Seeing Spencer

He said he needed a hat.  

Sweet. And Sour.  

At this time of year, sometimes it's colder inside than it is outside.  

Come for the toss, stay for the giggle. (Watch with the sound on in order to hear it.)  

This was a picture from school. They were peeling apples. From the looks of it, it was very hard work.  

Spencer got a punch balloon at his most recent birthday party. He's working on his punch balloon moves.  

Toby had a birthday party that overlapped with the Bronco game, so Spencer and I took the opportunity to watch the end of the game and grab a bite. Truly, I just bribed him with fries and a shake.  

Toby had a play date, so Spencer decided he wanted to learn a bit more about "real chess" (as opposed to "Spencer chess" where there are no rules). He didn't play a whole game, but he learned a lot.  

The presentation of Spencer's classwork from the past week is always a treat.  

The fire department visited Spencer's school, and suffice to say he's now a junior firefighter.  

Recounting his favorite parts of the story.  

Thinking about giving me a stinky face.  

It doesn't feel like October, but it looks a bit more like it at our house.    

Spencer didn't like the idea of carving, so he broke out the paints for his 'Lion Pumpkin'. Results coming soon.  

Keeping his eye on what's going on over there...  

Peek A Boo!  

Lookout Martha Graham.  

Spencer got a "sticky hand" toy in his gift bag from a classmate's birthday. Suffice to say, he is enjoying it greatly.  

Voting for Grazer and Chunk in the Fat Bear Semi Finals!  

Never too early to practice blowing out candles.  

End of September means it's time to help with leaves!  

Pouring over a new library book.  

Batman popped in to see us. I told him I would give his regards to Spencer.  

"The plumber is where the farts go." Not exactly right, but not exactly wrong.  

Some bouncy joy for your day.  

Playing a game of Race To The Treasure. Fortunately, we were able to beat the Ogre.  

Someone finally got their own barrel chair!  

A beautiful day meant a visit to our old friend the butterfly.  

Well, now I'm rethinking all of my life choices.
