Train Time

Nothing like a holiday train to kick off the season.  

Solitaire

Image
 Even solitaire is more fun woth more people. 

Video Time

Sharing favorite videos with Grandpa   

Coasting

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

Multitasking

Image
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.  

Sleepover!

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

Srory Interrupted

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

Bellies And Butts

Image
Belly spins. Butt spins  

No Joke

Image
He does not joke about Halloween candy.  

Scribe

Image
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.  

Management

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

No Comment

I can neither confirm nor deny those events.  

Word Scramble

Teaching Spencer how to do word scrambles.  

Mellow Yellow

They call me mellow yellow...  

Milk Graffiti

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

School Pictures

Image
This year's school picture.  

Stepping Up

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

Offended

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

Sunset

Image
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.  

Buried Treasure

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

Scavenging

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

Candy Rich

Image
Enjoying being rich with candy.

Charging

Image
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

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

Halloween 2025

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.

Better With Friends

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

Shorts Weather

Image
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.)
