We (okay, not me) showed Grami Tami our Halloween costumes and all of the skills that accompany them.
We went to a special night time storytime at the library. We (okay, again not me) wore our pajamas and brought our favorite bedtime stuffed animal.
We made some teddy bear art after storytime and tried to help some sort of world record for the largest storytime.
We were ridiculously cute and excited that Grami Tami was here and that we had her undivided attention.
We showed Grami Tami around the preschool, used the magnet letters to make words with her (this one's for you Mel and Curtis), and Milo introduced Mrs. Bonnema to Grami Tami. It went a little something like this,"Mrs. Bonnema? I'd like you to meet my Grami (out goes the Vanna White hand). Her name is Tami....and she's FUNNY like you!!" (He'd said over and over again that he wanted to tell her that Grami Tami was a TEACHER like her. Somehow, the "funny" fact won out. ;) )
We hit the farmers' market, bought a ton of peaches and other produce, decorated some squash, and did our best to sample everything they offered.
We hung out in Old Town, wandered through an Obama rally, and FINALLY got to see Spencer (after he had a very long week at work filled with long days at trainings).
We showed off Milo's black eye to any and all. (He took a header right into the corner of the tile entryway at my parents' house--glasses can save your eyes or turn you into a prize fighter in a case like that.) It turns out that all men over the age of about 50 must be genetically wired to say, "Wow! What does the other guy look like?!!" every time they see a little boy with a black eye. Seriously. Every man. Over the age of 50. All week.
It deserves it's own post really. Spencer hit his "before I turn 30" fitness goal this weekend. He climbed a 5.13b route!!!!! He's worked on it and trained for it for sooo long. We were so excited for him and he was, I think, so relieved to have done it--with a few months to spare before his 30th birthday even! (We both set "before I turn 30" fitness goals when we were 27...mine was the marathon.) We love you Spencie!!! (Even if you won't let us take a normal/cute picture of you when we're out getting gelato to celebrate your climb! ;) )

That is one awesome black eye. And I love the stripped socks with shorts. Classic.
What a fun week! Milo does look tough, I won't lie. Good job, Spencie! You ROCK! (hahaha)
cute, cute, cute! I love their hats and the old men comments- I believe it! And Yay for Spencer!
Wow, what a fun filled weekend! I'm glad the kids got to spend some time with their Grami. Congrats spencer! And way to go on the black eye Milo! It looks cool! =)
Fun week! I love grandmas!! Congrats to Spenc...not sure how long or what a 5.13b route is, but sounds awesome!
I love you before 30 goal. I gave up on goals, but maybe I can do a before 31 goal...
You guys sure know how to live it up!
Milo's eye looks pretty rough but it makes him look so tough...
And congratulations to Specer on that climb...that is so awesome!
Tell Spencer we are in awe! What a great idea to set before 30 goals except that I am already 30..and feel so old. Boo hoo! By the way, ran three miles yesterday and boy do I have a ways to go until the 10k, it was so ugly! Anywho...sounds like you guys had a great weekend. Kiss Milo's litte eye for me since he is my boyfriend and tell the kids we miss them! Ken is saving tokens for the ghetto family fun center for those guys to come with her and enjoy.
that is so funny about the old men comments all being the same... guess it goes with the territory.
good job Spencer on the climb, I too am not sure what that means, but I am sure it is tough.
