Book it

Max is now reading chapter books on his own. His first is Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, which was one of Elisa's favorites when she was a little girl.

Looks like he might have the bookworm gene from his mom!

Dreaming of Opening Day

Boys will be boys

Crushing cheeseburgers

Playing in the park

Rolling in the park

Hiking in the park

And doing whatever this is.
Some highlights from the weekend of the boys doing boy things:

The 2017 edition of the Greenes

Happy New Year, from the Grapes!

Here's to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2017. Oh, and also a potty-trained Sam!

Christmas 2016

I mean how could you not spoil these two?!

They teamed up on some present unwrapping

Assisted mom and dad on other gifts

Max took home the biggest haul with his own new iPad


Santa Max and our digital fire


The before...


and aftermath.

Making wrapping paper angels

We also made fresh squeezed orange juice with Grandma Patti

And closed the night out with an incredible Mama Elisa Christmas dinner
Another holiday in the books and despite some tantrums, tattling and occasional brawling, the Greene brothers made Santa's nice list.

Merry Christmanukkah!

We're covered all of our bases:

Christmas ships ✔️
Letters and cookies for Santa ✔️
First night of Hanukkah ✔️
Sam singing Happy Birthday when we lit the candles on the menorah ✔️✔️✔️

Merry Christmas from the Greene house

Another Sunday Funday

We watched a 3D IMAX film

Learned about oxygen

Ate cheeseburgers

Checked out the Christmas trains

Played

Laughed

Built and tested rocket ships

Made instruments

And even climbed inside an instrument

A fun day indeed.
This was nine days ago, but still worth sharing. The boys and I spent a Sunday Funday at Seattle Center.

Can you tell Home Alone has been on repeat in our house for the last three weeks?!
