Spring is springing

The boy and I walked to school this morning and he wanted to ride his bike.  I had to  take this picture because it looked so funny in person, but in the picture, he looks like he's on his way to middle school.  I can see the grown man he'll be in this picture.

It's a good thing I have this blog, cuz the hard drive on my computer crapped out.  Luckily, the best pictures and videos are already on here.  Whew!

 

Silly walk to school in the snow

I love this little outfit.  So grown up and manly, except for the puppies allover the fleece scarf.

 

Snow day/Pi day

Watchin the end of a movie, the boy couldn't help but dance.

It being pi day (3-14) I had to make a few pies.  Not entirely from scratch, or all today, but I did bake the entire length of the movie husband and boy watched.  From the top: Boston cream (made with pancake batter doughnuts), peach with stuessel topping, pecan (left over from thanksgiving), banana cream and apple.

Before you have a heart attack at the thought of two and a half people eating that much pie, they were all mini.  A slice of each fit nicely on the fancy dessert plates.

 

Sharing Ice Cream

The Boy: (carrying a tub of mint chocolate chip and two spoons) Let's dig in.

The Husband: We're great parents.

Snow snacks

One day, it's 60 degrees.  The next, it snows like 8 inches.  We got the day off from school, so we went sledding with friends.

One of them leant the boy their snow goggles which looked adorable and boyish.

 

Chilly weekend triplets

 

Introducing the boy to a childhood favorite of mine: hot chocolate and buttered toast.  He hasn't quite mastered the technique.  He kept dunking the whole piece then shoved the whole thing in his mouth.

One of my sisters told a funny story about dressing one of her children, then realizing she'd dressed to match.  So she changed her shirt, then realized she'd dressed to match the other child.  I realized I had done the same thing, so coerced husband to dress to match us.

silly boy decided to take off his jacket the 'easy way'.

Playing around

We were playin some sort of make believe game, but I don't remember what, exactly.  The scrapper had some intrinsic value to the game.
