Cars Nap

The Hobbit Wife has long enjoyed what she calls a "cars nap," where she dozes while one or more of her children drive matchbox cars on her, like a massage.

The tools of massage. If you've never tried it, you're missing out.

Valentines

The Hobbit Wife and the Mayor managed to catch Ninja Grammy making a pre-dawn delivery.

Seimi and Eejee turned the candy into a battleship.

Taking Flight

 This past weekend, Boookie got the chance to go up flying for the first time, and now has 1 hour of official logged time in the cockpit.

Boookie was "smooth and skilled" in the words of the flight instructor.

Boookie took this photo while the flight instructor had control.

Boookie taxiing and taking off in a Cessna 172S. And yes, he was in the pilot seat and at the controls for takeoff.

Many years ago, around the same age as Boookie, the Mayor got to experience flying in a small craft. 

Miscellaneous

Seimi and Eejee like to create their own unique spin on household chores. Here they are attacking the carpet with foam weapons.

Here they are using a pair of condemned pants as a garbage bag.

Here is Seimi posing with his LEGO Bismark battleship.

And here is a LEGO steampunk flying contraption.

Here is Eejee with a smaller-scale model of the USS Fletcher destroyer.

Eejee created an apartment for one of his stuffed animals out of Jenga blocks.

Here is Jenga Minas Tirith

Somebody resurrected the hideous satsuma orange creature and he is once again haunting the fruit bowl, growing uglier by the day.

The Hobbit Wife and the Mayor discovered this unusual but beautiful ice formation in a parking lot pothole while going for a stroll one cold morning.
