Hide-n-Seek/in a Hammock

Nolan wants to play hide'n'seek with Gramma. 
He's hiding behind the couch in the office.

He is very quiet when he hides.

When Andrew would hide, he couldn't keep quiet for anything.

 

 

Nolan can hide in some very small spaces.

 

 

 

 He likes Grampa and Gramma to find things for him to vacuum up.
The leaves from Gramma's plants barely hit the floor before Nolan sucks them up.

 

Grampa and Nolan must have the same stylist.

Their shirts are reverse images.

They even wear their sleeves the same.

 

 



 

When Nolan arrived, Gramma commented on his "Cubs" cap.

Matt shook his head in disgust and informed me, "It's a Bears cap."

Matt had a White Sox cap when he was little.

 

 

If it's very cold, Nolan wears a hat over his baseball cap.

 

 

Gramma has a comforting touch with Seth.

Or she bores him.

 

Nolan is happy to have Seth, Mommy and Daddy join us for dinner.

A wild time makes for a lot of fun.

 

 

The only clue to who's who is the presence of Mousie.

Mousie is pretending to be a mouse.

 

 

This looks like a skinny hammock to me.

 

 

But I guess there's room for two.

 

 

It Takes a Team to Make a Dream

by Gramma

 

 

Piggie got on a jet and went to the Olympics.  His pal, Mousie, was there.  The U.S.A. picked them to play hockey on the team.  Mousie was the goalie, because he can do all things so well.  Piggie had a gift for winning in a shoot out.  He was the U.S.A.'s top shooter.

 

 



 

The day of the game was here.  Mousie and Piggie had their sticks and pads.  The Olympics made the puck cold, so it slides well on the ice.  The game ended in a tie, so both teams had to shoot three more times.  PIggie shot the puck into the goal three times.  But the other team got three shots in, too.  It was still a tie, so both teams had to shoot the puck until there was no more tie. 

 

The U.S.A. asked Mousie to be the goalie.  Mousie stopped the puck with his butterfly block.  No pucks got past him. 

 

 

Then it was Piggie's turn to take a shot.  He likes to play hockey in Minnesota, where it's cold.  He looked at the goalie's eyes.  When he saw him blink, he shot the puck fast.  Piggie was so fast the goalie did not see the puck.  The puck went into the net.  And the U.S.A. won.

 

Piggie and Mousie won a gold medal for playing so well.
