Kirby's Newest Project

Kirby had decided to build Pearson a play set and he finally had enough time this to start on it. Here is what he was able to accomplish this weekend.

Picture of Pearson being silly.

Judging by how busy our schedules have become, we may have it finished by the time he starts Kindergarten.

Open 24 Hours, But Not All At Once

Pearson (P): Sticking his head out his playhouse window. "Dad, we are going to play restaurant. Come over here and order some food."
Kirby (K): "Okay"
P: "Hello, what would you like to eat?"
K: "I want a hamburger."
P: "Sorry, it's Saturday, we are closed! Come back tomorrow!" Slamming the window shut.

We borrowed a sled from our neighbors and after watching the video you will see why I made Kirby take it back and offer to buy them another one.

"What I Like About Snow" by Pearson

I like to catch one and play in it.

I like to run in it.

I like to step on your footprints in it.

And just because I just like it.

And just because I just do.

Here is Pearson with our very sad snowman. He is taller than Pearson and he has arms, but we never got around to giving him any facial features. Also, I think Oso ran off with his arms at least three times and they had to be replaced.

Kirby's Nightly Workout

Our Halloween

Kirby built a fire pit in the backyard...

while Pearson climbed our fence and told me to take his picture.

Pearson then dressed up like a pirate...

and went trick-or-treating with his friends.

Happy Halloween!

Saturday

I went to our church's consignment sale on Thursday. I just happened to find a great fireman cosutme for Pearson to wear this Halloween, it came with a coat and boots. So, Pearson has been wearing the boots everywhere. Here is a picture of him and Kirby outside Jersey Mike's wearing his new boots.

That evening we went to one of Kirby's job sites. He is building new locker rooms and stadium bathrooms for an private school in Atlanta named Pace Academy. The school was having a scrimage on their new football field and invited Kirby and some of his coworkers to come. Before the scrimage the football coach invited all the kids to come on the field and run drills with the football players. Pearson was excited just to walk on the field.

Once Pearson walked on the football field he was bored with the entire event. So, we went over to the construction site and let Pearson "drive" a few pieces of equipment. According to Pearson, driving tractors is a lot more fun than watching football.

Pearson being crazy, as usual

While waiting for the laser show, Pearson shot his bubble gun at all of us. Most of the time a little too close for comfort.

Blueberry Pickin'

We went to Berry Patch Farms Saturday to pick blueberries. Pearson had fun the first five minutes until he ate a blueberry. He didn't like it. He was then not interested in the picking. He was very patient while Kirby and I picked more blueberries then we will ever eat. We kept saying we were finished, then we would pass a branch loaded with ripe ones and we couldn't pass them up.

Doesn't everyone pick blueberries with an Easter bucket?

So sad because his hands are dirty with blueberry juice.

Just a Cute Picture to Share

And We Are Golfing Again

Happy Father's Day!

Here are two pictures I took of Kirby and Pearson today at lunch. Pearson was so sweet! He would say, "I love you, Dad.", "Happy Father's Day, Dad.", and "I'm sitting by my Dad!" So, I had to take a picture. The first picture is good of Kirby, but Pearson looks a little crazy. The second picture caught Kirby talking and Pearson looking a whole lota crazy. (Note to self: Never again tell a two year old to smile at the camera.)

Things To Do When You Are Sick

Pearson had a fever this weekend and was complaining of a sore throat. He was a little fussy from time to time, but otherwise seemed fine. We were all a little stir-crazy by Sunday afternoon. So, we HAD to figure out something to do to pass the time. We decided to ride the golf cart to the golf course and let Pearson and Oso run off some energy.

Things To Do When You Are Sick #1: Laugh at Oso.

Things To Do When You Are Sick #2: Run in circles, jump, and scream at random things on the course.

Things To Do When You Are Sick #3: Find golf balls.

Things To Do When You Are Sick #4: Taunt Oso with said golf ball.

Things To Do When You Are Sick #5: Walk with Daddy and Oso.

Things To Do When You Are Sick #6: Look at how happy Oso is.

Things To Do When You Are Sick #7: Check out the scenery.

Pearson Learning the Art of Manipulation

This morning Kirby was picking on Pearson by grabbing and tickling Pearson's stomach. Pearson looks at Kirby with a concerned look on his face and says, "Dad, don't be mean to me, I'm just your little boy."

~~~~~~~~~~

Later on in the morning Pearson has just gotten in trouble for rolling out almost the entire roll of toilet paper. Pearson once again looks at Kirby with a concerned look on his face and says, "Dad, don't be mad at me, I'm just a little boy."

Saturday Fun

We actually had an entire day for all three of us to just hang out around the house! (You almost don't know what to do with yourself when it happens.) Here are some pictures and videos of us playing outside. I don't know who is more excited in some of the pictures, Pearson or Oso.
