Dressing Up

As Chase and I were sitting in the living room waiting for his school bus yesterday, I realized when Chase said he wanted to dress like a John Deere farmer for Halloween he was saying he wouldn't be dressing up at all.

Make Way

We're back. This means that before long you'll be bombarded with posts about Oregon. In fact, the bombardment begins now . . . .

There's a John Deere store not far from grandma and grandpa's house in Oregon. Seeing as Chase is a John Deere fanatic we decided to pay the store a little visit.

The first thing Chase noticed was the Johnny Popper.


After fawning over various farm equipment he joined the boy in the toy section.

Kai: "Look Chase! Its a toy Johnny Popper!"
Chase: "Dat's a Waterloo Boy."
Kai: "No, it's a Johnny Popper."
Michael: "Its a Waterloo Boy. It says it on the box."

Even though he had high hopes walking in with his, "Will Trade Sister For Tractor" shirt, we left with Madison and he left without a tractor. However, we couldn't leave empty handed so grandpa bought Chase a John Deere cup and we bought him a DVD called John Deere Country: How a Combine is Made. He is completely in love with this DVD.

Here is a quick preview.



Do you hear the song playing in the background? So do I . . . all the time! Chase sings it constantly. I figure it won't be long now before he buys himself some big ticket farm equipment while I'm taking a nap.
