October 29th, 2011 gave us a few inches of snow to start off the season. It was gone by the next day but provided enough powder for Scott and the kids to enjoy a fun little Saturday morning romp
in the backyard.

Fall Pictures...
It's time to update the photos on the wall, so I took the kids out for a photo shoot. They did pretty well considering the trouble maker below...

The reward for looking cute for the camera is play time at the park on a lovely Pittsburgh day

A Dozen Leaves and a Box of Rocks
This is how Felix shows his affection for me...leaves and rocks and feathers. Whenever he is out and about, he picks up the leaves he thinks I'll like and gives them to me. At school during recess, he fills his pockets with rocks and hands them to me when he gets home. I am constantly removing pebbles from the dryer lint trap. If a feather is on the ground...sometimes only a small bit of fluff...he gives it to me. He's very tender. And then other times, like tonight, he says things like, "Ewww! Your breath smells like Ruby's (the dog we don't have anymore)! Ewww! Your breath smells like pizza that's been sitting out for 22 days!"Thanks, buddy.

Car Ride Conversations
Daphne: .Rex...Rex...Rex...Rex...Rex...Rex...Rex...Rex...Rex...Rex!...Rex!!...REX!!
Rex: What?????!!!!!
Daphne: (High pitched scream...then a maniacal laugh)
Rex: What do I look like, a nit wit?
Felix: No, worse. You look like a goon.
Felix: (in Squidward's voice) I am in misery. Everyone is stinkin' except for me. Spongebob, if I had every one of your brains, you would have none.
Rex: What?????!!!!!
Daphne: (High pitched scream...then a maniacal laugh)
Rex: What do I look like, a nit wit?
Felix: No, worse. You look like a goon.

Memories...
Felix is such an old soul sometimes. Today he said, "Noah (friend from school) and I like to talk about our memories." Of course, the memory he was telling us about that he says they talk about frequently is when Rex took his clothes off revealing his undie clad body at Felix's birthday party. I guess he is still a kid at heart.

Funny Boys
I never imagined my boys would enjoy The Lawrence Welk Show, but discovered tonight that they do. I walked in on them beating each other up the the sound of a crooner singing "Chicago". It turns out, they decided to play "Tom and Jerry" to the music. When the music stops, the violence stops, when the music starts, they start whacking each other with imaginary frying pans. Try it out...
In other news, Rex was playing outside in the rain and came in with wet hair. I spiked it up with my fingers and told him he looked awesome. He acted like he didn't appreciate what I did, but disappeared upstairs for a while. He came down with his hair full of hair product and proudly showed me he had fixed his hair. He told me not to worry because he didn't use big "glumps" of hair goop...he spread it around. He also demonstrated how he closed his eyes while using the spray. He looked great. Shortly thereafter, Felix needed a bang trim, so I took him out to do that. He said he didn't want short hair, just a little off the front. He said, " I like the way I look now." Rex said, "I like my hair short so that I can feel the breeze. Can you feel the breeze with long hair, Felix?"
