The snow this year just doesn't quit. I am not complaining though (other than getting sick of wearing boots everyday).
Meme came to town and we built snowmen and had snowball fights.
Then we met up with "the cousins" at Chuck E. Cheese. We are on Chuck's email list because they give freebies every now and then, like 20 free tokens for your half birthday. The half birthday thing cracks me up though, because my kids are exactly 2 and a half years apart, so to really do up the 1/2 thing would be stealing thunder from the real birthday! Regardless of that little tidbit, we used up all 40 tokens along with cashing in the winning tickets for some measly prizes. What more could a kid ask for?
In other birthday freebie news, SJ's birthday package from Totter's Otterville came with an extra ticket for the birthday child, so we used that yesterday and they played hard!
SJ spent a lot of time dancing in the ballet studio, but she also set up this whole gourmet meal for her baby.
And Z made a new friend.
Here they are in the Otterville grocery store dressed up as mailmen adorned with batman face paint. The other little boy looked like a batman mask and Z had the bat signal on one cheek and Superman logo on the other. When the boy saw Z he shouted "MINE is even MORE COOLER than yours!" I cringed and held my breath to see how Z would respond to this typical boy competitiveness. He just smiled and said "Mine is Batman Superman" and he was so kind about it. I exhaled and they ran off to the ball pit.
I am still hoping to fit in a trip to the children's museum, and of course Easter is on Sunday, then it will be back to the grind stone. Have you seen any signs of Spring yet?

It sounds like a great Spring Break, even though it's colder than you're used to! We've had a bit of a cold snap here, as we typically do just before Easter. There was only a day or two that it didn't warm up, though. We've had days that started in the thirties & ended in the seventies! I know you saw the picture, but we have quite a few things blooming in the back yard. I planted some flowers in the front yard yesterday, so I'm excited to see how they grow & hoping they fill in nicely ('cuz I started small/less expensive)!
