A few more pictures...

Lounging on one of his sick days a couple weeks ago....

We ended up with a few Halloween costumes for the year, as this was one from last year and it still fits :) That said, Brecken had decided to be a monkey for his daycare party last week. We weren't sure if we should go to it, as he was home sick all week but decided at the last minute that we would make an appearance. Here he is walking in the door.....

.... NOT enjoying himself....

... not even excited about candy...

... maybe playing with cars would be fun..... maybe not :(

... decorating an ice cream cone with chocolate should be fun...

.... but not when you feel icky everywhere :( It was at this point of the evening, 5 minutes after our arrival, that we decided the gig was up and we were calling it quits. We headed home, discovered the reason behind the tears (a ridiculous rash that miraculously appeared on his torso and a gigantic unexplained red and blistery welt on his thigh), and promptly headed to the ER where we spent the night :( Poor bug-a-boo....

Playing with a gigantic pencil from Grandpa Walker...

Brecken has spent a lot of time playing with his train tracks in the last few weeks...

A rare smile.... Love it! Oh, and to go along with those bottom two teeth that he's had for a long time, he now has an extra tooth on each side that just popped through :)

What a big helper.... Helping Daddy carry the hoses in. Notice how he will never put his little rake down when he's outside??

Reading books with Grandma Walker...

Grandma Walker made Brecken the COOLEST quiet book! It has snaps and laces and a dog that goes in and out of a kennel, and lady bugs to count, and LOTS of other fun things. It even has a pocket on the back page to hold trains, where she had a few new ones hiding. Brecken hasn't put them down since finding them!

Brecken playing at the doctor's office while we wait for one of his daily appointments this week....

Stripped down to "full rash" attire and waiting to be seen...
