Dinner sure must have been good! ;-)

Irmo Okra Strut

And you ask what the heck is the Irmo Okra Strut?! Well a nearby town has a festival devoted just to okra. Fabulous, huh?! And Trey, Henry, and I spent a morning at the festival parade.

"Are all okra that BIG!"



"Forget the okra! Give me some lollipops!"




"A little rain won't stop this parade!"

More Fun at the Zoo

It is not an exaggeration when I say that we get our money's worth out of our zoo membership. We use it a LOT! Luckily most of our friends have memberships as well so it is fun to all meet there for a change of scenery.

Mommy and Henry riding (Henry's exact words) the "CHOO CHOO"...



Carousel time...



Rounding up the very mobile kiddos for this group picture was a task!



Henry got to feed the giraffes for the first time on this trip to the zoo. He thought that was HILARIOUS! He fed them lettuce although several times I had to stop Henry from trying to eat it first. :-) He loved feeling the giraffe's tongue (gross!) and would stick his whole hand in the giraffe's mouth to give him the lettuce. Purel anyone?! ;-)

Happy Halloween...

...from Superman and his Mommy and Daddy! Hope you got all treats and no tricks! :-)



"What are we waiting for?! Put the camera down and take me to the candy!"



"Trick or treat!"

(And yes, Trey is wearing shorts and it is the last day in October. The high on Halloween day was 81 degrees! Sorry Chicago family!)



"You should see all of the candy I got! WHOA!"

Pumpkin Carving

Last week Henry and I visited a pumpkin patch to pick out the absolute perfect pumpkin for us. She was a beauty! ;-)

We invited one of the neighborhood kids to help us carve our pumpkin.



Henry tasted everything he scooped out of that pumpkin. Coralyn, our neighborhood friend, said "Henry sure will eat ANYTHING!" :-)



Superman showing off the final product...

Boo at the Zoo

One night last week Trey and I took Henry to our Boo at the Zoo. Henry was still getting over a cold so he was in a pretty mellow mood but the night was gorgeous and we had a wonderful time!

They had stations set up throughout the zoo where sponsors were giving away candy or little trinkets. Here is Superman patiently waiting his turn...



Daddy teaching Henry, I mean Superman how to perfectly roast a marshallow. ;-)



BOO!



I finally learned how to upload videos (Thanks Trey!) so here is one of Henry before we left for the zoo. By the way, please ignore my obnoxious voice on here. ;-)

A Necessity for Every Little Boy

A tool bench! Henry loves, loves, loves this Home Depot tool bench that I purchased at a consignment sale. His Daddy and I have since realized why someone would want to sell such a wonderful toy. It is loud and obnoxious! On second thought maybe that is why Henry likes it so much! ;-)



Safety first Henry!
