Executive Decisions by Maxwell

We were just standing in the kitchen discussing what we should have for dinner. Max piped up, "How about pizza?" We said something along the lines of "Hmmm, pizza, maybe." As Andrew and I continued talking, Max pushed a kitchen stool up to the white board on the side of the fridge where we write meals for the week, grabbed the pen, asked "How do you spell pizza?" and then proceeded to write it into tonight's menu slot. The boy knows how to get things done around here!

Blizzard? Not exactly. But fun nonetheless.

Well, the blizzard they were forecasting didn't exactly show up; we got about 10 inches or so at our house instead of the 16-22 inches that were forecasted. I've never seen so many schools, businesses, travel plans, etc closed or canceled in anticipation of a storm around here, but pretty much everything was shut down around here yesterday. Andrew got stuck in Grand Junction an extra night due to his flight being canceled, but it's been such a mild winter, we really can't gripe about his travel plans being affected this once. We sooooo needed the moisture. And snow yesterday means sledding today...yippee!! We FINALLY got to bust out the tube I bought clear back in December...

Soccer, Week 2

Great morning playing soccer - Ben was not shy about tearing it up with the other 3-year-olds this week! Both boys had a lot of fun!

Day at the zoo!

We had a great day at the zoo today! I'm just enjoying the beautiful weather because I have a feeling I'll be shoveling snow in May to make up for it :).

The boys took Anty the Anteater and Hyena Shier (souvenirs from a previous zoo trip) along for the ride so they could visit their animal friends...too funny.

Soccer Season Begins!

This year, both boys are playing soccer, and the season kicked off this morning! It's hard, but good for Ben to do activities without his brother. They're getting to the point that they are separated for school, sports, etc. Ben was very clingy and pouty at first (despite happily running around with his brother's team last year), but by the end, he was coming out of his shell a little and playing with his own team...hopefully as the season progresses, he'll keep finding his place with the other three year olds. Max's coaches were gone today due to a previously scheduled trip, so Andrew pinch-coached.

The Honeybees: The Blue Thunder:On a different note, last night we watched Horton Hears a Who together...highly recommended!!! Cute, nicely done, entertaining!
