Nolan and Gramma found a mouse in the basement window well.
He's looking for the vent that leads to the dryer.
Nolan made himself comfortable and watched as the mouse dug tunnels in the snow.
"Could you open the window, so I could come in?"
Nolan likes to move Grampa's buckets around.
They come with convenient handles.
Nolan likes to play chess.
His game is a bit unconventional.
He has a preference for the rook.
When I realized one was missing,
I went on the hunt for it.
I tried to think like Nolan and found it quickly in the pocket of the pool table.
I don't know if it was a solid or a stripe.
At least I found it quicker than the baby monitor,
which took me a week to find.
He does like the bishop, too.
Nolan wasn't certain about finger painting.
He looked for a cloth to wipe his fingers.
He got more comfortable when mixing the colors.
He became more interested in what was happening on the paper,
than what his fingers looked like.
The best part of finger painting is washing up!
This one of a kind smock was found on Grampa's t-shirt shelf.
Seth decided to forego the finger painting.
After having his snack, he was ready to look things over.
Notice his "piano" fingers.
Seth attends his first Gentlemen's Friday.
He's very glad Mommy is invited, too.
This week Grampa went over to Mary and Ray's to check on their furnaces.
It was leaking before
They have a room in their attic for the upstairs furnace.
When he went to leave the room, the door would not open.
His mind was racing to the fact that Mary and Ray were not expected back for a month.
And I wouldn't look for him for hours.
I would have assumed he went somewhere to get parts.
It seems the latch handle on the door wouldn't work when you pushed down on it.
Fortunately, pushing up on the latch allowed the door to open.
He was glad not to have to share a room with the mice for the rest of winter.
Mousie At the Olympics
by Gramma
Mousie is one of the Olympic coaches. Most Olympic coaches have one event to train for, but Mousie trains mice for all of them. He can skate, sled, ski and snowboard. He is the best at all the events. He's the oldest coach in the Olympics. He's in his 60s, which is older than Grampa.
When there are no Olympics, he trains mice to run from cats, to jump into vents and ice skate in the winter for fun.
Mousie has won ten gold medals. Mousie can skate and not fall down. He can sled fast. He can jump and flip with his snowboard. The U.S.A is glad to have him as a coach. Nathan is glad to have him as his pal.
