Guest Starring Hugh??

Hugh and Miles play a new game together. Unfortunately, I wasn't in earshot when the game was conceptualized, however from what I gather, the creator is obvious. The boys call the game, "Hugh". With a roll of the eyes, I call it, "Oh brother".
Here's how it is played:
Miles: Hugh, Hugh. Let's play Hugh.
Hugh: Okay Miles.
Miles: No, no, no, no. I'm Hugh, remember?
Hugh: Oh yeah. Sorry Hugh.
Miles: That's okay Hugh.
Hugh: Hugh would like to build a construction site.
Miles: Sure Hugh. That's a good idea.
Hugh: Thanks Hugh.
Miles: You're welcome Hugh....
And so on and so forth in this manner and the only rule thus far...don't call Miles, Miles.
What I find most curious is that Miles is very keen to play "Hugh". In fact, when Hugh tried to switch things around a little and asked Miles to call him, "Miles", Hugh {the real Hugh that is...Yowsers, I'm getting confused} was emphatically shut down. Very curious indeed...I guess it's just that much fun to be Hugh!

Patch vs. Maze

At the pumpkin patch today, we arrived at two conclusions ::
1. Picking out pumpkins in the cold wind is mildly miserable.2. Finding a corn maze next to the pumpkin patch is simply marvelous. Not only are you shielded from the wind... but it's also the ideal place to perform your best cornstalk impersonation.
And you never know what you'll find. Oh sure, there's corn...but what about a scarecrow sitting on a bench? Or a play gym with a slide?How about a bridge? Patch, you gave us a few nice pumpkins...but this year, we choose Maze!{Did you spy Hugh in the shot above?}
