Mastering New Heights/California Christmas Carols

 

We would do anything to make Nolan laugh.

ANYTHING!

 

 

 

 Nolan has his way of playing with Legos.

And Grampa has his.

 



 

I left Grampa alone for just two minutes and look what he's done.

I'm coming as fast as I can, Grampa.

 

 

You don't have to show me what to do. 

It's instinctual.

 

 

Grampa couldn't take it anymore.  The pantry was next on his list.

He really gets close to his work.

When Matt saw the finished pantry,

he asked his dad if he had taken all the shelves out before painting.

Terry looked horrified and said, "Of course."

 

 

The hardest part of painting a pantry is taking all the food out and putting it back.

When I saw the table I asked if we would be allowed to use the pantry anymore. 

Or would everything remain on the table to keep the pantry pristine.

 It's not alphabetized, but it's organized according to the aisles in the grocery store.
Or the way he thinks the aisles should be organized.  The only aisles he's been down at the grocery store are the peanut butter, cereal and orange juice (which doesn't go in the pantry) aisles.
 

 

The twins warned me about this.

 

The old blockade is back.  Nolan is very good at climbing steps. 

He did them at least six times on Friday.

We are working on going down the stairs, which he does very well, too. 

But he hasn't learned it's not a good idea to turn around to check his progress.

 

 

Daily Double from California

 

 

There are two new frogs in California.

They come out when it rains.

 



 

And one new monkey.

He comes out when it's cold.

 

 

I hope he's bringing his superhero costume when he comes to visit Gramma.

She could use one.

 

 

He's got style to burn.  Of course, he fits in Califonia.

 

 

Lions, Tigers and Bears - Oh my!

 

 

Santa must know these two are very good boys.

Just check with their Gramma.

 

There may not be any snow, but the Christmas tree lets children know the time is near.

 

 

Season Greetings from my angels.
