Fall-ing in love Festival

Today Max went to the festival at Frying Pan Park, where he shucked corn, cored an apple, and took a romantic wagon ride with Sadie.

This straw is broken.

What a comfy seat.  Empty box of wipes in the middle of the hall.

Friday night lights

Max had a busy, sports-packed Friday! 

Why didn't my mom bring me a football?

Thank goodness the game is finally over so Max can get some shots up

         Best Buddies basketball game

Farmers Market Wednesday

BBQ date

Hung up on hanging

Sunny day

Thanks to Columbus, rainy weather did not trap Max inside all weekend.  He enjoyed the last leg of the three-day weekend running wild in the warm, and finally dry air.

He also displayed some interesting behavior in the patience department today. This morning he simply could not wait for breakfast.  He demanded his waffle straight from the freezer.  It was completely frozen.  And completely gone in thirty seconds.  Later at the park, however, he kept his cool while waiting in line for the carousel.  He missed getting on the ride by one kid.  Twice!  But each time he waited patiently, token in hand and his arm extended, ready to exchange it for a ride on a shinny horse. 

Maybe this frozen waffle will make my teeth feel better.
And my belly feel full.  Fast!

Oktober Fest rides with Grandma and Pa

Rides are yummy

Let him eat cake

Especially if he will help clean up after, with a gigantic smile on his freshly sweetened face.

Purple cat, purple cat

What do you see?

I see Max lovingly laughing at me.

Sadie's cat, Pawley, is by far Max's favorite feline, but purple cat is a close second. 

Strawberries are hilarious!

Smooch

Who shrunk the playground?

     

Oh, this makes more sense.

     

Early bird

Max is typically an amazing sleeper (aka: lets his mom and dad sleep until 7:30am or later!), so it came as a surprise when he awoke this morning at 6:30am.  Despite being sleep deprived, Max still managed to get a ton of playing, sliding, and jumping accomplished in the unseasonably autumnal sunshine.

Wiped out after gym class

          

That's enough of that.

                

Catching up on some rest.

              

Good thing we didn't put this away yet.

  

No, I will not smile in front of anything pumpkin-y.
