November

Perry asked if he could have a lollipop from his Halloween bag and next thing I know he's got a whole bouquet of them.

He wanted eggs for lunch. He's really in a help himself to whatever he wants stage.

So I had no choice but to roll him up like a burrito.

Scott was reading after school and having some popcorn. It looked so nice I took his picture.

Then I noticed what the book was. A church manual for adults.

How one manages to get a pea on ones forehead while eating is a mystery only Jonah can solve.

We went for ice cream one night at our new favorite ice cream place at the Pruneyard. 

At cookie day, Perry tried a treat and didn't like it, so I told him I'd eat it and let him pick a different one. So the next week, he eats all but this tiny crumb of sugar cookie, then tries to hand it back saying he doesn't like it and needs a new one. 

I told Perry to pack some fun activities to do because I had to take him along with me when I volunteered at school. He loaded his backpack with applesauce.

Perry is obsessed with this States puzzle. Sometimes he can't get all the pieces to line up and asks for help, but refuses to let me touch it.

For the most part we have fun together. He's my little stinker.

Fell asleep with his little bum up in the air.

Studying up on his flashcards while we walk to school. He knows all the Mickey characters and colors, the essentials.

John and I went to a furniture store on a date night. It took a lot of will power to not take a nap right then and there.

My dishes and laundry buddy.

There was no school for Columbus day, so I told the boys once they were ready we'd go to the beach with friends. They even made their beds so nicely. It made me miss those summer mornings with our nice routine.

Shockingly, it was hot at the beach. The forecast was cold temperatures, but with the sun out it was perfect.

There were 9 kids age 7 down to 2 and they played together well. 

Scott stuck to the sand as always, but Jonah and Perry got in the water.

Then a trillion fish migrated down to us and these birds swarmed over and went crazy eating. It was nuts.

I told Perry to get his jacket to walk to school, but he only wanted a hat.

Scott picked a cute turkey cookie at Bonnie's this week.

Perry taking a nap in his brother's bed.

I told Scott the correct way to pronounce Illinois and Arkansas and he asked, "Is it Kansas or just Kansa?"

Walking home from school in the fall leaves with his hands in his pockets.

Perry wanted to get a ribeye and when I said no he asked for filet mignon instead. I don't know how he could tell they were the two most expensive meats available.

Jonah got a Christmas Chewbacca shirt from his friend at school and he's so excited to wear it.

Perry snuggling me and Chewie.

He loves the rain. He walked so slowly we were soaked when we got home.

Making himself some lunch.

I went to get the car appraised to sell and Perry passed out on the way over. It was so nice and peaceful sitting in the warm car in the rain, I hated to get him out. 

He ended up sleeping on my lap through the whole appointment, so it worked out. For him.
