First dance

Max went to his first school dance tonight. He started out dancing with his buddies and then spent the last 45 minutes sprinting around the gym playing tag. 

He indeed rocked it. 

Sunday fun day

We had a busy, busy Sunday. 

Each of the boys got some quality dad-and-dude time. I took Sam to Ivar's and the Aquarium and Max to the Husky basketball game. 

In and around those outings were some walks, a kids party and lots of fun... or as Sam currently describes it, "Wotsa, wotsa of fun."

Spiffy new shows

And a spiffy kid who can now tie his spiffy new shoes.

Yay, Max!

Reading up

Max moved up two whole reading levels and is now ripping through books he used to struggle with. To celebrate, we went out for cheeseburgers and sundaes. Max also got two new books. Lego Star Wars, of course.

Hats off to three year olds

Sam - 3 years, 2 months old

Max - 3 years, 1 month old

Did someone say they needed a hero?

Cheers to The Kid

I'm happy to report that this photo now contains 33% more record-breaking, first-ballot Hall of Famers.

Happy New Year!
