Earning Your Keep

Bradley loves a good fire at Grandpa's house. It doesn't matter if it is inside or outside. He is even willing to help haul wood for the fireplace. Ben is not as helpful. His main responsibility is looking cute. After all that hard work, the boys got to roast hot dogs and marshmallows on the new outdoor fire pit. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Take Your Time

Ben has recently started a sport class with Coach Kyle. The first week was soccer. The next week the weather was nice enough to play T-ball outside (in Chicago in mid-November!) It was the first time I have ever seen someone mosey the bases.

Working It

On Thurday night the boys road the rails downtown to visit mommy at work. Bradley thought it was cool since he could write on the wall at mommy's new office. It was also awesome that there was a McDonald's at the train station.

Nakie Night Night

When putting on jammies, Ben likes to do some streaking while saying, "Nakie Nakie". One night he dove into bed and said "Nakie Night Night".

Cleaning Leg Store

The "cleaning leg store" was open for business on Sunday night.

Last Hurrah

The family had a great day on Sunday. The started off right since everyone slept in their bed all night for the first time in a week. To celebrate, we went to the airplane restaurant. The boys got to see a couple take offs and landings. Since the weather was so unbelievably good, we went to the children's garden at the arboretum. Lots of other people had the same idea. I think we were in the post-church, pre-football rush. But wait, there's more! We had to break out the bikes for one last spin.

Moo Moo Here

Ben's talking has really improved lately. He has even begun to sing.
