Chopsticks!

Once in a while, a yummy order of Chinese takeout hits the spot. And when Will and I get Chinese, we always use chopsticks. It's just more fun. Johnny, of course, wants to eat the same way we do... so he would take his chopsticks and skewer his food with it (and that can be hard when you are trying to skewer a noodle or a grain of rice). Well, one quick Amazon search and $6.49 later, and problem solved! Johnny is now the proud owner of his own chopsticks. He did great! I have to say (even though I'm a bit biased as his proud mommy) that I am impressed at the sight of my 4-year-old using chopsticks to eat lo mein.

Lining up his chopsticks.

Mmmm....

That's yummy!

Proud New (Library) Cardholder

Although I posted the above picture on my "One Frame A Day" blog, I wanted to add a few more pictures from today. Johnny got his very own library card! He is so excited!

Check it out!!!

Scanning his card for the first time to check out his books and movies.

Puzzle Fun

What do you do when it's cold and blustery outside? Break out some games and puzzles, of course. Johnny and I completed his new Cars puzzle together, and he was quite proud!

Snow Bunnies

It snowed last night- not much...but enough to blanket everything in about two inches of fluffy snow. Needless to say, Johnny was thrilled when he looked out the window this morning, so ventured outside for a bit. Johnny played with Liam and Ben, and Sophia "chilled" in her stroller. (Don't worry, she was bundled in layers.)

Little lady, squinting a big. It was bright!

My little dinosaur.

Hanging out.


Here comes the snow plow!

A Case of the Giggles


Sophie gets a kick out of Johnny. As Maw and I discovered last week, she thinks it's hilarious when he jumps!

John's 4th Birthday


I love this picture of my boy. The look of wonder on his face.
He LOVED his cake! Johnny is loving anything to do with construction
vehicles right now, so a construction cake was perfect for him.

Here it is- our fondant masterpiece!
Michelle, Will, and I worked until after midnight to finish it. I think we did pretty good.

And here it is with the two cakes connected. =)

Game time!

My goofy boy.

Blowing out his candles-
there were of course 4 of them and they looked like construction vehicles.

Johnny & Mommy.

Getting his birthday boy medal.

Our best attempt at a family picture.

Will and I.

Johnny in the Ticket Blaster!

Here we go!

Catch 'em!

They're everywhere!

Enjoying his cake. ;)
