New interests


Here are a few more recent pictures.  We took the kids to a mini golf course which was very fun for Griffin.  He's not really into the rules and such but he really liked the holes where you knock a ball into a hole and it comes out on a lower green.  He kept running back and forth dropping the balls down and racing back to get there ahead of it.  Here are Griff and Brie: 


A couple days ago Griffin decided Matilda was hungry.  He went into the pantry, took down her rice cereal, put it in a bowl, added water, grabbed a spoon, and mixed it up all by himself.  He came to get me and told me he had made Matilda's lunch.  I was so impressed I let him feed her.  Now if we could only teach him to change diapers.


Griffin gets on these "kicks".  Lately he's really into knights and castles and dragons.  He saw the movie Sword & the Stone (not bad..) and got a book on it too.  He makes up scenarios and uses a drumstick as a magic wand.  He said he now wants to be a knight for Halloween and we were going to make him an outfit, but then we found this set for 7 dollars at a thrift store.  It seemed like a no-brainer.


Here's Griffin and his friend Max having a sword fight outside.  They are using foam swords that are actually pretty safe.  


Sometimes Griffin can't decide whether he wants to be Spider-Man or a knight for Halloween.  Yesterday he said he wants to wear both costumes.  Spidey on the bottom with the knight helmet and chest plate over it.  Pretty creative I think.  There'll be pictures.

He also saw Wall*E (twice) and he's really into that.  He quotes the movie and calls me Eva, and tries to imitate the voices.  YouTube has a bunch of promotional shorts and I made the mistake of showing them to Griffin one morning when we were just sitting around.  Now whenever he sees me on the computer he climbs up and request the Wall*E movies.  Very funny.  Incidentally the movie was great, so I'm fine with it.  At least it's not Shrek or Scooby-Do or something inane.
