I know I didn't take these pictures...

Lego Food Battle
This is Aaron's dinner waiting for him when he gets home from work. The boys mixed the food all together and added the lego men and flags.

Hey what do those sirens mean?

For two weeks in a row the tornado sirens have sounded. The first week we didn't worry too much until the pizza delivery man asked me if we had heard the sirens. "Yes," I replied, "what does that mean exactly? Does it mean to be careful and keep an eye out for tornadoes?" "No," replied the pizza man, "it means to get in your basement because a tornado has been spotted." Oops! I forgot to ask the pizza guy why he was out delivering pizzas during a siren. Before we had moved from Denver last year, we had been less than 2 miles away from a tornado while we were at church. They had tornado sirens there but I don't remember hearing them during the tornado. I heard them at other random times. Maybe I was too nervous to hear them.

How to survive a tornado siren....the Grimm way.

Gather your loved ones to the basement. Make sure you have your blankies. If you are like Connor, make sure you have a nerf gun in hand, just in case. *Note to self: we probably shouldn't sit by the windows next time. But, really who wants to sit in a storage room on a treadmill?

Follow the tornado on the news.

Make sure you have food to sustain life.

And that's how you live through a tornado siren...the Grimm way!

Chips Anyone?

Looks like he's trading chips for hamburgers again.

Nocturnal Habits of Twins

These two boys are twins

We recently went on a trip to Nauvoo, Illinois. Bedtime came and "two boys", as we call them, were at odds with the sleeping arrangements. Up until recently, these boys have been sharing a twin sized bed off and on for the past 12 years (even though they each have their own). But for some reason, boy B was not about to share a queen sized bed with boy A.

This is Twin A in bed. He piled the pillows on himself to keep from getting freaked out even though he was sharing the same room as his parents. Yes, there really is a boy under the pillows.

This is Twin B at bedtime. When you choose not to sleep with your brother, you get to have the cushions off of two chairs and use the table runner on the end of the bed for a blanket.

This is Twin B the next morning. It looks like his table runners came off sometime during the night so he put his feet in the pillow to keep warm.

The Temptation

Temptation lives in my home.

Our church had a basketball tournament this past weekend. Connor and his team, Team Agility, made shirts for themselves. He was The Temptation. His teammates include The Prototype, The Conflict and The Flirt. They are a funny bunch of boys. Did you notice their fashionable sweatbands? Of course, they had them pulled down over their ears. Who wouldn't?

The Temptation has been working out on the treadmill and lifting weights. He wants to "own Dallin" when he gets home from his mission. Watch out Dallin, Temptation may be staring you in the eye when you get home, six pack and all.

Elder Grimm sent pictures

Finally, pictures from Dallin

Elder Oseen and Dallin - so I guess when you are with someone all the time you start wearing the same ties.

This is a sign on an apartment door. It says "Mormons stop" and they spelled mormon wrong in Finnish as well.
