Happy Thanksgiving

Holiday inspired art. The camera was forgotten this year.

A Visit to the Dentist

Now that's tired!

A recent trip to the dentist to fix a filling in his tooth and Jacob fell asleep waiting for the Novocain to set in. I wish I could fall asleep that easy. The dental assistants thought it was pretty cute and kept looking in on him. He is the best patient ever:)

More Halloween Pictures

Jacob did most of the dissecting. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product.

The Aftermath

After the trick or treating was over I asked Jacob what was his favorite part of Halloween and his reply was the glow sticks. As a Dietitian it was good to hear that candy did not make the top of the list. Fast forward to this morning at 6 AM, I had a child crying at my bedside and the only thing I could understand was chemicals and eyes. As I got to my feet I realized Jacob had broke open his glow stick and it sprayed into his eyes. Michael and I got him to the bathroom and rinsed his eyes with water but trying to keep Jacob's eyes open was a challenge. I should have realized with a Mad Scientist as a kid that I would need an eye wash station in my own home.

Halloween on the Venice Canals

This is how Venice does Halloween. These are 2 homes on the Venice Canals. Our neighbor Linda told us about this display and we headed out to see it. Well worth the trip.

This is the home owner. Obviously a nice guy because he does this every year. Must love kids.

Happy Halloween!

School Halloween Parade

Thanks to my awesome neighbor Linda who remembered to take her camera, took these fabulous pictures of Jacob and his friends today. I was running (literally) from work to be there on time and totally forgot about a camera. I was late for most of the parade but managed to see Jacob's class take their turn around the track for the parade.

School Picture

Jacob has figured out how to smile on cue and I think this is his best school picture so far.
