H's favourite book this week was 'Scaredy Squirrel' by Melanie Watts. He had grandma put a rescue pack together just like squirrel -parachute, band-aids, calamine lotion, hard-hat, binoculars & anchovies to distract the sharks.

Scaredy squirrel getting into trouble. He said he was climbing back into his tree...sure buddy now get down.

The family of the future...everyone IMs each other instead of just talking to each other across the table.

Not really we were all doing doing work while waiting for dinner.
Gus was glued to the boys, waiting for dropped food. Look at him staring down the cinnamon toast.

Aunt Cissy gave the boys gingerbread men to decorate. H added brains to his man.

Nico said 'delish' and licked the frosting off his man.
