Tapeman?

I don't know the reason why Benson does this, but at least once a day I find some part of him all taped up. The most common is his face.
He has also done his feet.



Other things he has taped up that I didn't get pictures of are his hands, his wrists, and his belly.

Some New Projects

My sons are all about projects. Everything from painting to building. When we found out that Lowes and Home Depot offered wood building workshops, we knew it was for us. Here are a few of the things we have built.


We went with cousins to build train engines.

Spencer building a periscope for his fort.
Benson also built a periscope.


Spencer made a picture frame. ( He also drew a picture to put inside it.)
Benson made a tool box to keep all his tools in

My Dad's Broken Heart.

Most of you know by now, but I am posting this for the few that may not know. My Dad found out he has an Aneurysms at the aortic root (nearer the heart). These are prone to rupture at sizes closer to 5 cm and must be treated more aggressively. His aneurysm is right next to the heart and is 5.4 cm. He will have to get open heart surgery for sure with in the next six months, but it will more likely be in the next few weeks. Right now they are doing tests to figure out what they will be dealing with when they operate.

UPDATE: He has surgery scheduled for February 4th.

A New Kind of Super Hero

Benson loves Superheros. He dresses up like them. He runs around the house acting like them. He even tries to hide and sneak up on people in his Superhero costumes, for a sneak attack.

Recently I heard him laughing in the back seat. I asked what was funny and he said. "Mom I am Peanut Butter Man" I turned around and saw that he was making a mask for himself out of peanut butter.

Jr. Jazz

Spencer did great at his first Jr Jazz game. He was nervous the first quarter but did a lot better in the 3rd.
