The pallet on the right is Cool Whip. Every freezer has multiple pallets of just whipped topping right now, getting ready for the holiday.

Taking my photo blog on the road, people!

This is why I love Target stores. They are as anal about cleanliness as me. Look at this freezer! Every other store has shelves with boxes and pallets everywhere. Not Target.

Made my first pie today.
And by made, I mean I took the frozen pumpkin pie out of the Sara Lee box and baked it.
Still good though.

Sunday our baby boy decided to take a nap during dinner.

Saturday I bought this little toy ninja out of a vending machine at the store for a quarter. Just a little treat for my son because he always wants to put money into the machine.

It's amazing how something this small, that probably costs a dime to make at most, can bring so much happiness to a young boy.

The boy brought this project home from daycare Friday.

A cute turkey. Cute on my plate in a few weeks.

#313


Thursday I taught the boy how to play "War" on this very deck of cards.

Wednesday's photo has been censored by my executive committee (the wife).

She felt it was too crude, too crass, too vulgar for public viewing.

So this is the picture instead.

This pile of things is Kimberly's Mt. Everest.

But she'll climb it in due time.

The right side of the house on Monday, before the Operation gets to it. Note that beautiful full bush, that turned a vibrant blazing red, is now bare.

#309



A good start to the Operation on Sunday. These are from the left side and the front of the house. First year I'm trying the curbside pickup. Usually just mulch and bag them.

#308



Saturday I noticed our tree was bare. Time to begin "Operation Get These Damn Leaves Of My Lawn".

(photo not taken Saturday)

Friday the boy made this awesome Thanksgiving project at daycare.

#306



Thursday morning my wife found our oldest boy in the crib reading.

This is where we keep our keys.

(keeping Buildings on Wednesdays going!)

Election day was very fuzzy here in the Midwest.

Obama!

Autumn sunset.

Took the boys trick-or-treating at my Mom's house Sunday, since she didn't get to see them on Halloween. You can almost see Sully behind Jude's big head.

Last night's haul.

#300


Happy Halloween! An absolutely gorgeous day.

We found this adorable stray puppy on the road. Think we'll keep him.


We're off to see the Wizard, and he better have some candy for me!

This is why I'll never grow a mustache. If you ever see me out in public like this, please put a bullet into my head as I've already lost my sanity.

I couldn't even take this picture with the wife being home. That's how much she hates this look (and rightfully so).

This is the absolute happiest I could ever look with a mustache.

Continuing our "Buildings on Wednesdays" theme here, this is the main branch of our library in downtown.

I really wanted to get a wide shot of downtown, to show the big city here, but there was too much traffic for anything but this.

#297



Our oldest boy made this cool (I mean, scary) bat at daycare for the house Tuesday.
