Christmas in July- almost

So, this is major blog catching up!  This winter we had a few good snow days.  Brooklyn took advantage of it  by practicing writing her name.  I love how she makes her letter "R"s.  
She then got the neighbor boy to write his name too.  I really wanted to go out there and put a big heart around their names, but I don't think they would have appreciated it.

Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
