LEGO Week 2

2013-12-15

I hope you all like pictures of LEGOs, since that is about all we did this week, too.

Actually, we had more fun than that, but no pictures to share. Daddy and I went to see a holiday train this week - we stood outside in the cold (zero degrees Fahrenheit) and listened to music and saw all the lights on the box cars, and then we waited for the train to leave so I could watch it start moving. That was a lot of fun. Plus, I got to watch Curious George in Daddy's office while we waited for the train to arrive.

And I had a follow-up with the guy who cut out my tonsils. He says everything looks good and he's happy to hear I'm not snoring any more, sleeping better, and not getting sick every other weekend.

Now on to the pictures.

Mommy made vegetarian tacos for us this week. They had red, green, and yellow peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, black beans, roasted red potatoes, scrambled eggs, and cheese. Mommy and Daddy loved them! I had Taco Toast, which was very good also.

[Daddy's note: Taco Toast, invented by Mommy, is just the same taco we ate with two tortillas to make it a sandwich - Henry will eat just about anything if you call it toast]

As promised, more LEGO action. Mommy and Daddy have ben competing to see who can make the most amazing train layout. Mommy did a figure-eight.

Is there really anything to say about this?

Extreme close-up!

Daddy did a figure-eight, too - but his was different. He also built a tower on top of the elevated track, but I knocked it over before Daddy could take a picture.

And my tent reappeared this week, so I have been playing with it again. I really like to crawl in with a snack and watch some Curious George.

Ahhh...this is the life....

This weekend we stayed home. On Saturday, I went with Mommy and Daddy and they picked out a new garage door opener. On Sunday, Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne came over and Daddy and Grandpa spent the afternoon in the garage installing the new opener. They were very cold, since the temperature was closer to my age than anything reasonable for working outside.

And that is it for the week. Four more days of school and I get two weeks off!

Lots of birthdays this coming week: Uncle Neil, Grandpa Joe, Uncle Josh, and Grandpa Kevin! Happy birthday to all!

Take care everyone - drive safely and stay warm!
