Let it Go!

Shortly after Christmas, we discovered that Gus had been paying closer attention than we realized to "Frozen."  He shocked us with his knowledge of the lyrics…to pretty much the whole song.  It began with this Karaoke version (sorry for all the background noise):



Since this night, he no longer needs the youtube sing-a-long, he just belts out the words on his own.  He falls asleep singing "Let it Go," he wakes up singing it, and he has now wowed us with various concerts at home, as well as out in public (i.e. grocery store, Costco, etc).  He even shared his expanded repertoire, which includes pretty much the whole "Frozen" soundtrack.  Even I don't know the words to the opening song, but he does!  Of course I botched my one shot at a more pure video and recorded the whole thing in slow motion, so we're stuck with just the video above, with all it's background noise and glory.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  :)

Row, row, row your boat

You can't see the full size barge on the river very well, but Gus was excited to compare his Brio Train boat with the ones cruising the river one afternoon!

Zoomed in on the same pic to show the barge…

Happy New Year!

We were so exhausted from Christmas, that our New Year's Eve was very calm and chill this year.  It was just right.  Somewhere in that first week of the new year, we woke up to find out we had been swallowed by the big, gray, fog.  Even took the river away and all the new houses just built below us!

 
The sun managed to make it's way back out, inspiring the boys to go for a little adventure with their new backyard explorer tools...

We're big fans of the new path that was built behind our house (that's us just right of center in with the shed in the backyard)
