Tonight’s line up – literally. Wow – a lot of puns for one little sentence. 🙂

I thought I would take a really cool artsy photo of Thomas’ reading choices before bed tonight. I tried stacking them in a cool way to get the best light and a great angle but he kept dismantling my pile and lining them up. Not only did he line them up but they all had to be facing the right way. This was the result.

Tonight we read Harold and the Purple Crayon for about the 50th time. And the reason I know we’ve read it so often is that he read it along with me – word for word. I know he can’t read yet but his memory is amazing. Everytime I would stop reading Thomas would finish the sentence. It’s a little scary how much he manages to store in that little head.

McMenamins is a uniquely Northwest experience. Sure, the food is largely the same no matter which McMenamin’s restaurant you visit, but the burgers are good, the atmosphere is relaxed (and kid friendly) and the decor is inspiring. Just love these lights and even the website is funky. I would show more but I need to save something for the remaining 300+ photos this year. 🙂
