what can I say... he loves the classics

I have always said that I wouldn't let my kids watch Barney, Blues Clues, Teletubbies and about 15 other annoying children's shows that I can think of.
Simply because I can't stand them.
Everybody told me that when Porter found his favorite show I wouldn't be able to stop him, and I would have to give up my policy. I'm happy to say that's only partly true. No, I can't stop him... he's picked his favorite. I'm just glad that he has chosen wisely, and responds to the classics.

He loves Looney Tunes... loves them all... Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, Sylvester and Tweety Bird... oh, and he laughs hysterically every time that Daffy Duck falls down a hill as Robin Hood.

Even though he doesn't get to watch them as often as he would like, it's the first thing he asks for in the morning and about every 10 minutes until he goes to bed. But, when he does get to watch them... I sit down and watch too.

Good call sweetie.

today... alphabetically

Awoke at 7:30 after 10 hours of sleep... a personal best, I don't remember the last time that happened.

Blue eyes - I've been working on capturing them all day. Both boys have beautiful blue eyes, and I've wanted to catch it on camera. (pictures will be up later)

Costco... went with Jill... spent just enough (it's too easy to spend too much there).

Dishes, washed and put away.

Enchiladas... it's what's for dinner.

Folded laundry.

German chocolate brownies... left over from last night's dinner with Jill and Kenny.

Hiccups - Bridger got them really bad... I think he's got my genes in there.

Instead of Enchilada's, we had leftovers - hubby got home too late.

Jumping off the couch... me or Porter, I'll let you guess who.

Kick - Bridger kicks his legs when he's excited. Sometimes just the one... the right one.

Lemonade- bought huge bottles of Lemon juice at Costco just for this. I love homemade lemonade.

Made homemade stationary from loads of unused scrapbook supplies... it's coming for you Lainey!

Naps... both boys at the same time, doesn't happen too often.

Opened mail - I love getting letters... much more so than bills.

Pulling himself up... Bridger's been hard at work on it all day.

Quail - passed several on our little drive.

Rained... loved to smell it, hated driving in it.

Swept and mopped my kitchen floor.

"TunnO's" or "Toenails": what I hear on a constant basis from Porter... it's what he calls Looney Tunes, and that's all he wants to watch.

Undaunted - read another chapter, great book.

Vitamins - bought some, took some.

Wind, and lots of it.

XOXOXO - gave and received lots of hugs and kisses... many of them from the bear and Eskimo and butterfly varieties.

Yosemite Sam - Porter won and got to see his "TunnO's"

Z's : what I hope to catch more of.

This past weekend, Gramma and Papa M. came to visit.
We worked on Porter calling them Papa and Gramma. He caught on to Papa very well, and it sounds like Papa... but Gramma was a little harder for him to say. Some how it started coming out sounding like Foie gras. And that's what he called her all weekend.
We headed out to the Mountain Meadow Massacre Monument (try saying that ten times fast). It was a beautiful day for a nice drive and it was interesting going out to the monument.Papa shared some suckers with Porter. Which ends up a little less like sharing and more like giving them to him... turns out that if you give him a lick, he'll take the whole thing. But, in his defense, he offered everyone a lick of his sucker in return.
Bridger enjoying some kisses from Papa.
That night when we got home, we stopped at the local store and bought pumpkins to carve. The local grocery store had a sale on pumpkins. The original price was 79 cents/lb down to 14 cents/lb. We bought Kyle a pumpkin that originally would have been a $23 pumpkin for $4 ... and his was the priciest of them all.
I couldn't believe how cheap they were.When we brought them home, Porter was pretty delighted with his pumpkin, and since he could barely carry it, he put it on the floor and rolled it over to sit with Papa.
However, he wasn't too sure what to think when we started hacking into it and asked him to pull out the guts.
He took a good long look inside the pumpkin and then turned to his Daddy and said, "nope".
So Kyle ended up carving his.

Sorry no photos of the results... I have to buy some tea candles first so that you can see them... Kyle is something of a pumpkin carving expert and did an immaculate job on both his and Porter's. My Momma carved Briggs one and it turned out darling. Mine on the other hand was a little interesting... and yesterday Bridger pulled out one of it's eyes. I think I need a redo.
It was a great weekend and it was so fun to have Gramma and Papa to share it with.
We enjoyed having you down, please come again!

if a regular picture is worth a thousand words,

how much do you think I can get for this one?Courtesy of Gerber Biter Biscuits... the kid loves them.

These two make me grin.
My Momma asked for some brother pictures a while ago, and to prove that I'm working on them, we tried an impromptu photo shoot last night. One where Porter got to hold Bridger... and boy did he hold Bridger. He was told to hold him and not let him fall (they're sitting on top of a rock in our backyard) and Porter took his job very seriously. In fact, he took it so seriously that I only got a couple of Porter smiling. He was concentrating so hard on not letting Bridger fall that he wouldn't smile much.
Bridger couldn't contain his excitement. Every time he turned around and saw who was holding him he'd belt out a pretty good belly laugh.
Briggs sure likes his older brother... laughs at him all the time.
And Porter gets pretty excited whenever he gets to help do anything with his little brother "Budja Budja"
Such cute little brothers.
