hey momma, watch this

before all of this single-digit and below-zero weather, we had some really nice fall days. i took marianne out to play in the leaves but instead she decided to taste-test. i made a valiant effort at first to stop her but as soon as i would pull one out, she'd shove another in. so i ran for the camera and let her sample.

blech! not so tasty.

but enough fun to give it one more try.

who needs toys when you have empty beer boxes?

they can be a car - vroom vroom, dada.

or they can be a boat - there's room, momma, come on in.
