First Sushi

We went to Ichiban Friday night to celebrate Mommy's birthday. Spencer was an adventurous eater - he tried miso soup and sushi. Yep, he bit into two pieces of raw tuna and said he liked it, but those two little tastes were enough. He ate part of his own piece of sushi (tamago/sweet egg) and thought it was neat. Mommy and Daddy chowed down on a big boat of sushi while Spencer enjoyed teriyaki chicken. We also got to feed the koi in the pond after dinner. It was a fun night with my boys!

 

Artsy

Daddy took Spencer to Hobby Lobby this week to stock up on art supplies. They bought an easel, paints, paint brushes, pastel chalks and lots of paper. I loved seeing Spencer so focused on his creations.

Shirtless. Husky voice from a cold. Mad rhythm. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy.

Fingerpainting

Last night Spencer tried to convince us to let him fingerpaint before bedtime, so we promised he could do some art today. First he did some traditional fingerpainting.

Then he worked on his brush technique. These pictures made me think of that character on Sesame Street who painted numbers on a sandwich using mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise. Remember?

I Dig Your Chili

Spencer and Daddy made taco chili for dinner last night. Cooking together is fun!

Soaring

"One day I want to ride in a submarine so I can soar through the ocean."

New Helmet

Spencer went for a spin on his bike today sporting his brand new helmet.
