our little turkey

wondering how Shu celebrated 

this Thanksgiving??

click this.

meet ranger

this is my little therapy dog.

kim brought ranger up for thanksgiving to stay with me.

i needed him loads--

shu & i  (along with several other family members)

were taken out at the knees by a bug of epic strength.

ranger, bless his sturdy little heart,

hung with me through it all.

leafy goodness

haircut!

 

this amazing pic brought to you courtesy of uncle keith.

he & joshua enjoyed a day spent 

adventuring with dinosaurs, 

lunching at playgrounds, 

& throwing rocks into water.

the day's collection

joshua was a busy man today whilst The Nana and i took on 

the ever amazing (read: bewildering) world of 

the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. 

oy to the vey.

along the way, he found

(and saw fit to have me keep safe)

the following:

1. a sweet orange matchbox car
2. a hand wipe and...
3. a sugar packet from chick fil a
4. a rock from the endless amount of dirt played in today
5. a quarter from the aforementioned dirt
6. a york peppermint patty from uncle spud
7. a leaf
   

 

  

busy, busy, busy.

little t rex

shu & aunt amy

came to a very important decision.

a halloween decision.

he would be, wait for it,

a t rex.

(shock! gasp!)

special Shout Out to uncle keith for converting the costume to a T Rex!

we went to kristen & jeff's again this year,

& we're pretty convinced the shu

will never see their neighborhood the same again.

while kris & i manned their driveway

(wrapped in blankets & heating pads next to a fire pit, thank you!)

mark & jeff took the kids out.

the pirate, the eskimo & the rex

all kinds of ready

the costume was so awesome.

we particularly loved the way it jiggled when he ran.

here's what mark saw all night:

he had a blast.

after nearly every house, mark said,

he would run down the driveway yelling,

"i got another one!"

cracks me up.

handing out candy/red zone hilarity

**for those of you who can't get enough

(grandparents? aunts? calendar-makers?)
