother's Milk" - Swans
8. "Mad Axe Attack" - Laaz Rockit
9. "Komakino" - Joy Division
10. "Shoulda" - Hinder
11. "Come On, Pt. 3" - Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble

Wow, that's an odd grouping. Oh well . . . hopefully more posting this week coming up. Drop us a line and whatnot.

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
