Who Needs Toys?

Chapter 55


Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just playing all kinds of fun games in the house.

It’s been raining for a few days here. Grampy says it’s cold and snowy at his house, which I think is weird because I thought THIS was his house. He’s always here. He has his own room, his favorite chair to watch TV and his favorite coffee mug. What else could he need?

Before I talk about all the rain I have to tell you that my daddy had his birthday last week.

That cake was yummy. I don’t know how old he is but, yes, daddy is old but not wicked old like Grampy.


🎼It’s raining again!

So yeah, it’s been raining here for like months, although I’m not sure what a month is. My mommy has been coming up with all kinds of stuff for me and Grampy to do.

I made a big fort with my blocks.

I made soup one night.


The next morning Grampy and I had our bananas.

Grampy makes a game out of everything.

Who needs toys?

Of course, I don’t always need toys to have fun.


It took Grampy forever to clean up!

But wait! There’s more!


Mommy came up with a fun game this weekend.


That was so much fun. And then Sunday we had even more fun!

I was tired after running that a few times.


Our usual fun

We did have some of our usual fun. First there was Fluffernutter Friday.

And this week we had Chik Fil A.

I like waffle fries!

It was a very busy week and sometimes, after a week like this, you just like a good soak while you brush your teeth.

Grampy says I’m not doing it right.

    I was feeling sleep deprived and just lousy but, you, Liam and Sarah made me forget it all. I have to say I replayed the videos 3 times and I laughed away. It is raining again here, too. I’m waiting for the thunder and lightening to pass threw. They promised and I’m going to wait for it or maybe I will just take a name. I already put the wood stove on so, I’m ready to go. Love the column and that final picture of him brushing his teeth is so cute. He looks so proud. Have fun my friend and I have to say I miss hearing your voice in the morning.
