Seeing Spencer

Some pictures from Spencer's school Valentine's Day party. Valentine's volcanos. Busting a move (in the corner of the photo). Snack time.  

Daddy's work had a 'Take Your Kids to Work Day' today, so the kis had an adventure. There were bagels, pizza, Marvel activity books, crafts, movies, and games.  I dunno, work seems way better than school, Dad.  

The thrill of knocking down pins!  

One of Spencer's Valentine's from school was a plaster heart you break apart to fine stones inside. We had a great time this evening digging for the treasure.  

King of the Heap.  

Years ago, when we were still in Queens, one of our neighbors bought this set for Toby. It was a toy I would never have even considered buying. But 8 years later it's still being played with in our home. So thank you, to Gio and Ingrid. Wherever you two are now, we still think of you.  

In preparation for Valentine's Day, Spencer thought he needed Kissy Eyes (by resting the plume of his Hershey Kiss on his eyelashes).  

You know it's going to be a good party when they give out clappy hands!  

Batman, on his way to bed. Bedman, if you will. The Dark Knight whichever way you slice it.  

Big day for Hoodini and Scooter Jr.  Happy Superb Owl Sunday!  

Puzzle Bright living up to it's name.   

When you're in the middle of explaining The Avengers to The Octonauts and you see your mom peeking around the corner.

Before there were Avengers and Batman, there were The Octonauts. Good to be back to exploring, rescuing, and protecting.  

The face you make when you think someone is drastically overreacting to your cuteness.  

Sprawled out and reading a book.  

Spencer saw me coming down the stairs and ran to give me a hug (after putting his book back in the book bin!)  

Goldfish are classic snack to enjoy at Goldfish Swim School   

Today, Iron Man decided his body better to sneak up in the villains was to wear a disguise.  Very effective.  

Just a boy and his stuffie.

Sharing his school papers with us after dinner. This was a picture of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. You can see Superman's curl in the middle of his forehead, Wonder Woman's lasso, and Batman's pointy bat ears and batarangs. The above picture was (I'm assuming) dedicated to the heros in question. Either that I'm supposed to mail it to them... This is a picture of Spencer at rest time. This was Spencer making the sign language symbol for "I love you". And another picture of Batman telling the villains, "No". With lots of dark clouds.  

I didn't think we'd be playing with a basketball like that, but here we are.  

Of all the stuffies, Spencer Dino has emerged as the favorite. He takes his job very seriously.
