Facial Hair

I can't grow much of a beard, but I like to try to grow one every once in a while. Generally, it occurs over a long weekend and I shave it off before I go to work on Monday. This past Thanksgiving I started my standard long weekend facial hair tradition, but midway (Saturday) through I decided to try the mustache. Right before we were to head out and take the kids to build-a-bear, I converted the beard to a mustache.....here was the result...

Amy: What the hell is that?
Joe: It's my new look.
Amy: Shave it off now, we are going out in public.
Joe: nah, I kinda like it
Amy: Please shave it off
Joe: You don't like it? It's sexy, Tom Selleck style. You know Magnum PI.
Amy: Sexy? The police wouldn't let you within 500 feet of a school with that thing on your lip. Shave it off, it's creepy.

A few videos for you sunday night viewing pleasure

Kate is quite the dancer....

Here is Tommy bouldering. We find it fascinating watching him problem solve on the wall. Which foot should go here, which hand should go here, etc.

Year End CSA Gathering

Last weekend was the year end CSA get together. Cider doughnuts, chili and pony rides...

Climbing

We enrolled Tommy in rock climbing at the local YMCA. We were not sure how a three year old would do in a rock climbing class, but he likes to climb on stuff at the house, so we decided to give it a shot. The results......he loved it!! It is kind of funny seeing a bunch of three and four year olds hanging out in helmets and harnesses. No pictures of him climbing up the wall, but we will try to get one of him next week.

Here is game they played called shark attack, not much climbing going on here, but they were having fun.

We also signed up Kate for mom and daughter Gymnastics. No pictures, but she sure did leave an impression on other moms. I believe they said "My she sure is strong willed". Kate does not like to wait her turn or get off the trampoline when her turn is done.....but she sure did have fun running away from the instructor when the instructor was trying to get her off the trampoline.
