Cal really thinks he is cool when he can wear sunglasses just like mommy. However, we go through many pairs of $5 wal-mart sunglasses this way. probably at least 2 or 3 a month... What can I say, the kid is like a scud missile, he can seak out sunglasses in purses, pockets of jackets, on top of counters, you name it!!! (plus, it doesn't help that mommy is really good at losing sunglasses, left on counters of gas stations, flower shops and grocery stores everywhere. if you need a pair, just follow me around and you will soon come upon a pair.)
Donations of sunglasses are gladly accepted, we are not too proud here!
Cal's best buddy is Ralphie, which unfortunately for Ralphie, means the brunt of most of cal's shenanigans and quite a few doggie bruises. It is not uncommon to hear cal laughing and poor ralph whimpering. we are trying to teach cal that he has to be nice to ralph, but ralphie usually lets him do so much, that by the time he actually starts to whimper, cal has already nearly pulled an ear or jowl off, or poked an eye out, so sometimes we are running so far behind that it is hard to really discipline cal and help him to see the harm he is doing. Here are the two of them, in one of those rare moments of love. I shouldn't say rare, cal is always loving and hugging on ralph, unfortunately, he usually just does that very roughly OR he does it so darn quick it is hard to capture on camera!
We were recently able to visit great grandma and great grandpa for one last showing of cal's costume and lucky cal, there were some fresh sugar cookies there...
Everyone knows grandma makes the BEST sugar cookies, and the frosting too!!! MMMMM
Cal polishing off some of his halloween treats for a snack after dinner...
proof that mommy and daddy aren't the ones drooling over most of the trick or treats in his pumpkin pail
then, as far as cal is concerned, there is always time for reading, while on the potty...
