Wow, I am so behind on posts!
Simon turned 7 in August!
Seven seems so big to me!
Simon is full of creativity, questions, introspections, interesting point of views, hilarious comments, and energy!
(speaking of energy, his eye was almost swollen shut the week of his birthday from a literal run-in he had with a corner
Here is Simon putting together a Lego set that his grandparents in Georgia sent him.
Simon is officially Lego-Crazy!
And I am always on the lookout for a good deal on Legos!
We scored a great one on Black Friday, but that is skipping ahead three months :)
Simon's first toy-love, though is Army Men.
All kinds - the cheap ones at Dollar Tree, though I despise those!
They are always breaking apart, and it looks like we have an army of zombies.
And we have enough zombie talk in our house without those ...
My favorite Army Men that we have are his Toy Story Men. We purchased them at Target in a cute white tub and they are very stable, have interesting poses, remind me of Toy Story, and most importantly, they do not become zombies after a few minutes of play!
For Simon's Birthday, we bought him a WWII set of Army Men. There are four armies with four different colors of soldiers. Each army has a flag, and Simon really enjoys this set.
Pretty much any toy of Simon's becomes an 'army man' of sorts.
He can play for hours with Lincoln Logs and Blocks, but his is mostly using them to represent men, tanks, castles, snipers, fortresses, etc.
Here two armies are about to collide at the "Battle of the Oatmeal Bowl"
Evie at swimming lessons in August.
Whew, remind me NEVER to sign up for outside lessons in August again!

It was starting to feel like "Conversations withOUT Amy"! Miss you. I was REALLY hoping we'd see you at Heather's wedding in Sept. Hope to catch up soon! <3
Sinclair and Simon have the same birthday! Maybe we should do a big party one year :O)
those army men look like a lot of fun!
PS
We still need to get together :O)
