A puzzle Nico completed on Friday. I heard him and Papa played a ton of games after school on Friday!
From their house, Guy and Nico went straight to the airport, where they surprised Grandpa and Grandma Russell as they were flying in from Seattle! They came to Boise this past weekend to surprise GG at her 90th birthday party, which was Saturday night.
Before the party, Grandma and Grandpa took Nico to their hotel to take a swim in the pool. Yay! We met them at Jaker's that night, where GG stopped in at 6 PM and was surprised by everyone there.
Nico chose the kid's steak. Oh my goodness does this boy love meat! The kid's steak comes cut into strips. It was so handy, and he ate it all up.
Happy Birthday GG! They had a beautiful cake for her.
Sunday before church, I was resting on the bed after telling Nico to do his chores. He took the trash out and then, on his own, without asking, he started fixing the front doorknob. We discovered Saturday night that it was low on batteries. So he got his toolbox out, and screwdriver, and took the handle off. He discovered it needed a 9V battery, which we didn't have, and this is when I found out what he was doing, because he asked me where the 9V batteries were. We walked over to M&W Market to buy a 9V battery and came back. He had a hard time reattaching the screws. Even with me helping him we couldn't do it, but we soon figured out the problem and reattached the screws. I told him I was so proud of him for seeing something that needed to be done, and doing it without being asked.
After church the boys were able to hang out with the Grandparents Russell for a little bit while I visited my Aunt Liz. They brought over a new brand of Lime Soda Water we had never tried before. It is very good! It is not sweetened and contains no juice, but to me it tastes like lime cotton candy. Crazy! Waterloo brand. They left Sunday afternoon to fly back to Seattle. It was a quick visit but so fun to see them. I am sorry I didn't get more pictures! Can't wait to see them again in a few months for Christmas!
Monday night we did a bit of an assembly line to package up the huge Red Velvet Ribbons we got shipped to us. We needed to put each into a bag, seal it, and then put a label on it, and place it back into the box. There was 60 total. I let Nico do 8 of them Monday night. He was so super careful with each one and did a great job. We would have used our table instead of the floor, but there is currently a puzzle on it! Someday we will own a table just for puzzles, whaddya say?? ;)
There's a short clip at the end of the blog with Nico putting one of the huge ribbons in a bag. You can watch him be super gentle.
6 of the 8 boxes we shipped out Tuesday morning
Tuesday Nico and I had doctor's appointments. I picked him up early from school. After the appointments I took him to a new food and smoothie place I had never been to before - Fresh Deli? Hmm.. Can't even remember the name. It is downtown next to the Edwards Theater. I bought him a Chunky Monkey smoothie, and myself a juice. I asked if they made any of their wraps or paninis gluten free and they said yes. Oh my! Nico picked out the Turkey Bacon Avocado wrap, and I chose a Turkey Pesto Panini for Guy. I can't believe they had gluten free wraps!! I was very impressed. Nico super duper loved it.
I can't believe I didn't snap pictures of all that! I had a really fun time with Nico that afternoon.
Nico checked out a Geronimo Stilton book at the school library last week. He read it and returned it today, and picked up a new one!
Speaking of books, the Grandparents Russell brought Nico the next installment of Dogman!! He has already flown through it.

He has chosen the book he is going to do his book report on next January. Stick Cat: Tail of Two Kitties. He got it approved by his teacher. He has chosen to create a crossword puzzle for his report.
Ok on to the video! See you next week!
