For Grandpa & Daddy

Here's what we've been up to while Daddy's toiling away (ha!) in Africa and Grandpa is holding the fort down in Idaho.

Making some St. Patrick's Day cookies with Grandma:


The boys attended Pirate Academy and had the little-known favorite pirate snack...popcorn!



Noah wanted to wear glasses just like Grandma:


Shelby "playing" with dolls, much to Grandma's delight. If poking their eyes out counts as playing, then I guess that's what Shelby is doing:


And here's Grandma & the kiddos on our quarterly trip to the Roxbury, this time staying in the "Glamouroque" room, my favorite thus far! (and don't look too close at Shelby here, she recently discovered that her fingers fit nicely up her nose!)


The boys were surprised with a new puzzle/maze toy (in other words, a bribe to keep 'em quiet and somewhat behaved):


I suspect the biggest appeal of going to the Roxbury for the boys isn't the fun of the hotel, but the fact that they get to watch giant flat screen TVs in bed (since they are deprived and we have neither giant flat screen TVs nor TVs in bedrooms):


Oh, and by the way, Mark, you'll be happy to know that Connor wants his next room to be a "Glamouroque" room!
