Thanksgiving Highlights!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here are my top ten from this year Thanksgiving...definately better than last year! =)

1) Having my first turkey in 6 years
2) Making a pumpkin pie (only had to call my moma once!)
3) Eating pumpkin pie with home made whipped cream
4) Talking to Zachio on the phone for 5 minutes about Curious George and tofurkey (thats long phone call for him)
5) Spending it with friends
6) Driving the corvette to get a pie shell
7) Watching Brett Favre throw 17 complete passes
8) Talking to my family and good friends
9) Sleeping on the coach
10) Spending 6 hours at Merryann's diner (no its not where I had T-day dinner- its a long story...) and learning not to trust out of order signs!

Hope your Thanksgiving was spectacular

Picaso or Emril?

Zach got his first paint with water book. And he loves it!

And we made cupcakes with strawberry frosting! Zachio enjoyed eating more than making - but who can blame him.

(Think Z was going for the plumber-cook look!)

Just got to smile!

Its been a while since I posted - apologies on that - but I got a few stories and pictures to share. So check back soon!

Last night Zach went to the potty. A relatively common occurance in the Zachio and Daddio household. After he rose from the toilet seat and I performed my fatherly duties (i.e. wiping is such a fun parental task =). Zach turns to me and comely states:

"I poop bigger than you!!"

I just smiled back at him trying not to encourage his potty humor or discussion. And I figure if I do a good job fathering, get him to eat all his veggies and ruffage - maybe one day he will poop bigger than me - for now I have that title!

Survining Halloween!

Zachio and Daddio had a great Halloween! We started at 8 am - the folks I work with are great - there is something so wholesome about walking around your place of employment wearing a zorro mask flanked by your adorable son dressed in a cute cute tiger custome and getting your colleagues to give you candy!

Here is a photo journal of our Halloween.

To be honest the jackolaterns really didn't survive - but the mold and decay made them even more menancing!

Zachio trying out his Tiger claws on the wall!

He had a pretty imprssive growl - must be the Nittany Lion coming out in him!

The loot!!! (He was very impressed with it!)



Thanks again Bubbe for the best Tiger get-up!
