Story time with Jonathan

He doesn't know as many words as Mom and Dad, but he's still a really good story teller. 

Leaf gymnastics

Our somersaults need some work, but at least it's a soft landing spot. 

So many holiday specials

Maybe if we stay up all night, we can watch every single Christmas special before Christmas Eve gets here.

Turkey hunt

For cub scouts this week, we practiced our turkey hunting skills with nerf guns. I'll be honest, if we're in charge of getting dinner this year, we might just be eating potatoes. 

Holiday wrappings

There's getting dressed up for holiday dinners, and then there is crushing it when it comes to style. We're in the second group. 

Fourth-grade thanksgiving play

We had our fourth-grade Thanksgiving play this week, and I got to be an arbitrator trying to make a deal to get the turkeys back for Thanksgiving. It meant I got to dress up like Dad. 

Here's the opening song: 

And here's my big scene:



We pretty much crushed it, as you can see. It was a ton of fun.

Fun with static

You know, if I got a haircut, this wouldn't be as dramatic. 

Homework time

I understand why Jonathan has to finish his reading essay, but why do I have to start working on your taxes? 

Slide surprise

There's always a way to make the playground more fun. 

Swarming grandmom

I mean, if she's just sitting there, she must want us all to come over and use her lap. 

Ollie party

Ain't no party like an Ollie birthday party because and Ollie birthday party has laser guns.

Also, there are post-laser tag princess dance parties. 

Seriously, though, Lexi and I pretty much are Disney princesses.

Fall camouflage

It's comfier in those leaves than you think.
