Actual quote: "I look just like Jonathan."

I mean, the hair doesn't, but ...

Cooking breakfast again

Seriously, Dad, remember to pick up enough oatmeal this week, OK?

Dance recital winter 2020

New dance studio, new routine, still the same fabulous footwork. Just take a peek: 

Full recital is this spring, get your tickets now while you can. 

Kindergarten field trip

Mom asked us to pose and for some reason my friends thought that meant "stand still and smile." Don't worry, I'll teach them what to do next time.

Cub scout magic show

I'm still trying to figure out how he made that balloon disappear, but now we're both worried that he might cut one of the scouts in half. But the adults seem to be ok with him trying, so...

Tent time

It's a little too cold to sleep outside, but this indoor tent is perfect for some winter camping in style.

Hot hot chocolate

What? It was really hot. 

Chalking up the driveway

Hold up -- wasn't it just snowing here a few days ago? This weather is screwy. 

Plane museum

Our cub scout den went on a weekend camping trip with a local Boy Scouts troop which included a trip to the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum, which has a lot of planes. 

And I mean a lot of planes. Did you know this one can fly like a plane or a helicopter? I've made things like this with legos, but I had no idea it would actually work. 

I even got to try out a flight simulator while I was at the museum. Instead of flying left or right, I kept doing barrel rolls. But, honestly, why would you fly left or right if you could do barrel rolls? 

The whole thing was pretty awesome. I asked Dad if would could bring home a plane, but he said I'm not allowed to fly one on my own until I'm at least 14. Bummer. 

Snow!!!

OK, it wasn't a ton of snow, and it all came in the dark, and most of it was gone by the morning. But still ... SNOW!

Jonathan made snowballs for about an hour and threw them everywhere. And I ... well, I kinda forgot how snow works.

So close

I thought 2020 was supposed to be the year I grew enough to avoid this kind of embarrassment. 

Starting off on the right foot

C'mon, let's get this room straightened up. It hasn't been clear for a single day this whole year!
