Can you guess who???

Pumpkin Head

Jayson like to assemble and disassemble our string of pumpkin and ghost lights. Of course, he like to assemble and disassemble most things.

Chalk Wash

The rain of this week has washed away the art of last week. Today it feels like fall.

P.S. Did you notice that my body is made out of a heart?

Out of my wallet

I've been carrying around this card for over a year.

Jacob had his surgery today to have the above listed medical device removed. We took some candid pics on his camera getting cap and gown on. I guess it is a sort of graduation. When all the medical personnel started coming in and reviewing stuff, the smiles were gone and his worries stressed him out. It was tough going in to surgery. The procedure went well. He came out of anesthesia without any complications. He immediately started asking when he could go home and when he could get some lunch. He saved his biggest smiles for when all the wires and tubes were removed and he was being wheeled out to the car in the wheelchair. That was our funnest ride home from the hospital/clinic/outpatient surgery center.

He no longer needs to go to the oncologist monthly to have his port accessed and flushed. I'm so grateful that he doesn't need it any more.

Check out his sentence for the vocabulary word "survivor." Definition: someone or something that stayed alive.

P.S. His use of "voyage" is cute too.

For Dad

My Dad may be the only person who watches these video clips. That's okay. You are all invited to watch.

This final clip is brought to you by the Chipmunks. I tend to be quite patient the first time or two that Jayson makes a discovery. But you can see that he likes doing the same thing over and over. I was certainly irritated when he was trying to lift the glass blender off the countertop this morning.

Today he dumped the remaining third of the Palmolive all over his feet & pants that were in the kitchen sink. He was sitting on the narrow ledge between the sink and the drop to the tile. I've moved heavy kitchen chairs back to the table three times already. I'm actually surprised that he doesn't just grab the closest chair. He gets them from the far side and pulls them around the table and into the kitchen area. I had to put my paint project in the microwave so it could dry without little fingerprints, but I am concerned that Jayson was just pushing buttons on the microwave. He go the fan on, but so far hasn't cooked my metal pan and paint supplies. I should have gone to the gym. I would get less tired there than staying home to recoup from my cold.
