2nd Birthday


I now have a two year old in the house. Samuel turned 2 on the 17th of this month. We celebrated his birthday a week early because my parents were in town. Instead of making a cake for him (he has bad luck with cakes), I made his favorite sweet treat...cookies! He absolutely loves cookies, so when I brought out the big birthday cookie for him, his eyes lit up and he smiled really big. It took some coaxing to get him to blow out his candle, but he finally did it. He received lots of dinosaurs for his birthday and a tractor that plays "Old McDonald has a farm". He loves dancing to the song. It was a great birthday for him, much better than his first considering he threw up his birthday cake.

Josh had decided that we didn't have nearly enough leaves in our yard, so he went to our neighbors across the street to ask them for their leaves. (I know, most people want to get rid of leaves, not get more.) On Friday, he spent 1 1/2 hours raking and transporting leaves to our back yard. There were a lot more leaves than he thought and so the new garden area he was creating became bigger. When he was done, we took the boys outside to play in the leaves. Samuel and Darius had fun. The leaves were clear up to Samuel's waist!


I hope to try to load pictures along with my posts, if they are relevant. But I am continually uploading pictures to our Flickr account. Enjoy!
