pic 1 Mama created a night of Halloween in our basement!

pic 1 We pulled out our costumes…

pic 1 Whoa!! Papa’s a little too scary for me…I’m outta here!

pic 1 Maybe I’ll give this scary mask a try!

pic 1 I even got kissed by a DARK ANGEL—

pic 1 wearing glittery sunglasses and laughing a crazy laugh!

pic 1 Dear Aunt Tammy….I do love you, but no way is this a Viking helmet!

pic 1 As long as I live in Wisconsin (and Mama & Papa are alive) it’s just going to have to be a knight’s helmet.

pic 1 Sometimes I make a big mess under my chair. So today I thought I’d help Mama mop the kitchen floor.

pic 1 Although once I got started I realized the mop was better used as a dance partner!

pic 1 TA-DA!!!

pic 1 We went to the zoo this weekend, but I don’t think it’s going to be a very fast visit sitting on this turtle. I do have some exciting news though: we have some new animals! We now have Porcupines, a Red Panda, a Wallaby, Gibbons that sound like a singing choir and pretty soon we’ll have our very own Meerkat exhibit!

pic 1 They also added a new playground. Yes…it’s as scary as it looks…

pic 1 but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun!!

pic 1 AND on our way out we stopped to look at the zoo’s new waterfall and all of the crazy goldfish swimming around. I’d say it was almost like visiting the zoo for the first time all over again!

NOLAN TIDBITS:

Mama has been posting pictures on this website for a very long time. So, we decided it was time to add something new. In this section I’m going to list some of my favorite things and share stories about some of the crazy things I am doing.

Favorite Music: That’s difficult! I love the Music Man and Mary Poppins’ soundtracks, but I also still love to listen to Michael Jackson and dance to “Who Let the Dogs Out.”

Favorite Food: I am crazy about frozen waffles. Yes, I really like to eat them frozen. I also throw a full blown tantrum if you cut or break any of my food into smaller pieces. I’m a big boy now– I want them whole! (Ne touchez-pas!)

Biggest Change:I love to talk in complete sentences and tell stories and pretend to be other people/things. This past week I woke up one morning and told Mama that I was a caterpillar building a cocoon and that pretty soon I would turn into a beautiful butterfly.

What Have Mama & Papa been teaching me:I love to say “well…” (just like Mama does) and rub my chin at the same time (just like Papa does…well…he rubs his goatee because his chin is covered!)

I think that’s all for now, but stay tuned for more great Nolan Tidbits next week!
