the pumpkin eater jan-mar 2013

This photo is breathtaking.
I love this kid (no matter how crazy he makes me).
This was taken on a hike as a storm was moving into the Superstition Mountains here in AZ.

Trail running.

Pinewood Derby.  His car raced really well, but he did not place in the top three this year.
He had a lot of fun making and racing his car!

I "mustache" you a question. (Goofing around on Valentine's Day)

Dog-sitting Jake for some friends. When he licks, it is very tickly!

Playing around with Jake.

Homework.

Pete played Basketball for the first time this winter.  He did well for his first time playing, but most of the other boys' skills far exceeded his.  He always went to games and practice and tried very hard without complaining, but he told me he does not want to play basketball EVER AGAIN. 

A warm-up shot.

Close your book and go to sleep!  He's REALLY into the Captain Underpants books and he loves graphic novels lately.   We go to the library every Wednesday afternoon and he usually has 2-3 books finished by Wednesday night.

All dressed up to go to an Orchestra performance of "Peter and the Wolf."
