the dining room

much to kyle's dismay, our dining room table has rarely been used for more than storing the junk that we bring in from the car: i.e., diaper bags, target bags, camera bags. this fall I decided that we need to start eating in there as a family on a regular basis. I've made it my mission to actually plan ahead for the week's meals. this is a new concept for me, as I normally just grocery shop for the basics and we tend to eat on the fly a lot. well, I busted out my barrage of cookbooks and started meal planning. it's so nice to know what's for dinner and, more importantly, know that all of the ingredients are in the house :) miles can now sit right up to the table after we purchased a little booster seat, brought up the folding chair (his legs didn't fit under the table on the regular chair), and covered the floor with a plastic mat. he thinks he is such a big boy! little did he know that being a big boy means learning some big boy lessons.
lesson one: when I proclaim "all done!" mommy and daddy are not going to drop everything and get me out.
lesson two: do not feed the animals.

on a side note: the funny voice is me with a cold

do I fit?

for some reason miles has decided that he must try to fit inside of every container he has. this means that the toys that once occupied these containers must get (in miles' words) dropped onto the floor. so much for a neat house! his latest attempt was pretty amusing as the container was barely larger than a shoe box.

look at me!

this is when he said "stuck...help"

"out"

papa's "puter"

miles has a "new" computer at papa and nana's house. he was super excited to play with it and carry it around (while saying "heavy!"). it made him feel just like papa and daddy.

I have no idea why he wanted to do this!

nana showing miles how it works...notice his attentiveness

like papa like grandson

working at the car wash

last week miles and daddy decided to wash the cars. I'm not sure if miles was much of a help, but he had a lot of fun with the brush and bucket of water. don't look for the two of them to start up a business anytime soon!
