This year Teague has been my child adamant about wearing summer clothes well into winter temperatures. Many days (like today), he still pulls out a t-shirt and shorts.

Happy Halloween!

This book has been read 568 times, but he loves it and will read it many more times.
Sneaky nap struck again.
This is the only picture Teague appeared in throughout the entire party.

Teague earned some extra chores this week and today he was cleaning the edge of the house for us.
Everyone loves bananas in this house.
Teague was extremely helpful all afternoon. (I think he was bored.) I appreciated all the help.
