also worth noting....

Generally speaking I am pretty lax about the whole cigarette smoking debate. Your house, your car, you do as you please, but this really caught my eye. I was secretly wondering where the hidden camera was, because this looked to gross to be true. So I ask you, is it possible to actually drive in this car and not be blinded by flying ash? Pardon the glare, crappy photo and all but I couldn't resist sharing.

for the love of the birds....

No preference, beach or park...as long as there are hungry birds and stale bread, all parties involved are happy.

merry go round...

After waiting for the highly sought after Spiderman car to be free, Sebastian was ready to go, happy as a clam. 

After grabbing the "pom-pom" resulting in a free ride, Sebastian's smile got even bigger (which I didn't know was humanly possible).

The gang.....

 Yeah! Sebastian invited two of his classmates over for the afternoon and they all had a very good time. The proof is in the picture....

a perfect morning for the beach

Quicksand...

 Well, here he is in action. Even though we brought a change of clothes for the little guy, we still had to go directly home after. When we pulled his boots off there was a sinister suction sound along with a big smile. Sunshine, water and sand..what more could a 4 year old ask for.

                                                                        Future Pope?

Our harvest of hazelnuts and chestnuts....as well as some color from a surrounding field. We fired up the coal stove in  the kitchen and were warm and toasty ...long live October.

training...

Sebastian really wanted me to take a video of his fireman training session. I believe he really just enjoys getting to wave and bow at the end of his performance....
