3.2 Decades Old!

For my birthday breakfast I requested waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. I think Nixon enjoyed it more than I did!

 I had a visit from this crazy bunch at work

 After a wonderful dinner the kids helped me eat open some presents

 Yummy wrapping paper!

 I didn't feel like cake this year, so I requested brownies (with mint chocolate chip ice cream of course)

I had more than enough help blowing out the candles. Thanks for the fun birthday!

 Sometimes I can't believe how grown up Lyza is looking, but then she says or does something that reminds me of her actual age ;) 

 I think the shirt says it all...

 Setting up her dinosaur city

 Nixon waspracticing pen control this week and was pretty frustrated. He is acting like an impatient perfectionist...when he isn't perfectly on the lines he gets really frustrated. Hopefully this will help teach him patience!

 Mason loved putting each piece of food from the play kitchen in his mouth

 He also rode in the shopping cart for the first time. Isn't he looking so big?

 The kids got these dinosaur feet slippers and when I got home from work I was really scared

 Lyza and Nixon worked on making a bag and a box for their valentines

 I made an extra shelf for our linen closet yesterday, which meant that I had to take out a bunch of towels and blankets that were in there. I took the opportunity to show the kids my beautiful mission quilt that my even more beautiful wife made me. That was a lot of fun!

 It was been nice and warm and we still have lots of snow, so it was a perfect time to play outside together yesterday

 Snow cave...(I think Nixon is intentionally trying to make it collapse on me)

If you ever need a lesson on pronouncing dinosaur names, look no further than Mr. Nixon

Speaking of dangerous animals

I will finish of this week's post with some morning Mason tickles, take care
