Snow Fun!

While Mom was away (on the phone here), Dad and I had fun with the snow.

Dad shoveled the driveway, and I worked on building a snow house.

It takes a bit of work to do it myself.  I have to load the snow into the brick mold, pack it down...

And then place it where I want it.

Come on over here and help me Dad!

Breaking the Gingerbread House

Remember when demolishing a house, always wear protective gear, like safety glasses!

I'm ready for my demo!

You have to make sure you crush the top of the house in first...

This way it is easier to knock the roof completely off.

Then you can take out the walls, to level it to the ground

Make sure to use a good force from the inside to the outside, to force the wall to fall out correctly.

And to crush the paths on the outside to a pulp as well.

You're movement should be controlled but forceful.

Until the house is no more.

Afterwards, it is a good idea to make sure to do any fine work with the other tools.

Such as a screwdriver to pry up those hard to crush pieces.

Which can be stuck on the ground.

And that is how you demo a gingerbread house in the proper way.

Epic Battle on the Stairs

I made an epic battle between my different figurines on the stairs.

Opps!

Sorry about the taillight Mom.. I didn't mean for the baseball to hit it.

Soccer Practice

Time for more soccer practice.. Hopefully today we get to do a scrimmage...

I've got the back kick switch down well I think.

And a good kick for scoring on the goal.

Oh No... I've become a dinosaur!  I must be in Dino-Soccer!

I shall now find a victim to destroy.

If I don't fall asleep first.

YEAH!  It's time for a scrimmage!

Playing around at MOP

It's always a fun time at MOP... Today we headed over first to move some ball around the room.

Eventually we headed upstairs to the arcade, where I played one of my new favorite games...

The Helicopter one... I'm still working to get really good at it...

I tried to pull a sword from a stone... but it wouldn't budge...

So I head over to run the fruit stand.

Okay back to games.. This time PINBALL!

I played on the biggest pinball machine there is... Hercules! 

And Mom and I built a HUGE tower... when we then knocked down ;)

Tea Room Lunch

Today we went for lunch at a local tea room, and had real brewed tea in fancy teacups!

I'm making my green tea and mint tea just the way I like it!

AT-AT Creation

Check it out!  I made an AT-AT, complete with Stormtroopers manning it...

And more items (an AT-ST) inside!

Skateboarding - January

It's the New Year.. Time to work on my skateboarding skills!

I've the balancing part down well.

So I think it's something I'll be able to do better, with more practice.

Almost the New Year!

For New Years Eve, we celebrated at one of my favorite places... the Science Museum!

I enjoy the new exhibit on elements and weather.

And Dad and I built an epic building that stood up to a massive shake.

I tried to power up the city in the best way... Sometimes it even works :)

And I spent some time climbing the wall.

Then we ran into my friend F.

So we spent some time hanging out and playing together.

I think we're all having a good time here.

It's definitely a good way to ring in the New Year!

With Family...

 And friends!

Right Mom?

Dad and I always have a good time.

And we are both goofy!

So many 2017 bring us good times....

And good cheers!
