Frosty Dreams

Every time the meteorologist predicts any snow around here, Jack tells me that he has always wanted to build a snowman. On the other hand, every time the meteorologist predicts snow, Luke grabs a heavy blanket, curls up on the couch, and asks to watch Twenty Trucks on the TV. Oh wait, he does that every day. This afternoon, we made Jack's dream come true. We named him Frosty, of course.

Jack's 5th Birthday Party

Today is Jack's birthday, but we had his party on Saturday. All of his friends from preschool, Grandpa and Grandma, and our friends from down the street came to help him celebrate turning 5.

Grandma made Jack the rainbow cake he requested. It was delicious. 

Grandpa built a burning building, and the kids extinguished the fire.

L-R: Chase, Emily, Kendall, Max, Leah, Jack, Edward, Luke

Missing: Colton, Harper, Mairin, Thomas, and Edward's little brother

Jack anticipated and enjoyed this party more than any other he has ever had. I guess that's part of growing up. 

Snow Days!

We got a couple of inches of snow last week that led to two snow days for Jack's preschool. The boys enjoyed their first time playing in snow in two years. They had snowball fights, made snow angels, and used trucks to clear the "roads" in the backyard. The meteorologists are predicting that we are going to get up to 6 inches of snow on Wednesday. Maybe there is a little more snow play in our near future.
