Yep, that's snow. It'll melt by morning, but October 27th is still way too early to have snow on the ground in my book.

#295

Sunday the pumpkins were unveiled. Mine is the hard one not cut.

#294

Saturday we went to pick our pumpkins for a carving party that night.

#293

Medicine for an ear infection for our baby boy.

#292

Thursday I got my new issue.

I find it funny, because two issues ago they gave me a "end of subscription" notice, and I never renewed it.

Oh well. The magazine is good, so I'll take it.

This is the front of the house where my wife works. The law firm is set up in a gorgeous old house here in town.

Sorry it's a horrible photo, but I had like two seconds to take it, worried I'd get caught and make her look stupid.

Tuesday we got this at the library. Anybody who has ever dealt with this book knows it's an unwieldy sonofabitch. Stuff starts popping up everwhere and doesn't want to shut.

Avoid it if you can.

Banana!

#288

The boys sharing some peanut butter crackers on Sunday.

As Jude told Mommy, he was putting "protein" on the crackers.

#287

Saturday.

This is just a simple photo of a Walgreens. What makes it special to me is that I'm taking the picture from my car in the parking lot of a CVS Pharmacy.

That's right, two pharmacies across from each other.

#286

Olive Garden for dinner Friday night.

Yum.

#285

My boy got a much needed haircut today.

He looks very handsome.

#284

The boys made these spooky yard ghost decorations at daycare. Anybody walking past our yard on Wednesday had a good fright!

#283

Earlier this year I took a photo of this bush when it was green. Now, in October, it's burning. A beautiful red.

#282

Good Grief! Monday already?

#281

The aftermath of a good first birthday. New toys and new clothes to be washed.

#280

Saturday our guy turned one.

#279

Friday our little guy had a birthday party at daycare, and garnered mucho toys.

Which leads to this photo. Anybody else have to deal with children's toys in the last four years? They've gone overboard on these damn ties to hold the toys in the box. It takes ten minutes sometimes to get a toy car out of the box nowadays.

Back when I was a kid, you tore the box opened and played. Now you have to wait for daddy to untie it.

#278

Can't really tell from this photo from Thursday, but the little guy is standing on his own two feet now.

#277

This hotel in Indianapolis was the sight of our company meeting today. My usual day off turned into a three hour trip there, six hours of meeting, and a three hour trip home.

But hey, our benefits are not going up at all this year, which is some kind of miracle.

#276

Tuesday I passed this beautiful little cemetary again coming home from work. I pass it every now and then when I have to travel to Plymouth. There's something about old cemetaries that gets to me.

#275

These are directions for finding a store in Kokomo. Monday I got the call that I was needed to help out by working in Kokomo tomorrow.

Trust me, the Beach Boys song was way off. You don't want to go way down to Kokomo.

#274

Sunday the wife and kids decorated for Halloween.

#273

Saturday I got a free sleeve of ice cream from work for the baby's upcoming birthday. Hope you like Colts Touchdown Sundae, Grandma.

#272

Friday morning the little guy barely slept at all. Up from two on. He went off to daycare feeling a bit better, but that didn't last. Had to bring him home early as he still had his fever. This Fever Reader is a blessing for kids. You don't have to stick a thermometer in the ear, under the arm, in the mouth, or in the butt (my mom did all, in that order; I was just happy butt came after mouth because that is just nasty). You just put it right on the hot head.

He's better now, thankfully.

#271

The little guy wasn't feeling well Thursday. A fever and a stuffy nose.

#270

A yummy snack on Wednesday. One of the finest cereals out there today.
