Saturday Morning Adventures...

This post is actually a combination of many days of adventures for the G-Man. He is really beginning to explore and test his abilities as a toddler on a mission!  

He loves to climb on this ottoman and jump into our arms.  


Christmas is coming very soon and we are heading to TN.  We are leaving in mid-December and staying until the first of the year.   With all of this said, I decided to decorate for Christmas a little earlier than usual so that we could enjoy it longer before leaving.  After Adam brought the decorations down from the attic, Gavin decided the boxes were the perfect gym for his new found climbing abilities.  This is where I found him after "looking away for just a minute" (haven't we all said this!)


Gavin enjoying Saturday morning with his Gran-Gran.  



This particular Saturday Morning, Adam had made everyone eggs for breakfast.  Gavin always eats his earlier than us because we like our eggs over medium and G eats his scrambled.  He also skips out on the toast and eats some cream of wheat instead.  Well...he had different plans this particular morning.  Adam sat our food down at the table and I ran to the bathroom to wash my hands.  In the small amount of time the plates were not being watched, Gavin ran off with a piece of my buttered toast.  As you will see below, he throughly enjoyed himself and so did his sidekick :). 


 




  This morning, daddy worked hard in order for us to have some family time outside around a fire.  The temperatures are really beginning to drop and Adam will find any excuse to build a fire :).  These two combined and we find ourselves by the fire pit...laughing, loving, and living memories!  





I can't control these two sometimes...


Notice the nice string of slobber now on Gavin's face...nothing like a Tobiah kiss.


Going back for more...


Now the truth comes out!  Tobiah is sitting on this tiny couch with us, not to snuggle, but to reap the benefits of stray cheerios.  Either way, it makes for some great pictures!


Little man slept late this particular Saturday, which allowed the entire house to sleep late...Praise the Lord!  We decided to take a hike after waking up, feeling so refreshed.  Gavin still loves to play with leaves but he has recently turned his obsession to rocks and sticks.  Notice we were on a rocky road, so he was a little distracted.  Needless to say, we didn't walk very far while he was out of the Kelty (backpack).




Not happy about having to keep his mittens on.  They hinder his rock and stick holding.



"Look dad...these are bigger than me!"


"Anyone up for a sword fight?"



Too cute for words, seriously!
