Self-serve snacking: We had to put a lock on the pantry doors.
Monkey see, monkey do. A common theme around our house these days.
Washing dishes (or just playing in the water...but either way, a good 30 minutes of entertainment!)
The day I did what I swore I never would: I turned a blind eye while Thomas mixed play-doh colors. Note the Santa hat. He sniffed it out after I squirreled it away.
"But Thomas washes his hands by himself..."
A new favorite hiding spot
Brotherly goofing around during lunch one day. When TJ is kind to Josiah, it's easy to see that they are best buds.
Balloon races in the sunroom--a great game started by our babysitter.
Alice sent Thomas a sweater that Ed's grandma had knitted for Ed as a little boy. It fits Thomas pretty well and he really likes to wear it (we've deemed it "church only" to keep it intact).
We still have boxes to unpack (the number is dwindling, though, thanks to Ed's perseverance!). We finished unpacking all the huge hanging garment boxes a long while back, but saved the boxes with plans to make an awesome box house when winter started getting long. Voila, awesome box house!
It's also known as "another place for TJ to collect and store stuff." This kid is a stasher. A box, a bag, you name it--he fills it with toys, treasures, anything he can get his hands on. He recently discovered scotch tape and now secures any boxes he fills and asks me to send them to various friends/cousins. Currently in the box house is another large-ish box filled with slippers, a trumpet, a saxophone, scrap wood, a few balls, and gold doubloons.
Thomas helps Ed finish installing a curtain rod. Who needs a ladder when Daddy is tall?!
One day we visited Ed at work. Thomas loved seeing all the machines and the robot.
