reading
Tobin reading to Nick. He's only read this book a few times, but has it memorized to the word! I love the fidgety feet.

skiing
Went skiing today with the boys. Nick and I got out for a few laps last week, and today we all made it up. Nick has been TOTALLY amped about skiing ever since the first snow fell on the mountains in September. Last weekend he insisted on walking from the truck carrying his skis. Which is no small feat for someone who is barely 3' tall. Today they both ripped it up on the magic carpet with Coen.
There is no question Nicholas is a skier. He's determined to ski on his own, climb on and off the magic carpet by himself as well as take his skis on and off alone. He's also trying SO hard to snowplow, but I think his little legs aren't quite strong enough yet to force his skis apart.
Tobin has improved vastly over last year and will be skiing on his own before the end of the month. He's still a little shakey on his new skis, but like everything he does, he'll one day decide it's time to show these suckers how to ski and probably bust out a 360 or something.

Bring it.
Sporting his new helmet
Our serious looks
This way dad!
Practicing his slopestyle
Exhausted and irrational on the way home. Didn't want to take his boots, helmet googles or shark mitts off. Clutching Diego like his life depended on it.

Patio Boats
There is little else in the world that Tobin and Nick love more than patio boats. Here Tobin gives us a tour of his latest patio boat. Meanwhile, Nick is talking to Ann-Marie on the phone.

Trug or Trating
The Halloween tide came and went, leaving about 50lbs of candy washed up on the counter. I've been trying to moderate the kids intake, but I really should be trying to moderate my own intake...
Heeeeeyaaaaa Candy Mules!
Posing with their pumpkins.
Tobin is a turtle and Nick is a dragon.
Nick's costume was a little cumbersome for him. He couldn't see very well with the dragon's overhanging snout, plus he had big dragon feet and hands on, limiting his dexterity. Consequently he would be a bit behind on getting to the door. Inevitably Tobin would get to the door first, knock and politely say: "Trick or treat".
Nick would be about 10 seconds behind, stagger up the steps on his hands and knees, ending up on the wrong side of the screen door. He'd then have to navigate back around the screen door at the top of the steps to the correct side. Eventually he would get to the door, and if it hadn't been opened yet he would pound on it with his fist and yell " TRUG OR TRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
TRUG OR TRATE-ing
