Science Museum & Dinnertime Photo Shoot

At OMSI (the Portland science museum) there is a new exhibit called Grossology. It teaches all about why our bodies do the gross things that they do! Very interesting. Here Ezra stands in a huge nose, learning about boogers!

Bouldering across some skin littered with zits, blisters and scabs...

And my favorite: a huge version of Operation complete with salad tongs for removing body parts.

When we got home we had dinner and we both took some pictures. I made Ezra into a kitty cat...

And he made me into dinner!

Ezra likes the mouse face feature...

On himself,

And his macaroni!

I like this one.

I don't really like this one.

Dreary Portland day through a periscope?

Ninja-Apple-Fest-Weekend

Ezra's Halloween costume trial run! We have a couple things to work out, but overall he's looking good, and tough.

We went to the apple festival in Portland with some friends on Sunday. Here Farmer Maya holds Rooster Ezra.

The most beautiful flowers.

Jupey flower!

There were so many varieties of apples! Here Ezra and Maya discuss the Buckeye Gala. I can't remember what variety Ezra is sampling.

This was the weirdest variety, the Winter Banana apple.

Ezra showing off his moves!

Pumpkin Patch with Lisa

We went to Sauvie Island today to Kruger's Farm with our good friend Lisa. We did the corn maze for the first time! It was fun to navigate our way around. Ezra preferred to go through the corn rather than stay on the path so he got a little scratched up. He always crosses the lines doing mazes on paper too.

There's a smile! And the map of the corn maze. It was based on a Mayan design. And Ezra's part Mayan!

We also got a caramel apple. Ezra learned about how sticky caramel is.

There's a nice smile! (I had just said, "Smile nice or I'm taking away that apple.")

Another nice one with the pumpkins.

The hay ride was next, which took us out the the pumpkin patch.

You can see his poor little cheeks are all scratched up from the corn maze jungle.

And to finish off the day, a pony ride! He totally fell asleep on the way home from this full day of Fall fun.

Cookies and a Cut

Ezra and I made chocolate chip cookies, and Ezra helped with the clean up.

He also got a spiffy haircut for his school pictures. This isn't the best shot to show it off, but it's basically a faux hawk with the beginnings of a tail. I'm calling it the Barthelona Do cause I saw lots of men and women with this hair cut when I was in Spain.

Let you know when those school pictures come back! We got the haircut and a fancy sweater so hopefully the boy didn't stick his tongue out and ruin all my best intentions.
