Grandma Gayle in the kitchen

This is from summer in Florida. Jupiter got mad at me and x'd the drawing but then forgave me and did a lovely coloring job.

Fun times after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender

We are so hooked on this show.

Guest artist, Justice Johnson

Look at this beautiful, expressive drawing of our family. The tall one is mama. That's Jupiter int he rainbow dress, and James and Justice right below her. That little baby in the picture, is of course, baby Popi.

A short game of frisbee in Golden Gate Park

Actually the game didn't last beyond this discussion. But we did chase the soccer ball around, Justice holding my hand while we ran, chasing Jupiter with the ball and laughing. Popi and James played frisbee without the complication of who would get to be shagger, and James turned out to be really good at it. I think frisbee might just be his sport.

Halloween Night

After that to-do with the unicorn costume and after trick-or-treating, the real fun came sitting ont he steps, eating candy and waiting for trick-or-treaters to come to our house.

Eating Pizza at Escape from New York on Haight Street.

Poor Jupiter couldn't even finish her root beer. It turns out she had a fever so I took her home and we watched Snow Buddies. Popi took James and Justice to the playground.

James makes up fake homework for himself that involves drawing...monsters.

Grandma Pat reads Halloween books.

On this trip Grandma Pat brought some wonderful Halloween books that were a big hit all around.


See the bloody hand prints on the window behind? Some of the many creepy decorations for Halloween James bought with his own money at Walgreens.
