SEVEN

OH to be seven again!! My little boy has grown in his missing front teeth this year and has decided he wants to go by the name Bryden. No more Bozer, or bubbie, just Bryden. It is so fun to see him get so excited about what life has to offer yet he can still snuggle in with mom and dad every once in a while. This year the big theme for him is Star Wars. Thanks to a friend finding this on clearance Bryden at last received the long awaited Millennium Falcon. His weekend fell on one of the craziest weekends of the year. In two days we had 5 basketball games (daddy won bragging rights in his alumni tourney), March Madness and the welcomed first day of spring. In the middle of it all we took a little time for a Chuck E Cheese Party.

Bryden is still wearing the Birthday Medal!!

Of course we had to go with the Star Wars cake (again) this year.

We ended the fun weekend with a little homemade Strawberry Shortcake for the boy and the family on Sunday night. Next? Hayden turns 4!!!!

The Late Winter Funk

I never really keep track but it seems like about this time each year we all kind of seem to hit a wall. Its late winter. There is snow on the ground and we are setting every record in the book with our high of 11 degrees today. Its cold and I am done!!! Along with the weather we have 52 things going on at once, the kids are getting tired of school and homework and the same old meals just don't taste good anymore. The news is depressing as is the newspaper as well. Our routine seems so mundane and if I have to pick the Candyland game up off the playroom floor one more time I am going to scream. I am done!! Did I already say that????

Although it is very cold outside the sun is out today so I had an impromptu coffee this morning to see some of the faces I only pass in the car leaving the school. We all had some catching up to do. Plans for spring, trips coming up, soccer season teams and even a little coupon insider sharing. It was what I think everyone needed as we all sit tight and wait for spring to sweep into the valley and make it all better!! Thanks girls!!!
