Creative

Tucker has been showing quite the creative side to himself lately. He is using his imagination to turn normal things into things he wants to be playing with.

 

Here he is with a golf club using it as a telescope to look for pirates in the backyard.

 

 

Here he is using a funnel as a microphone to sing into.

 

 

 

Here he took his Halloween costume and Griffin's to combine

them to make Marshall from Paw Patrol. 

Accident Prone

I have decided that Tucker is going to be my accident prone child. The other day he was playing in the home center at school and tripped on a rug and the corner of the table he landed on won. Thankfully he didn't get his eye and that it was a rounded corner and not pointed. He is going to have a nice scrape on his face for a while.

Book Character Day

Today at school was dress up as your favorite book character to celebrate the book fair going on. The boys don't really have favorite characters so I picked their favorite book and went with it. Tucker loves the book, You Are My Sunshine, (could be because mommy used to sing it to him while she rocked him) so he had a shirt with a sun on it. Griffin loves farm books so he was a cow. They both were doing great in the parade until Griffin saw Mommy and that was the end of the parade for him.

 

Firetrucks and Friends

This afternoon the boys were invited to Tristian's birthday party. Tucker and Tristian were in the same class last year at school. Even though we don't see them very much now they pick up as if no time has passed at all. Tucker also got to play with a former classmate, Parker, too. He sure does miss his friends from TCS. The boys loved getting to ride in a firetruck and see how it works and spend time with some old friends.

Sharing

 More times than not the boys do not share whatever it is they are playing with, eating, etc. The other afternoon was one of those rare occasions that the boys were sharing. I had been giving Griffin tiny pieces of apple and then Tucker decided to give him a piece of his. Griffin enjoyed eating apple like a big boy like brother. 

Labor Day

After being in school for almost 3 weeks, we needed a 3 day weekend from school. Griffin got ear infections in both ears last week and we found out the next day his room had mold in it due to a leaking pipe in the attic. He has been bunking in Mommy and Daddy's room and him and Mommy aren't getting much sleep.

Last night we got together with the Traphagan side of the family to celebrate Labor Day and the Griffin side tonight. The boys sure do love getting to play with their cousins.

Growing up, Pop (Mommy's dad), always made homemade ice cream. He still likes to make it on special occasions. Tucker was his assistant this afternoon with mixing up the ice cream and helping put in more ice and rock salt. Griffin and Tucker both enjoyed getting to eat Pop's ice cream. Tucker went back for 3rds!

School

Both of the boys seem to be adjusting pretty well to our new school. Tucker goes in every morning without a problem and Griffin is getting better about Mommy walking away from him. They are both learning so much. Here are some pictures of them at school this past week.
