Blocks are the Best

Uncle Ryan brought Paul some new Mega Blocks to add to his collection, including some "puhple" ones (they seem to be the favorite so far- as you can tell in this picture).

Paul created quite the construction this evening and was very proud of his work. Mommy was maybe more proud that he helped to put them all away at bedtime!

Cooking (and eating) with daddy

Here are some pictures mommy had from a few days ago- Paul helped daddy grill some hamburgers (wearing his favorite "mi mi's"- mommy's flip flop oven mitts, which he wears whenever we're using the grill or oven so that he can "help").

And then Paul helped Daddy eat some halloween-colored cupcakes (most of which went back to college with Uncle Ryan).

Uncle Ryan comes to visit

Uncle Ryan came to visit us this weekend. We had a good time playing golf outside, grilling hamburgers, and as you can see here playing with the Curious George jack-in-the-box.

Happy Halloween!

What a halloween it's been for the Redferns. All three of us have spent the week quite sick- we must have eaten a nasty cold/throat/congestion/cough candy rather than Reese's... and clearly ate more than one.

So although Paul didn't get to do any trick-or-treating on Friday night, he got to wear his costume to the dr's office Friday afternoon. And his "treat" was a 10-day doseage of ammoxicillin for an ear infection.

Paul has rebounded quite quickly (can we all please have some of the energy which two-year olds have?). Since it took mommy more than four hours to sew Paul's costume (which says more about my lack of sewing skills!), she forced Paul to take a picture with her in his costume before heading to a halloween party in Gram and BB's neighborhood.

What Bumblebees can do

Paul had the opportunity to wear his halloween costume many times over the past two weeks.

Did you know that Bumblebees can...

Eat Cookies.....

Cook meals on the grill.....

Make funny faces while wearing oven mittens (which happen to look like flip flops)....

Carry pumpkins really fast...
