Andrew Anecdotes

Yesterday I was asking Andrew how old he was going to be on his next birthday. He then told me "old".

We had a pretty good Thanksgiving. We went to my aunt Margaret's for dinner and then celebrated Heather's 20th birthday. Andrew had a lot of fun "playing" video games with his big cousin Matthew. He got a little pouty when Chris and Paul showed up and there wasn't enough controllers to go around. He plopped down in front of the door with a super sad face. The best part was that he actually ate some turkey. Grant it, it was before the meal actually started, but better than nothing. This whole month when people have been asking him what he has been thankful for, he keeps saying "candy". Nice, Andrew, real nice...

Walking With Dinosaurs!

A few weeks ago we took Andrew to see this show called Walking With Dinosaurs. It was AWESOME! They had life size dinosaurs the walked around and roared. I can't tell you how cool it was. It was like watching a real life Discovery Chanel show. The whole show was basically a science lesson with "real" participants. Andrew had see one of the dinosaurs on the news and had told us that he wanted to go, over and over and over and over again. He really enjoyed it and still talks about it. But of course my camera died just before the T-Rex came out. :( Some of the pictures may be blurry because couldn't use the flash.

Roar! I'm a "dinoroar"

The stage before the show. The Bracciosaurs

that came out reached all the way to those lights up top!

Halloween 2009

Andrew was so cute this year. He was really excited about dressing up and I think he remembered what the deal was from last year. Which, by the way, is when he decided that wanted to be Superman. Marc wore a Superman T-shirt and Andrew's cape and Andrew cried then to be Superman. So, this year when I asked him what he wanted to be he said without missing a beat "Superman".

Here he is helping Daddy gut the pumpkin.

Reaching in to grab the seeds.

Making sure Mommy did a good job on the carving.

After Karate class he insists on wearing his

Rick's Kicks T-shirt all day. I hope you can't

tell he doesn't have shorts on.

Two great smiles.

I pretty much threw this costume together.

It's a Superman T-shirt, a blue pair of PJ's, a pair of

red underwear and socks, a cape we got at Six Flags, and yellow

electrical tape for a belt.

Up, Up and Away!

We tried really hard to get the Superman curl.

His bangs were cut a little too short

the last time we went to the Barber. Then it had to be

on the side with his cowlick or it wouldn't have worked at all.

This is right before we went trick-or treating.

At each house, after the people opened the door, Andrew would

say "Trick-or-treat Jesus!". What was up with that?

I have no idea where he got that from.
