Having the following conversations with the boys today reminded me that it's been a while since I've recorded anything they've done, so:
Looking at drawings of superheroes that Tor invented
Col: Mummay! This one is you.
Me: Who's it meant to be, Tor?
Tor:
[checks] That's Mustache Girl.
Col: So Mummay, it can be you!
In the car
Tor: Why do some restaurants have Christmas lights out? Is it Christmastime now?
Me: Sometimes people hang lights up just to look fancy, not for a holiday.
Tor: Holiday lights are only certain colors though.
Me: Like what color would Halloween lights be?
Tor: Halloween lights could be red or orange, or any fire color. Or purple. Or black.
Me: Black lights would be hard to see though.
Tor: They would have to be black with white. Like piano lights. Or checkerboard lights.
Here's a photo dump of the last three months, most notably including skiing in Austria with godparents Josh and April and what the British call a "mini-break" with the Fox-Iredale clan in the Cotswolds. Also: Tor and Col got super short haircuts because I was sick of their bangs always growing into their eyes faster than any other bits got too long and I went a little overboard in briefing the barber.
