Today's Toby

Bed ready (though, he insists, not the least bit tired).   

It's Snowman's distant (and slightly shorter) cousin, Basketballman.  

Wiggly teeth are taking their sweet time. In the meantime, we brush.  

Watch out for Mom. She'll get you when you least expect it.  

Toby's got a whole bunch of wiggly teeth at the moment. I figured we should take a picture while he still has some of them.  

We got to see Toby's artwork hanging up in thr high school. This is a heartbin the style of Brazilian artist Romero Britto:  

Hitting the Ice Cream Parlour to start off Memorial Day Weekend right.  

There's a lot of moaning and groaning about going outside until I mention the hose.  

Toby wasn't quite sure he liked Cotton Candy, but the reviews were very positive.  

Bubble fun!  

Learning his first ukulele chord.  

Some close-ups from Toby's concert.  

Here's a short selection of some of Toby's numbers from the Spring Concert  it required lots of memorizing and they all did a grest job!  

Toby got to sit in the Volunteer Ambulance at the Eco Fair and pretend to make calls over the walkie-talkie.  

Ready to Groove & Glow at the spring social.  

Watch out! The wildlife can be dangerous.  

Spinning the new composter is very thrilling.  

Sometimes you need some quiet time to read with your bear... ... and sometimes it's nice to read quietly next to your little brother too.  

Toby was excited about how big this dandelion was, so he wanted me to take a picture.  

Spencer, do you feel like mom would like this Guinea Pig as a Mother's Day present?      

When your dance teacher assigns you tap Homework, who better to work with than Mom! Happy Mother's Day to the best time-steppin', shim-shammin' Mom around.   

We've been blowing a lot of dandelions over here. Here's to making your wishes come true.  

Getting in a little golf before school.   

Checking the calendar to see when all the good holidays are (National Cookie Day, National Donut Day, etc.). Special thanks to Grandma Wright for keeping us informed.  

Not sure if you can really see it here, but this was basically a bouncy house that started about two stories above the ground. Toby and Spencer loved it! Such a great trip to Sesame Place.   

When you're so excited for the parade that you have to bounce.  

Spencer was a little nervous about meeting Telly and Baby Bear. But Toby was not going to let the opportunity pass him by. He did think it was strange that none of the friends ever talked... But by the time we saw Bert and Ernie, everybody wanted to join in.  

We were worried that Toby wasn't going ride any of the rides. But he ended up riding everything except the roller coaster. This was waiting in line at the very first ride, an Elmo Caterpillar. All strapped in. This was the whole ride. I think Dad made it extra fun. They had such a great time they got right back in line to ride it again. This time, with Mom. Suffice to say, they enjoyed the new experience. Shots from a few other rides.   Ending the day with the same ride that started it all. Finally, everybody strapped in together. Whee!

For the last stop on our spring break extravaganza we took the kids to Sesame Place (which is a Sesame Street theme park).
