"Finally I can go back to using my hands to eat!"

Owen has decided to take on surfing as a hobby.

You want me to what?!? Go to bed?? Now that's funny!

Did somebody call for a screwdriver?


Is this thing regulation height? I know I'm as tall as the elephant foot!

The blade on Owen's lawnmower is a little dull, so Daddy has to follow behind and clean up.
