Year 1, Week 19

We walked to the playground this week. Dad helped me down the stairs.



When we got to the playground I found a straw and a stick to play with. Dirty used straws are so awesome. I can't figure out why Mom took it away from me.



To make me feel better about the straw we went on the slide. Someone was super rude and left some wood chips on the platform. Look at them!



Then I went down the slide!



I also went on the swing. That was pretty awesome.




Then it was back to the slide. Except this time I wanted to go on the BIG slide.



Whoa. The big slide is really high up.



The big slide goes faster than the little one.



Whoa there big slide.



Okay, the big slide is pretty fun.



I also shook the chains when Dad stood on them.



I also played with the wood chips. They were pretty awesome.




The park is totally awesome.



Also this week, I sat on the couch. It was hilarious.



Next week we'll have some pictures of our visit to the pumpkin patch! Here is a preview. I love my pumpkin.

Year 1, Week 18

This week Mom and Dad took me out to Julian to pick some apples. We stopped to get bagels for breakfast, and the bagel place was out of regular milk so I got to have chocolate milk for the first time.



I drank that whole bottle. Mom and Dad have been holding out on me.

The place we went to was called Calico Ranch Orchard. Mom found it on the internet, and was surprised when she realized that it was the same place Dad took her when she first moved out to San Diego four years ago.



Oh hey, look, there's a lot of apples on the ground there.



LOOK! An apple RIGHT THERE.



We're supposed to be apple picking up, right?





Oh, apple PICKING. Not apple picking up. I see.





These two? These are mine. You probably don't want them anyway, I licked them.



APPLES!



Here's me and Mom with all our loot. I don't know why we're sitting on bales of hay, it's not like they need hay to feed the apples.



After apple picking we went to something called Oktoberfest in Julian. I don't know what that means, and Dad thinks maybe they don't know what it meant either, since they didn't have any German beer.



They had some good polka music though, so I danced and made some new friends.



I also raised the roof.



When we were walking back to the car Mom saw some sign about keeping control of your dogs because of the chickens. Then we had to go find the chickens!



I totally found that chicken. See, it's right there.



Here's a better look at the chickens. They were kind of funky.



Also in week 18:

-The Dodgers split the first two games with the Phillies



-I took this awesome picture of Dad doing the dishes

Year 1, Week 14

Will had his 15 month check up this week. The appointment ran long and Will got shots. Not a good combination. To help Will feel a little better about things, Lorne got him an ice cream cone. Since it's been about 5 years since we updated the blog, you may have forgotten that Will really likes ice cream.



Once he gets it in his mouth he has to hold his hand up to it to make sure none of the deliciousness comes out.



Ice cream. It's the best. We have no interest in this useless "cone" contraption.



VACUUM!!!!!



Also this week:

-laying on Dad



-brushing George's teeth



-brushing Mommy's teeth



-reading with Dad

Year 1, Week 13

Since we stopped trying to take a picture every day, our monthly totals of pictures taken are going down from 500-600 to 100-300. And that means that some weeks we don't take many pictures. In week 13 we only took...nine. And they're of Will doing three things.

Thing 1: Will eating goldfish out of his snackie cup



Thing 2: Will stuffing cars down the elevator shaft of his parking garage


Why are you looking at me like that? They want to go down the elevator shaft.

Thing 3: Will hugging it out with George



Will really likes to hug George. The feeling is most likely not mutual.
