Buzz cut
I buzzed off Paul's beautiful, soft hair today. I hated to do it, but hopefully this will break him of his hair-pulling habit.

Gingerbread houses
We made a little gingerbread house (from the Trader Joe's kit), then went downtown to see the gingerbread masterpieces. This year's theme was Seattle in the future, and it seems lots of people imagined Seattle mostly submerged. Hmm.
Diagon Alley
The Harry Potter series came out when I was in school, and no one was a bigger fan than my advisor, the late, great Bill Glavin. A Ballard dad built some of that magic in his driveway, a life-size Diagon Alley. If you haven't seen it yet, go. It is amazing. Diagon Alley will be up through Christmas. More about the project here.
Dinosaurs!
We have a dinosaur-obsessed cousin, so I'm always looking for dinosaur-related fun. Here's a story I did for ParentMap about where to take your little paleontologists.
Andrew Wyeth at SAM
I love Andrew Wyeth's work so much I named my first-born after him (he's Joseph Wyeth Grygiel). Gorgeous retrospective at Seattle Art Museum through Jan. 15. My review is on ParentMap here.

My children love slides, and here are some thrilling ones we recently found.
