My Boy Turns Seven


Seven years - when did that happen???  My handsome little man...and his new bike.  A 20 incher!  It's a wee bit big, but in under an hour he figured out how to get on with a running start AND use the hand brakes.

Last weekend we had his party - a "monster truck" party.  The bounce house was a real treat.  Unlike Texas, where the choices are limitless, it was Sponge Bob or a castle.  Liam chose Sponge Bob. The ended up leaving it at our house for two whole days - it was great!!











One of the activities was to guess how many hot wheels cars were in the jar.  Riveting entertainment.





Next came "Pin the Plate on the Monster Truck."  Bill printed out a poster sized image of a monster truck.  We laminated personalized NYS license plates.  It was pretty cool.






 Even Finny had a go!










Grandma (in TX) sent some VERY funny stick on mustaches.  As you'll see, we've been having a lot of fun with them!






Finn doesn't quite get the mustache thing...but the uni-brow was funny.  Unfortunately, that little boy moves so fast it's nearly impossible for me to capture the actual image I want.  His mustache brow is pretty funny, though...


And onto other things...this dinosaur-esque snapping turtle made a nest and laid her eggs right in the middle of our front lawn!  Unfortunately, by the next day some predator found her nest and and all we found were open, but empty, turtle eggs.







This week we have had the pleasure of Aunt Alie visiting.  The boys are in love with her...in fact, when I picked Finn up from preschool the other day, he ran right past me and into Alie's arms!  



 Yeah...it was NOT my idea to give the TWO year old a stick for the fire.  That was Daddy.
