Raleigh's new wheels

Raleigh got a surprise from his Mom and Dad tonight. After we saw how much he liked the neighbors' tricycle, Daddy went and bought him a Radio Flyer Steer and Stroll. He didn't scream or jump for joy when he saw it, but he smiled ear to ear and was enthralled by his ride to the point that he hardly noticed the planes, trees, lizards, and birds that he normally points out.




But he rode it so enthusiastically that he blew the engine and had to push it home.

New Toys

The whole family got new toys today. Dad got to play with his first. ...after Mom had a go...



We love that we can mow at 10 o'clock at night now if we want. It actually might be more pleasant that way in the summer, if it weren't for the mosquitos.

Raleigh gets his new toy tomorrow after school.

Breakfast Date, Take Two

The cow and pig came to breakfast again. This time they were much cleaner and came in style.

Breakfast Date

Raleigh had two friends over for breakfast this morning.



Evidently, their cleanliness was not up to Raleigh's standards--he kept saying "wipe the pig" and "wipe the moo" and cleaning them off.

What do you expect from a cow and a pig?

Early admission

We took Raleigh to Rice for the first time today. Then Dad and Buddy went to Valhalla.






We'll be back next weekend for the Centennial.

Pumpkin Patch

Happy Fall!

 

 

We took Raleigh to the pumpkin patch today.  As you can tell, he takes his pumpkins very seriously.

National Night Out

Erik's owned his house for 11 years and we finally went to a Night Out so we can find more playmates for Raleigh. Raleigh had a great time and stood in front of the band clapping for about an hour! He kept clapping, even once the band had finished their set. Then he was kind enough to help them break down their equipment. We think they have a groupie.
