Sawyers first gingerbread house

We had parents night out tonight. Sawyer made a gingerbread house and
ate gum drops and icing and who knows what else. Clearly he had a good
time. His gingerbread house is more of a candy coated Kleenex box...
But it truly made my night. Enjoy.

Our deck is in need of repair

This guy was highly recommended. (thanks aunt midge and uncle Tim for
the tool belt!)

Busted

I told Sawyer that he couldn't get out of bed again at nap time. So he
brought his toys to bed. Busted!

Sawyer-isms

Here are a few of my favorite new Sawyerisms:
His favorite song is the GNR version of Knockin on Heaven's Door. He likes saying "knock, knock, knock." It's super cute.
He calls Snuffy "No No Man." Since he has a big nose.
He pronounces his name "Loler."
He prefers to wear a jacket at all times. And, he likes to pop his collar.
He LOVES to brush his teeth.
He cheers for everyone when they potty now.
He has two speeds, dawdling and racing. When he races he likes to yell "go."
Apparently he needs half of a roll of toilet paper to wipe his nose. (see pictures below)

Halloween pics

Our introduction to Halloween in Oak Cliff was fun. It was a total circus. The sidewalks and streets were packed with kids. We had over 800 pieces of candy and ran out by 8:30. Sawyer had a blast, although he didn't seem to think it was different from any other day.

Happy Birthday Aunt Kelly!

18 month check up

Sawyer had his 18 month check up today. He is 31.5 inches tall (50th
percentile) and he weighs 21.5 lbs (5th percentile). Good news: more
avocado for Sawyer so he can put on a bit more weight before his 2
year appointment. Bad news: shots.

National peace day

Sawyer planted peas at preschool yesterday for national peace day. His
day care also joined schools across the globe singing a continual song
for peace.

Sawyer is officially a Dallasite

...or is the correct term Dallasian?

Home Stretch

Last night we let Sawyer cool off with some other kids in a fountain in Fort Collins, CO. It might have been the best night of his life. Tonight we're in Amarillo - just a half day's drive to Dallas. We're excited about sleeping in our new home tomorrow night.
