Today's Toby

Nothing like a holiday train to kick off the season.  

 Even solitaire is more fun woth more people. 

Sharing favorite videos with Grandpa   

Toby and Spencer were seeing how far they could glide on one push. Seems like more mass is harder to overcome.  

Toby tripped and fell leaving school, bumping his chin and knee. This is him trying to keep his face on his cool water bottle while tying his shoe.  

Not really, but if they did they'd need more thana twin bed.  

Toby understandably didn't want reading time with mom interrupted with a picture, but we managed to get one with his face uncovered.   

Belly spins. Butt spins  

He does not joke about Halloween candy.  

When Spencer came home with 16 placecards and a desire to host Stuffie Thanksgiving,  Toby very sweetly volunteered to write everyone's name on their respective card. I think they were both thrilled with the arrangement.  

Managing his fantasy football team with a little help from Dad.  

I can neither confirm nor deny those events.  

Teaching Spencer how to do word scrambles.  

They call me mellow yellow...  

What happens when there's a Sharpie on the dinner table? Milk graffiti. Naturally.   

This year's school picture.  

Spencer wanted someone to draw him a picture of The Joker (from Batman). When Mom was not available, Toby stepped in to help.  

When it's Monday AND you have homework yo do. Same, kid, same.  

As usual, the camera doesn't do it justice  - but we had a very nice sunset the other night.  Grateful to have caught it with the kids.  

We were cleaning up the playroom today, which resulted in discovering some forgotten toys.  

Finding all the items on the library scavenger hunt is no joke.  

Enjoying being rich with candy.

Toby was less sure about the tent. But he thought it was great fun to stir up an electrical charge by crawling back and forth under the curtain.  

Sharing the riches while getting cozy for a video. Shout out to Jordan from Dad's work for the super warm Argentina blanket!

Once again Cotton made the kiddos Halloween dreams come true.  Meet the Lemmings from 'Grizzy and the Lemmings'. Head over to Spencer's to see Grizzy and his lady bear friend.

Toby's 3rd Grade Halloween Parade.   

Excited for Halloween!  

When your friend joins you to read books at the library...  

You can tell he's on track to be a teenager because he insists on wearing shorts when it's cold outside. (Though, at least he wears pants and a winter coat to school.)
