Matt and Megan gave Arch his birthday present a little early. It took him about a day to warm up to the new zoo but now can’t leave it alone. I think the train may have been his favorite part of the St Louis Zoo, so he started setting up his Thomas train around his zoo.

Archer didn’t want to be a monster, super hero, fireman, or anything like that this year. A couple months ago he started asking if he could be a sea turtle. I don’t know if you have ever looked, but sea turtle costumes are hard to come by. I ended up making a turtle-shell-shaped pillow with elastic straps and Cyn found some green pants, a brown turtleneck, and made the belly plate. It didn’t turn out too bad and, as a bonus, it works as a handy pillow whenever Archer wants to lay down.
We went back to the Durham’s for their Halloween party and everybody had a great time. At the last minute Cyn threw a witch costume together while I, as usual, spent most of the night alternating between eating and taking pictures.

It looks like I’m going to be a stay-at-home-dad again in a couple weeks. Our daycare decided to shut down and only gave us two weeks notice. At first Cyn and I were really sad, then pissed, but now we’re glad it happened.

Our contract was for year-round service so I had to take a job for the summer in order to be able to afford it. Now, it looks like I’m going to be able to quit and spend some good time with my Archer.

Six more days of work and counting…

My father’s day was awesome. Arch and I had a great morning, we took a three hour nap, and now we’re just chillin’.
