Happy Days

The sun is shining, the snow is melting and we have all shed a few pounds by losing our winter gear! We are all so happy to finally be wearing our spring coats. No one more so than Miles. He has the cutest leather bomber jacket and he has been told over and over again how cute he is in it. He enjoys the compliments so much that he now insists on wearing his jacket in the house. It's only with a lot of tears that we're able to remove it for him to sleep at night. We have taken to calling him, "the Fonz". Let's hope he gets over his obsession before he outgrows the jacket because it will be mighty expensive to keep him in leather for years to come!

Happy Birthday, Simon!!

Me: "Your birthday is coming soon you know"
Simon: "I'll know it's my birthday when you put my cake in front of me!"

Well the weeks of anticipation were almost too much for Simon but he finally reached the 4 milestone. We celebrated with 13 of his closest friends at our house. We expected pure chaos but it was actually quite an orderly affair. Matt had made each of the kids their own monster truck costume and they raced around and did their own smash up derby. Simon loved being the star of the show and indoctrinated everyone into his monster truck culture. He was thrilled with his giant tire cake, topped with a monster sized monster truck but the other kids were disappointed not to be able to eat the masterpiece! Miles spent the whole party stationed next to the cheesies bowl! I was pleased with how all the details turned out. Simon waited until the door closed on his last guest to indicate that, "next year I want a race car party".
