Tuesday

We love Tuesday evenings at home.

Playing an imaginative game.  Mommy pretends

she isn't listening to him, or he gets embarrassed.

But, he was talking on his phone, using his gun,

and being real serious.  

Homework Club.  

We baked a couple of cookies, the easy way!

Mommy played Doctor, while Oliver took his

bath.  We had a ton of Snowman waiting

for their voices to return!

And Hallmark Our Christmas Countdown Radio!

(Sweet dreams.)

More Words

We went to the Y this evening a little early!  Oliver had a swim lesson, Mommy was able to get the lifeguards to let Oliver have a make-up swim lesson!  He is going to miss Saturday because of a race.  Oliver loved swimming tonite!

Crazy Kid.  Its really cold outside.  At least for 

San Diego.  Don't make fun of us!

Pretending to embrace the cold. 

He is really white.

Close the window!

Oliver and his teacher.  Oliver

pulled Mommy through the water like 

that tonight too!

After lessons, we waited for family swim to open.

First in the pool!

So, Oliver has been saying more funny words.

This one is, "Slow Folk!"  Trying to call

Mommy a "Slow Poke."  Silly Oliver.

Study time!  He has also been saying, "Scartastic," 

when Mommy says something sarcastic.  Its really

cute!

We finally caught the lights on at the house on Romeria Street:

16 Days left!  We had a good conversation

 about anticipation.

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.  

Mommy fell asleep writing this half way through.)

Neighborhood

Mommy picked up Oliver this afternoon.  We came home to play and then go for an errand walk to Trader Joes!

We stopped on the street in front of ours to

look at the lights!

Oh, Christmas tree...

Scooting!

We stopped at Major Market...

for the lobsters...

and dinner!

Then we went to Trader Joes, Oliver got Mommy

some inner peas.

He thought he would eat the lime....he found

out what sour really means!  

On the way home, our neighbor Kim, who we

saw at Trader Joe's was causing Mischief in the 

neighborhood.  We were on our way to lend

a hand and Mommy was going to run to get

some gas for her Mischievous Gas Tank who

decided to leave her stranded at the stop sign!

By the time we got there, some one was already on

their way.  So, we waited with her so she didn't

have to be alone.  (Being alone isn't fun sometimes.)

We love our neighbors and our neighborhood!

Mommy will capture a better Christmas picture soon!

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)

Swim Lesson

Oliver had his swim lesson today!  It went beautifully!

Happy Saturday!

Crossing the street.

Annual Poinsettia Sale!

It was cold!

Small class in December!  Yippie

for Oliver!

Homework for both of us afterwards!

Pretty Christmas tree!

Mommy will see her swimmer tomorrow at 5:00.

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)

Good Stuff

We had a Friday night full of good stuff!

We went for a good swim!

Saw some good icicles lights!

Pretty Poinsettias in the Y lobby.  Good stuff!  (Mommy has a friend

who might like that the Magdalena Ecke Y was started 

by the Ecke family who started growing poinsettias locally!)

(Here is Magdalena.)

(And Paul Ecke.)  Sorry the picture is

dark and fuzzy.  But just some good 

information about one of our favorite places to go!

Good cold night!

Oliver went in before Mommy and swam 

with Sharon!  He loves her!  Mommy is

glad he likes her so much!  She is a

good wonderful person.

Good friends!

Good walk down the blue path.  

Mommy appreciated the good times she has at

the pool with Oliver.  When he is not grabbing

at her body roughly in the pool.  That can be annoying.

Good worker in the remodeled lobby  This is a 

new set-up for getting into the gym.  Oliver 

was working the card scanning station tonight!

Happy Friday!
