Learning to Fly

We took a short helicopter ride while on vacation. Luke has always been obsessed with flying things so this was especially cool for him.

I have found the video again except this time it is on Google video. Still very, very sad.

Wild Thing

This is my favorite childrens book. I bought it several weeks after Luke was born and we have been reading it quite frequently to him before bed. (along with several hundred other books he keeps beside the bed)I never put too much into interpreting the book until I read this.  

My favorite childrens book growing up was Where The Wild Things Are. Luke has enjoyed it a lot too. So much so that I asked my mother to make him a wolf suit of his own for Halloween. Now we knew that most people wouldn't get it and that it would seem odd but I knew that he would get a real kick out of being "The King of All Wild Things" for at least one night. My mom did an awesome job with the costume and we all had a blast. A true "Wild Rumpus" was had by all. The following posts are our renditions of the first three pages of the book. Maybe I should have Luke pose out each page for our own version.

his mother called him "WILD THING!"
and Luke said "I'LL EAT YOU UP!"
so he was sent to bed without eating anything. 

Luke got a little upset when he thought we had dressed him up in his costume, only to leave him at CC's house. He didn't know that she was coming with us. 

Luke and Eli had a great time at the church trunk-or-treat festival last Sunday. Lots of cotton candy, running, jumping in the moonwalk, and sliding on the big inflatable slide. My mother pointed out that this was funny because of the "Fox in the henhouse" reference. 

I think Eli had one too many candy corn in this picture. 

Luke ran into his favorite superheroes ( and fellow nursery buddies) at the festival too. 

"All right, who has the candy around here?" 

Man on a mission for candy. This is his game face.
