Dad's note: The thing about him learning is that he just won't stop.

Too much fun in the snow

We got our first real snowfall in a while this weekend. Mom and Dad wanted to stay indoors and avoid the cold, but I knew the real fun was out on the front driveway.

Here I am making tire tracks with my pickup truck. It handled pretty well in the snow, but next time I'm gonna have to put some chains on the tires. For safety.

You can make awesome footprint tracks in the snow too. I made a giant "V" here to symbolize my victory over the elements. Dad messed it up by walking too close to my pattern. 

And afterwards, there's nothing better than using every blanket in the house to warm back up. Well, maybe hot chocolate is better, but I still don't know what that is. 

Controlled chaos

When you say this room is a "disaster," I'm not really sure I understand what you're referring to.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK

Pop-Pop taught me the most fun game this weekend. First, you load a whole bunch of wood in a wheelbarrow...

... then you take the wood somewhere else and unload it! We could have done this all day, but since he only brought the small car and not his truck, there was only a little room for all the firewood.

Rawr!

What can I say? I like dinosaur shirts.

Remote learning

That's Grandmom and Grandpop on the phone on top of the TV (courtesy of Skype), and that's me showing them my dinosaur magnets. They still don't really know they difference between a pteranodon and an iguanadon, but don't worry, I've got a whole series of online classes set up for them.

Ready for the snow

There's no weather my monkey hat can't handle.

Playoff football, more improved

I've noticed that there's not much kicking in these football games. Wouldn't that make it better?

Old McDonald had a piano

Dad's note: While this is undeniably cute, it's also a complete audio disaster.



Dad's note 2: We'll get some pictures of Mom and Jonathan up soon, but for now, everybody is safe at home and relaxing.

Big kid chairs

The problem isn't that this chair is too big for me. The problem is they put the table too far away from the floor.

Playoff football, improved

Geez, Dad, the rules are simple. Whoever crosses the goal line carrying the football and pushing the lawn mower scores a point. That's exactly how they do it in the NFL. 

Goodnight moon

I've been reading Goodnight Moon a lot at bedtime recently, but Mom and Dad always rush through the best part. So I figured I'd read the book to all of you the right way, to help you sleep soundly tonight.
