Schnoogie Doogie Puddin' Pie

I love this kid!
Lately he has started writing notes to Mike and I. When he writes the word "I," he writes it the way he says it..."Iee."

And the kid bounces constantly. Add this and a serious case of clumsiness, and you have ridiculously frequent shrieks of pain and Andrew writhing on the floor. Honestly, I am not quite sure how it happens....the other night Mike and I were sitting at the kitchen table with him and in a split second he was off the chair and on the floor, hugging his shin AND his head and crying about how they both got whacked on the leg on the table. Mike and I looked at each other like "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" Or he dances straight into the back door. Or runs around the corner and slams into the wooden arm of the couch. Or is standing in the middle of the kitchen and while doing his constant hop - twists an ankle and falls down. You get the point.

Every time I hear the shriek I can't help but start laughing. He is definitely a crier. But I love him. What a crazy nut.

I know, I know

The question on everyone's mind is "DID she end up drowning in the filth?!"

Well, it was close. Luckily a Christmas away in Utah to get rejuvenated, and then almost two weeks following with no other responsibilities allowed me to dominate the filth and win! (For probably a week. Sneaky household. I swear there are elves who create dirty laundry while I'm sleeping at night.)

Anyway - time to get going again. Here are some pics from an outing Thanksgiving weekend that we highly enjoyed. Now you can enjoy.
