my poor little conrad stinker pants is so snuffy. he's been congested and hacking up lungs. nothing serious, just one of those run of the mill colds that make even grown ups miserable. i have been sneaking his medicine in with a little juice today. he took it well at first, but now it comes right back out. and i've gotta say, i don't blame him. i tasted that stuff ....nasty! but just a little juice seemed to change the taste.....anybody know if that dilutes the power of the medicine??? i have no clue.

i went to babies r us yesterday and picked up two pairs of pants for connor. he has tons of play clothes for fall/winter, but i was really squeezing him into his church clothes the last few weeks. so i just got some khakis to make it through. koala clothes are great. they are nice looking and cheap.

after i got home i was going to post some cute pics of connor playing in one of his toy cubes. then my dad called and asked if he could drop by and wait for my mom. she had a dentist appt. so he was going to come to my house, go for a run, shower, and then they were headed out to dinner. my dad came over and proceeded to show connor how to shoot the pirate ship cannon at noah's ark. "he won't last 40 days and nights after we're done with him!!" he then shot cannon balls at the ark until noah got knocked off and there were gaping holes in the ark. it wasn't pretty when the elephant realized they were goin' down.

my dad was running by mike and nic's when mike spotted him. so nicole calls my dad's phone, which was of course on my couch, so i answered. she said to tell dad to stop at their house. well, he didn't go over there 5 minutes after she called so she came over to our house. as usual nathan was gone and everyone just happened to come over at the same time. and as usual, everyone bolted when they heard nathan was on his way home. yeah, i know the truth. you bunch of punks! ......totally kidding.... but it does seem to happen that way. so i gave my parentals a guilt trip and they stuck around to say hi. of course, 5 seconds before nathan pulled up, they were headed toward the door b/c they were SO hungry. if not for my mother's hummingbird size bladder they would have missed him. all i heard was, "we're so hungry! i'm starving! i'm old and i don't want to wait..." waaahhh! somebody call the wambulance!

after everyone left, it was time to cut connor's hair. nathan's closing everynight for the rest of the week at tpc and then he flies out saturday to start the tour. so i knew it was now or never. connor is getting WAY squirmy and it is getting pretty hard for nathan to do this, but i must say, i'm impressed. we did the "let connor play in the sink while we sneak cuts at his hair" trick. it worked pretty well.

tonight i have nursery duty so ace is going to hang out at aunt nic's with snuffaluffagus ava. they will make quite a pair tonight i'm sure.

retro rocket ready for blast off! faster, grampa!

over 100 years of work, gone in 10 seconds.

i took this pic b/c of my dad's shmoe hairdo (still wet from the shower), and ava's oreo stuffed face.

another haircut?? are you guys sure about this, 'cuz i'm thinking it's completely unneccesary.

this trick works every time....so far.

my son, the ham. he's been doing this "bashful" thing everytime he sees the camera's red eye light.

i put both b/c i thought it was so funny....ok and b/c i love this outfit. it's from my cousin nanette.
i can just hear him thinking, "oooh, camera time....everyone love me!"

the new 'do....with a normal smile. :)

ah, ha! i knew there was one more toy!

umph! where are all the toys? is there a secret compartment in here or something??
uh, connor, look at the floor. your toys are EVERYWHERE!
