A Day Out With Thomas 2011

We had our 3rd annual Day Out With Thomas yesterday at Greenfield Village with the Tomlin family.  The rain stayed away and we had a great time!

Big Wheel 500 - Awards

The Story

The clown costume was made in 1976 for me for Halloween by my mom.  I was in kindergarten when I wore it but it fit Zackary really well.  It also has a hat but he wasn't fond of it, so I bought "clown hair" for him to wear.  He told me he liked the colors but he wouldn't even put it on.  I chuckled when I went to his school and the teacher told me they tried to get him to wear clown hair . . . like I hadn't thought of that!!

Big Wheel 500

Zackary participated in the Big Wheel 500 at his preschool on  
February 8. This is a fundraiser for the school and he completed 12 laps in 3 minutes!! As you can see from the video, he really got into it. He did a great job!

Dentist

On the first of November I took Zackary to the dentist for the first time!  He did great while Roxann demonstrated everything on his fingernails . . . . .

but when she tried to work in his mouth . . . it was a different story!

He finally let her polish his teeth.  It went all right for the first time but not as great as I had hoped.



The hat was Zack's contribution to his outfit!

Halloween

Mommy had the job of cleaning out the inside and Daddy made the face.  This year he asked Zackary what kind of face he wanted and he showed him (with the expression on his own face).  Then he requested round eyes and a nose.

 He loved pumpkin.  We carried him from room to room with us and he even went to Inny & Pop Pop's one day.  I was glad he didn't chose a larger pumpkin!

 At preschool they had a Noah's Ark Party and he dressed as a bear.

This year we went to Zoo Boo at the Detroit Zoo (unfortunately the pictures didn't turn out very good) the day before Halloween.  Then on Halloween the Cat in the Hat did some trick or treating in my parents neighborhood and really got into the whole experience this year.  Then we went to our church for Trunk or Treat.  We all had fun!
