We
also watching fun action movies for Grand Janet's birthday, inspiring
Lee to ask if we had any trench coats... (11/15/23)
|
 |  |
None of this is a trench coat, but it's what Lee found in the closet. They do look a little like they could fit into The Last Action Hero or Romancing the Stone. (11/15/23)

|
 |
Fred's
nose peeks over the edge of our Thanksgiving table, wondering if he
might perhaps get a serving of mashed potatoes. Or anything else,
really. (11/23/23)
|
 |
The traditional olive hands are getting harder to assemble as the fingers get bigger. (11/23/23)
|
 |  |
Lee started eating the olives off their hands almost immediately. (11/23/23)
|
 |
After dinner nap with the best possible pillow. (11/23/23)
|
 |  |
I
told Lee they pick which of two identical packages they wanted.
They responded as if stumped by an impossible riddle.
(11/23/23)
|

|
 |  |
This one, however, seems to be more of a shape than a man. (11/25/23)
|
 |  |
So many shapes, and so many men. (11/25/23)
|
 |  |
Now Lee is the tree. (11/25/23)
|
 |
Trying to solve Gro Cube together. (11/28/23)
|
 |
It's a very challenging puzzle. (11/28/23)
