Halloween
On the actual day of Halloween, we were lucky enough to have Caden and Uncle Jim head over to our house early enough in the day to start off trick or treating before the sun went down. Quite a few of the neighbors went out of their way and really did it right. Both Gage and Caden got a bunch of candy and we headed back to the house right around 8 pm.
However, the highlight of the night occured when both of the kids saw their favorite superheroes. Gage couldn't keep his eyes of the one in the dress...

Washing the Car
However, with Gage coming into our lives, a few things have changed. While it's still a battle to get him to take a bath every night, he has absolutely no problem getting into the pool, or running through the water sprinkler, or getting soaked with a water hose. In fact, I don't even think Gage comprehends the concept of a water sprinkler, beyond just another way to get wet wearing clothes.
Well, the family car was getting to be a bit embarrassing this past weekend so Gage and I decided to make things right again. Plus, with the price of gas getting a bit out of hand, I thought it was necessary to cut down on the drag coefficient and wash some of the dirt off the car. Two hours later, we made some memories and cleaned the car.
I just wish Gage could stay 3 forever (minus the temper tantrums).

Short Week
I can't wait for the week to end on Thursday. We are going to be heading to Austin to meet up with close friends of the wife, both of whom were pregnant as of this morning. We found out that the hostess actually delivered this morning but is such a trooper that she and her husband still expect for us to show up. At a minimum, we can help out with diaper duty.
Anyway, just to show you how much of a neat freak we have in our three year old, the following video show Gage actually sliding down the water slide for the first and last time. He actually hates having anything even slightly dirty on him and realized that the water in the pool wasn't as clean as he would have preferred. For some reason, he actually enjoyed walking up the other side of the slide (on the plastic ladder) and falling backwards (taking out kids behind him was a bonus). After the third time, he stopped doing that as well because the there was water and grass build up.

The Kemah Boardwalk Again...
Space Center Houston
The picture below is of the rocket ship that anchored outside the playhouse, on the 3rd story, which is a bit unnerving.

Fireman Gage
Another Full Weekend
In the past few weeks, we've taken him to both Chinese and Hindu Temples in Houston. Houston has a fairly large population from both India and China, resulting in some fairly spectacular building. There's a relatively new Hindu Temple in Sugarland that is just jaw dropping amazing. The Swaminarayan Mandir was built, block by block, by artisans in India, using techniques dating back centuries. Each of those blocks were shipped to Houston and assembled, resulting the one of the largest hindu temples in the world. Pictures just don't do it any justice.
Anyway, the little man had a great time.

The Accidental Picture
So, Gage and I were just chilling out at the house, watching Spiderman 3 (for the 35th million time) and I decided to take a picture of the little man with my cell phone. Since I was sitting right next to him and using the little mirror built into the phone for self portraits, I just snapped away a few times, until I got the picture above.
Of course, the pixelation was pretty bad, so I just used Picasa and used some of their editing tools, to get my final picture. What was once, just a lucky shot, turned into something a lot more (well, at least to me).
I pat myself on the back!
