Nap Time!

This is me, very very tired, and just crashing on the couch...

Please be quiet!  Do not disturb the sleeping Spencer!

Farmer Spencer Here!

Hey!  Look at these crazy overalls!  It makes me look like a farmer ... though, I don't have a tractor!  I definitely need a tractor if I'm going to dress like this on a regular basis!

So, with that in mind, I'm off to get a tractor and grow some broccoli!

It's Tax Day!

So, rather then going on about everything, I figure I should just give you something relaxing and fun to look at...  Flowers (and plants) from the Botanical Gardens!

See you tomorrow!

Botanical Gardens

On their latest visit, I also got to take Grandma and Grandpa to the Chicago Botanical Gardens!  It was a really neat place with lots of things to look at.  First, we wandered around the gardens!

Then, I was off to show them some really nice paintings!

Once that was done, it was off to the greenhouse where they have all sorts of tropical plants.  I took Mommy down some stairs, very carefully as I know she isn't that great on them!

At the bottom, I even was nice and posed for a picture with mommy.  She complains that I never pose for pictures.  This time I stood still for a whole 10 seconds!

Then we were off heading up the other side!  Yes, I am becoming The Stair Master!

We headed on home, wandering by more plants and more paintings....

If you head to Chicago, let me know -- I'll be sure to take you!

Story Time!

 When Grandma and Grandpa come to visit, I get lots of stories!  My latest favorite is ROAR! Dinosaur vs. Bedtime!

Elmo, Ball and myself love to curl up and listen to Grandma read!  We think it's soooo cool!

And after, I get to play with Grandpa's beard!  Which is also cool!

Then it's off to bed.  And that is definitely NOT cool.  I don't like bed!  Which makes me wonder, how is it that ROAR! Dinosaur always loses to Bedtime?!?

Exploring...

The park is right next to the train station.  So, whenever a train is approaching, I hear the "DING! DING! DING!" of the crossing gates and immediately go running to watch it lumber on through!

Of course, once past -- I'm back to the park as fast as my little feet can carry me!

 

Once back,I can continue my exploration and playing! They have a giant clock where I can control time itself!

And strange swings that I'm not sure if I like or not...

And lots and lots of things to climb!  Climbing is VERY important.

 

Even if it does involve a bit of crawling along the way... 

...and somebody please tell me what the HECK this is!?!

There is even a Tic-Tac-Toe board to play with.  I'm not a big fan of the "X" today, so I decided to turn everything to an "O"...

So, with that in mind, I'm off!

Sand!

The other cool thing about the park?  I get to play in the sand and make a BIIIIIIIG mess!

After all, big messes are what Spencers are supposed to make!
