Trick or Treat!

Halloween was a big day this year. Eli went trick or treating at RDO Equipment earlier in the day with all of the kids at daycare. Then, he hit up the senior citizens in Fargo for even more candy with his cousin Grace! The folks at the nursing home really seemed to get a kick out of them. Our "real" camera had a dead battery, so these are a bit blurry. I had to use the camera function on our video camera instead. Anyway, you get the idea.

Halloween at Daycare

This was a lot of fun for Rebecca and I. Our daycare providers hooked us up with a CD with a ton of great photos of Eli and the other kids at daycare playing in the park and trick-or-treating at the RDO Equipment Offices.

The Pumpkin Patch

This is Eli's second year at the Pumpkin Patch in Glyndon, MN. He has lots of fun there, and this year his cousin, Grace, Aunt Andrea, Uncle Andrew, Grandma and Grandpa came along. Eli got to look at animals, shovel corn, ride a tractor train, go on a horse-drawn wagon through the "not-too-scary forest" and talk to a cowboy!

Late Summer Stuff

Here are some pictures from the end of summer.

Dad's Proud

Eli is developing his comedic ability. Last night he made up his first fart joke:

(Sung to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")

Farted, Farted, Farted, Toot
Farted, Farted, Farted, Toot
Farted, Farted, Farted, Toot
Farted, Farted, Farted, Toot
Farted, Farted, Farted, Toot
Farted, Farted, Farted,
Tooooooooooooot.

Master of tricycling

Early in the spring/summer, Eli had to push himself along with his feet when he rode his trike (or motorcycle as he calls it). A couple of weeks ago, Eli figured out the pedals. Watch!

Some new pictures

Popcorn and counting

If watching a family repeatedly counting to five while eating popcorn at the table sounds exciting, have we got a video for you:

Ooh Ah Ooh Ah WHOOOOOA!

Yesterday was Eli's 2nd birthday. We started the day with his favorite breakfast--eggs--and paged through the Sears Lawnmower Catalog. He seriously cannot get enough of that thing. He loves looking at the tractors. Anyway, his favorite new joke came about the other night. I was telling him that I had to fix our breezeway door before he could open and close it... while I explained this to him I broke into a little sing-song type of thing that went like this: "Daddy gonna fix it. Daddy gonna fix it. Oooh, Ah. Oooh Ah. WHOOOOOA!" It's been Eli's favorite joke ever since.
