Seth and Nolan have arrived for an extended stay,
while Mommy and Daddy fly off to Oklahoma,
where the wind comes rushing o'er the plain.
Seth is anxious to get to work.
He has a lot planned, including shopping.
At first we wondered what Seth was doing in the pantry.
He thankfully was not after the Miller Lite,
or as Matt says "Old Man's Beer."
He and Nolan wanted the water bottles.
ALL the water bottles.
Seth and Nolan had been to Kohl's Children's Museum and enjoyed the store there.
They located their store on the kitchen table.
It included water, boxed broth, pastas, beans;
basically everything on the lower shelves of the pantry.
Seth decided he would open a coffee shop.
Later they opened a restaurant, as well.
Nolan was the waiter, and needs to work on his delivery,
or his tips may suffer.
He came up to the customer's table and gruffly said,
"What do you want?"
But the customer took no notice and ordered lots to eat.
The service was speedy, which made up for the food being a bit tasteless.
We have branched out from manhole covers.
Who knew these were here?
And why are they here?
And how do you get them open?
And why are they green?
Gramma and Nolan are baking black bean brownies today.
Nolan has his Grampa's passion for cooking.
He even volunteers to do the tasting.
While Nolan was cooking, he decided to try an apple.
I found this after we cleaned up.
It's a good thing Gramma uses real apples for decorations.
We worked on our T-ball.
Gramma's invention from Andrew and Nathan's days
still seemed to work.
We had to improvise for Seth's batting tee.
It was much closer to golf tee height.
His stroke looks more like a golfer's as well.
Nolan on the other hand is ready for the big leagues.
Notice Grampa's tree branches.
These are what are left after a day of sawing firewood.
And we enjoyed some water time.
It took about 10 seconds before Seth was soaked.
Note to self: don't change his diaper just before water activities.
Naptime is over. We had to wake them.
Even Seth is too sleepy to realize it's snack time.
Seth enjoys his piano lessons.
The first step is to feel the rhythm.
His dancing ability is showing again.
Gramma's lilac bouquet shed all over the table.
But Nolan had an idea for how to clean it up.
Grampa might have to make a wider foot stool.
Seth is not about to miss the action.
Grampa and the boys prepared Gramma's coconut.
Once you poke the coconut in a couple of eyes,
you must drain the water.
The best part is cracking it open with a hammer.
Nolan gives Daddy a few tips on a game.
Daddy impresses Nolan with his skill.
News from the California Gentlemen
Ryan Joseph now has a chauffeur.
And Andrew has a back seat driver.
Andrew takes center stage.
Something tells me this won't be the last time.
And you can't be a performer without an audience.
The boys are kindergarten graduates.
