dinner convo

Connor has already eaten and joins us at the table while we eat.

Connor: Can I have a fork to play with?

Sabrina: No, you don't need a fork to play with at the table.

Connor: Dad, can I have a fork to play with?

Dad: No.

Connor: Okay, I'll start this again...Can I have a fork to play with?

I got up and got him a fork. He earned it.

Rock Musician In The Making

Connor's song lyrics when he's ornery and thinks no one is listening:

The wheels on the bus go shut up shut shut up

Shut up shut up shut up.

The wheels on the bus go I don't like you I don't like you I don't like you.

trick or treating

Connor got to go trick or treating with his friend, Jaden this year and he loved it. At first, he would knock on the door while saying Trick or Treat and then not say anything when someone would answer the door. After a (very short) while, Connor decided that his bucket was too heavy and would pass it off to Jaden to carry. Funny enough, Jaden didn't mind. We kept telling him that he didn't need to do that, but Jaden would take it every time. It was cute to see the boys and how well they got along.

pumpkin carving

here are some pics of connor carving his pumpkin this year. he specifically designed that face on the pumpkin based on some choices that matt gave him.

Halloween Party

Connor's school had a halloween party for all the kids last week. Here are some pics of him there.

at the park

matt took connor to the park yesterday. apparently there was a little girl close to his age there, swinging on a swing. connor walks away from matt and turn his hat around so it's on backwards, then goes and sits on a swing that is 2 over from the little girl. he's just swinging and looking the the girl, trying to be nonchalant. matt comes up to connor since the swings are pretty big and connor can still fall off them. connor tells matt, "go away dad" a couple of times. evnetually the little girl leaves and connor moves over and starts swinging on her swing.
