September 8-November 15, 2014

Hockey, racecars and monster trucks are the important things in Noah's life these days.  We spend lots of time each day running around on our "track," zooming cards down his ramp and watching monster truck video on youtube.  We've also hit up a Sabres, Amerks and RIT hockey game-all of which Noah LOVED!  He often talks about his hockey guys, wanting to be a hockey guy and if you ask what he wants to do today, he says "go watch hockey guys!"

Here are some other fun things we've been up to:
-On Daryl's birthday, Daryl, Noah and his dad went out on a fishing boat.
-we had a fall party with a bunch of our friends-tractor rides, games, candy.  We had beautiful weather again this year, but hardly any leaves for the giant leaf pile.  Noah talked for days about how his friends were coming over.
-For Halloween, Noah dressed as Woody from Toy Story.  We went trick or treating with friends.  Favorite candy this year-tootsie rolls and lollipops.  He also got to trick or treat at our fall party, the Amerks game and a church trunk or treat=lots of candy!
-We've had fun visiting the construction site of Patti and Steve's new home.  Lots of trucks and dirt-Noah's favorite!
-I let Noah pick out a pair of sneakers-he chose Lightning McQueen light up ones.  He was so excited. Carried them through the store, told the cashier he was happy and put them on as soon as we got to the car (and then slept with them on for the next 3 days).
-Since the start of hunting season, Noah has been very interested in Daddy's gear and what he is doing. He talks about Daryl's pole (bow or shotgun) and how he is going to find a deer.  He likes to wear camo like Daddy so that no one can see him.  When I ask what animals daddy sees in our backyard while he is hunting, he says things like elephants, giraffes and alligators.
-Daryl made a brick oven, so we have been enjoying some homemade pizzas
-today was the first real snowfall.  Noah has been very excited for the snow to arrive.  We were able to make our first snowman of the season which was a big hit.
-packing boxes for Operation Christmas Child.  Noah has had fun shopping for little gifts for kids that live far away.
-making homemade icecream in baggies
-launching model rockets
-we started a little at home preschool program this year.  We are having lots of fun doing it!

Funny things Noah says:
-sprinkles-which can mean Daryl's head or face after he shaves it or foot powder that he likes to sprinkle in his shoes like daddy does
-pinny (penny)-we just love how he says it
-couple minutes
-DVDV
-when something goes wrong or someone says sorry he asks "is it my fault or your fault?"
-he likes to sing happy birthday and pretend to give us presents.  He is VERY excited for his birthday to come.  We talk about it almost daily.  He will say, "after Jesus's birthday, then Noah's birthday!"
-We went out to dinner and he said he was going to pay for dinner when the check arived.  I asked how he got money and he replied that he drives monster trucks.  He had 24 mineys to pay.
-"what are you thinking mommy?"
-"i'm just hanging out"
-Noah asked me to reach his hot chocolate (which he wanted to drink out of a travel coffee mug).  I was tickling him instead of getting his drink.  Finally he said " stop it mom.  Don't be crazy, just give me my coffee."
-Thanks mom.  You're a good helper!
-ok!  Relax!
-"I love this house.  Daddy built it for me."
-Referring to his stuffed animal...."Let's make Teddy talk.  I'll get my dr kit."
-He has started calling Patti, Pad instead
-"I love you Remi."  This boy and his dog-inseperable!

 The highlight of the Sabres game-Noah looked all night for Sabretooth and finally found him on our way back to the seats before the 3rd period.  Sabretooth had to go somewhere else in the aduitorium and asked Noah to walk with him.  I wish you could have seen Noah's face-he was elated!

 Major shiner and possibly his first scar-Filled his backpack up too much and it threw him off balance.  He fell on the corner of our bookcase-in seconds, it was black and blue and big bump.
