We went to Fond du Lac on Saturday and enjoyed a lovely relaxing day with
Grandma Cookie and Grandpa Brewski!
True to his nickname for her, Grandma had cookies waiting for James.
Pumpkin ones - Jimmy was in heaven!
The boys went outside to put the canoe away for the winter ...
And had a helper!
We spent some time playing in the driveway too.
Looking at the moon - just starting to peek out.
James loves to find the moon and airplanes in the sky and repeatedly tell you he sees it until you acknowledge said moon or airplane!
"moon!" "moon!" "moon!"
Getting a ride from Grandpa Ted - front wheel needs to be lifted to go fast!
Maybe he will learn to pedal by the springtime!
We bundled Isaac up to spend sometime outside too.
Serious face for the camera...
(Not gonna smile daddy, you gotta work harder for one!)
There it is!
Isaac and I went inside shortly after the last photo - he was drooling so much that we were running out of dry clothes. Then he went and puked on his fleece suit - so we we had some nakey time before putting on our last dry/ clean outfit for the ride home!
Before leaving James and Grandpa spent some time on the back porch. They were ringing the bell (aka wind chimes) and calling, "suppertime!"
I am guessing this skill will come in handy when we get to Thanksgiving and all of the dads are outside playing football!
Jimmy thought it was hilarious!
The other highlight of the trip was the little stool in the bathroom.
James could "wash" his hands whenever he wanted.
He also discovered a nice supply of disposable cups and repeatedly filled up a cup to drink.
He would come out of the bathroom with a full cup, carry it to wherever we were in the house (and spill half of it on the way) drink the rest (proudly I might add) and then crumple up the cup and toss it in the garbage.
Needless to say, we did a lot of towel mopping of the floor
and probably owe Grandma a new box of cups!
