Gobble Gobble !

Ok it is Thanksgiving again. Seems like it was yesterday. Last year Dylan was only 4 months and we were in Cochran. He do not know what the heck was going on. He was being pass around, kiss here and there by strangers he dont know at all. Oh well it was just his daddy's family admiring him for his looks.

This year we stayed in Houston not because we want to but we have to. Mike and I have to work which is not fun. On Thanksgiving day I woke up late, Dylan and Mike was at the kitchen, His daddy was feeding the little rascal. As they were both watching the parade on tv. As we were planning the night before to watch the parade live, oh well that didn't happen.

Dylan took a long nap during the day while I savor my little peace and quiet time around the house. Ok it is quiet but I am not just lounging and watching tv all day. I am making some pecans and cleaning the kitchen at the same time.

To me it is just another day off, another excuse to do some stuff around the house and hang out with my "little buddy" !

As soon as I am feeling tired and wanting to get some needed rest, I heard the little monster crying. Oh boy, Dylan is up. Not only he's up, but he is cranky, crabby and crying ! Yeah the 3 C' s of toddler's life. Welcome to my world.....

So I took him outside as he was pointing at our door. Took him out and Dylan is still cranky. Sat him on my lap and still cranky. He want something else. Finally he showed me what he really wants..... As i followed him, dylan took me to the garage and pointing at our SUV. Now i get it. This little monster wants to go driving.

It fascinates me how Dylan at his early age already knows what he wants and what he doesn't. But where will I take him? For christ sake it is Thanksgiving day and almost all strores are close.

I gave in and we went to get a $1 movie at redbox rental at Mcdonalds. There's not really much to choose from. It's a long weekend for some so all the new release and good movies are out. Dylan dont have to pick a movie, he does not know that yet so I picked "The Wild" . There is not much to say but the Koala Bear is my favorite, he is so funny ! Dylan did not watch it a lot. As we got back home, he is sleepy again for some reason and wants his milk. Lay him down and fall asleep.

Happy Halloween


Saturday was hectic day. We celebrate Halloween a bit earlier since I am working late on the 31st. We went to Kemah for their annual "boo at the Kemah boardwalk". It was so much fun. This year Dylan gets to be the "tiny ninja" . He looks so adorable with it. Last year he was a "batman". Time fly by so fast, last year Dylan was just a tiny "nut" and now he's as handful as he can be. Did'ne get lots of candies but I made sure I got a couple of "suckers" for him. That day when Dylan gets to taste his first candy. We gave him one, he licks and drools. I sucker down and he wants more ! But of course Mike being around, one was enough.

It was very crowded at the boardwalk. The kids looks very adorable and cute with different costumes they have on. Dylan spotted pumpkins and he took the tiniest one that he can hold. There were other ones but it was so heavy and huge. There was one huge pumpkins in the middle where everyone can guess how much it weighs.

Our dinner was at Joe'sCrab. It was good. Dylan was kept busy by watching the table next to us with 3 young boys. At least they keep him entertain. He loves the ccorn bread and almost anything we fed him that night. There's this lady too that makes balloons into different shapes. We got Dylan a "black cat" just because it was Hallloween. Turns out he bites it and later pop it.
