Seeing Spencer

Embarking in Summer Vacation 2026. First the AirTrain at the airport. To the airplane. Ready to takeoff!

Ooblek! This non-Newtonian fluid remains a summer classic.  

Spencer has given "Spencer Chess" a more formal rule structure. It's still not normal chess, but it's far from the chaos it once was.  

Spencer had been waiting all summer to do baking soda and vinegar with Toby. Today, we finally did it.  

Today, Spencer was busy rehearsing his own performance. If it's a joke that you don't get, don't worry. It's a performance that's only meant for Toby.

"Hulk just want everybody to have fun."  

 

Working on his wall climbing.  

It was a big day for living room car racing.  

Today, Spencer was snickering with yellow an green.  

Trying to find some balance.  

We got to put together our own dinosaurs at the library today. Spencer was very pleased with how his turned out.   

Very excited for his big kid bed! (Thanks again Davis!) This is before the stuffies all moved over from the old bed.  

People want to take my picture wherever I go.

We were not expecting to spend an hour at the library this afternoon, but when there are Legos to build with (and air conditioning), you indulge the creative impulse.   

This was Spencer's school picture from this past year.  

This is swinging at 5.  

Doing the serious work of fingerprint artwork.  

When the bedroom treasures come downstairs to play...  

A trip to see Pilabokus has c9me to mean a stop at 16 Handles.  What a treat!  

Spencer saw his first movie in the movie theater! We had lots of fun.  

Say what?!  

To be clear, he requested that we use the paper shredder.  

Waiting for the capsule to dissolve in order to see what our mystery sponge vehicle will be.  

 A quick hopscotch detour.

We built a ferris wheel with a STEM kit. Pretty cool.  

This was intended as the 'before' shot pre hedge-trimming today, but somehow it was the only shot I got of Spencer helping mom with the weeding. He was a big help!  

Normally Spencer walks all over the floor, but this time the floor got the better of him.  He's all good, just a bit scraped up.
