Goodbye, Dear Dear Toby

 

Pancakes At School

There's nothing quite like our most-Sundays tradition of making pancakes together at home! Mimi's fave recipe that she made for me; a lot of help from both of you (depending on your mood and other interests), and a lot of stirrring!

But there is something extra stirring about the opportunity to come up to your school and- with the help of a lot of other kids and dads- to make pancakes for you and your classmates!

That's right...it's time for our second annual DOGS (Dads of Great Students) Pancake Breakfast!!

I love coming up to your school and being with you! Nothing could be sweeter. Except for syrup. Which is pretty sweet. But it's also sticky. 

Nuts in November

Man oh Man...so many memories...so little time...between the candy-driven costumed tomfoolery of Halloween and Thanksgiving, we had a lot of low-key and high-key (and some off-key) fun in the month of November.

I love your creativity, your ability to push through boredom into an area of pure creativity and fun...

Spy games

I love your artwork, your super spy task force, your crafts, your outdoor play, your dancing. I love playing outside with you, playing games, seeing movies. I love taking you to birthday parties and watching the insanity and watching you test your limits and try new things with friends. 

November 2018 may be long-since over as I write this, and a lot of these little memories may already be out in the ether, but I have some photographic evidence of the fun we had, the silliness that ensued, and of your amazing growth. 

I love you both. To November and back again. Is that deep or crappy? Either way...I love you so much. 

We had lots of artwork...

Julia's rainbow kitty unicorn mermaids. 

... abstract color pieces by Aidan...

...and a lot more!

There was Puppy LOVE...

Writing practice...

Birthday PARTIES galore... 

Picking (and pickling) Peppers... and flowers...

May your lives always provide as much fun- if not more- than a lazy, crazy, fun, and sweet early November.
