Pumpkin Head and Santa Claus

These photographs are new, since I haven't posted in some time due to a crashed hard-drive. The fall was very good, especially the time before and after Halloween when it was nice and warm. Spencer got really excited about Halloween this year, especially over pumpkins. He ran around the house for three months, yelling "Pumpkin head" certainly inspired by this scary looking pumpkin head above from his school field trip to the pumpkin patch.

When Christmas came around, everything was Pumpkin head, but also with Santa Claus. Spencer seems to blend them together, so Santa is kind of a frightening guy that comes down your chimney when you say trick or treat.

Now that my computer is fixed, I'll get to the summer photographs sometime in February, when it's -20 degrees and I'm sufferning vitamin B deficiency.

January during the melt!

Spencer scored this baloon at our friend's Christmas day party. More fun than toys, really....

Spencer got a harmonica, so maybe he'll dig Tom Waits, too.
