Funny faces

Yesterday we met Skye at the park. It was sheer coincidence that they both had on green adn white striped shirts!

G and Skye's versions of a funny face...

Skye showing off her muscles!

Griffin sporting his Airborne hat and generally looking super cute!

...like car wash man

Nothing brings Griffin greater joy than cleaning...I'm serious. So, this morning when I was going to vacuum, he told me he wanted to vacuum "like the car wash man." I couldn't possibly make this stuff up. That meant, removing the hose of the vacuum and using it as a hand held. I figured if he was going to do that, he might as well vacuum the sofas!

See the gleam of pure happiness in his eye?!

He does back creases,

cushions, 

and front creases. 

Then, he inspects his work for quality control.

Yes, folks, he's for hire! But, by the way (and again, I'm 110% serious), he told me I was supposed to pay him a dollar (just like the car wash man when the car is all done).

first trip to the movies

Last Sunday we took Griffin to see Disney's movie, "earth." Because I thought it was going to have a lot of live animal footage, I thought he'd like it. Well....we did make it through the entire movie (which was a plus). 

Everyone loves popcorn!

Danny was VERY embarrassed that I brought a camera to the movies. But, he humored me.

Asking a million questions about the movies

Pointing to what he *really* wants...candy

It'll probably be a while before we make it back to the movies. But, we can check that "first" off our list!

Aunt Maria visited!

Aunt Maria came to visit a couple week ago...she helped clean Griffin's art supplies. Griffin loves to clean, Maria loves to organize, it's a match made in heaven.

A perfect pair...they're for hire.

# 6 in your programs, #1 in our hearts!

The Tarheels had their first game yesterday and it was a good day to wear Carolina Blue! You can see all Griffin's ball skills below.

That's a run...not a kick at an imaginary soccer ball!

Contemplating his next move...

At the end of the game, all the parents make a tunnel for the kids to run through...they ran through about 10 times each!

Griffin and Ella doing what they do best...playing (and I don't mean soccer!)

Just chillin' "I think my teammates have it under control..."

The cutest #6 EVER!

Daddy and G with Ella and Jeff...it was a little windy on those time outs!

Griffin, Ella and Sawyer. The smiles? That's because they just finished and got fruit snacks!

The 2009 Tarheels. I'm tellin' ya, see the kid in top row, third from the left? He's headed for the World Cup! See the kid in front of the coach (yeah, the one that looks like Danny?)? He had to get a firm hand on his shoulder to cooperate. That's why he's in front of the coach! I love my soccer playin' boy!

after the snow...

Everybody knows the best part of playing in the snow is the hot chocolate afterwards!

and marshmallows are always the best part of hot chocolate!

SNOW!

Last night we got a huge treat in Greensboro...FIVE inches of snow! We count this as Griffin's first "true" snow since it's the first time he's been out to play in it. And, he LOVED it! I think what he really loved was watching Riley in the snow

Riley loved it too!

He loved running in it, eating it...

posing with Daddy and Griffin in it!
Griffin loved throwing it and just generally looking cute in it.




Griffin did not, however, like his snow pants (they *may* have been a little tight around the middle!)
but they were oh so cute!

(yes, once again, the photos are backwards...I've given up!)
