Halloween Cookies!

About a week ago I decided to put to use the new Halloween cookie cutters I picked up. Graedy was stoked-I heard that he had made some cookies with his Grammy earlier in the week. We started out by making the cookie dough. Graedy was a big help and did a great job following directions.

After chilling the dough, we rolled it out and Graedy did all of the cutting. I think he ended up with about as much flour on his shirt as we had on the wax paper!Pre frosting-and so excited he can actually eat them now!

Here's my bat!

On to the frosting. Here is the pumpkin he frosted himself...so proud!


Here's his candy corn...half licked!

He mostly licked the frosting off of the cookies and didn't eat a whole lot of actual cookie!

New Use for the Potty Chair

Obviously this was before we ditched the paci. That is the rubber seat that goes with the potty chair that you see around his feet. He still thinks this is a better use for the potty, or as a stool to try to sneak some chocolate! We're still waiting for him to show a little more interest in actually going to the bathroom in the potty!

The First of Many Nerf Battles

We have since had to purchase an additional nerf gun so that everyone has one. So much fun!

The joys of raising a boy!

So gross but so funny!

The San Diego Zoo

After visiting the Midway, the next day we headed to the zoo. Graedy was into the statues this day!

Here he is on the hippo.

Feeding the giraffes. I have a cute video of this at the bottom!

Lovin' dad and Grammy but wanting to feed the giraffe again!

Riding the Dumbo look alike at the play area.

Enjoying his seat on the secretary bird.


Hanging out in the shade of the elephant!

And finally, the video of Graedy feeding the giraffe. I think this is something we are going to have to do every time we go to the zoo! He absolutely loved it! Pay close attention to his comment at the end... :)
