Why Everyone Needs an Uncle Sam


My favorite brother in law is here visiting which has Grace and Ethan pretty excited. Sam scored big when he built the tallest block tower our living room has ever seen this morning. It was pretty impressive. In fact it was so impressive that nobody wanted to knock it over!

We walked to the elementary school playground by our home this morning and had a good time playing. Grace showed Uncle Sam how much fun the small blue slide was and he talked her into going down the big green one a few times. One big green slide is really three in one so both kids went down at the same time as Uncle Sam which was quite the Grand Finale. Ethan LOVES slides and spent most of his time at the playground going down one. It's so cute to watch him scoot his little behind to push himself down!

Now the boys are at a Blazer game with my brother Brian which I'm sure they're enjoying. We'll probably head out to the beach at some point to visit Uncle Ed and Aunt Diane's new place in Otis (and score an Otis Cafe breakfast at the same time!). Otherwise we'll be hanging out here and keeping Sam occupied with learning how to dance ballet (and what exactly a tondu is supposed to look like) with a little Wii Disney Princess video games. If he's lucky he might get to throw balls with Ethan and play a few more rounds of Street Fighter with David. Life is pretty exciting at our house!
