Batman!

The relentless pursuit for Superhero Costume #2 finally ended in victory. Since Owen was Superman last year, we wanted to continue the trend with a superhero again this year. However, my attempts to find A boy costume of any sort in Owen's size, let alone a *superhero* one, was IMPOSSIBLE! I looked everywhere (Target, Old Navy, Fred Meyer, Party City, Spirit Halloween, Disney Store, Pottery Barn Kids, etc) to no avail (okay, I DID find a french fries one in his size but wasn't about to spring $99.95 for that one). So we gave up. Then today, we went to Toys'R'Us and I dug through the costume section and came out with that turtle guy from Wonder Pets (one of my personal favorite kid shows at least). As we wandered through the store, I managed to find a tagless batman costume tucked away in a shelf of dress up clothes! And it rang up at $9.99! So here you have it, Batman! (Oh and I haven't even attempted to put the mask/headdress on yet. Not only would Owen not likely tolerate it, but I'm fairly certain it would not fit on his gargantuan noggin.)

Track-TOR!

The extent to which Owen LOVES tractors (and any thing remotely resembling them, i.e. construction equipment, all-terain vehicles, jeep wranglers) is indescribable. Owen calls his ATV a tractor.

My Rock

Ooooo! Rock! I shall call him Rocco and he shall be mine!

I will push Rocco around the block and show him the sights!

When I get tired, he will let me ride with him!

And we will live happily ever after!

Playing with a Drinking Fountain: $5

We went to a large indoor play area full of inflatable bounce houses and slides. Owen spent about 90% of his time there playing with the tot-sized drinking fountains. Great use of his $5 admission fee.

Girl?

Owen's hair is getting SOOOO long. We should cut it... We should.

 

 

How cool am I?

Pumpkin Patch Trip #1

I am sure we'll visit many pumpkin patches this year. Roloff Farms was the first - the farm featured on the TLC series Litte People, Big World.

How does Owen NOT have this shirt?
