sawyer is three!

We totally love this little guy!

On Sunday we celebrated with Jonathan's parents in Lancaster

And today we went bowling with Nanny & Cappy. Plus dinner at McDonald's and more cake!

Our top 3 favorite things about Sawyer
*His red hair!
*His go-lucky, happy, smiley personality
*His snuggles (especially when we read together!) hugs & kisses

And a funny story...a couple of weeks ago I was supposed to have a (much needed!) girls night out but it was cancelled because of snow/icy roads. I told Jonathan to just pretend I wasn't home and sat down for some un-interrupted computer time...

Sawyer - MOMMY!
Me - Mommy's not here
Sawyer - looks me up and down "who are you?"

Happy Birthday Sawyer!!! We love you!!!

build-a-bear

Sawyer's 3rd birthday is on Tuesday, and since we aren't having a party this year, we thought it might be fun to take the boys to Build-A-Bear-Workshop.

Sawyer carefully inspected his options

Fell in love with Teddy

And had NO concept of taking the un-stuffed version from the bins instead of the display bear. Notice the empty spot on the shelf, there? We tried explaining that we weren't at buy-a-bear, but he wouldn't let go of his new furry friend. In fact, he yanked the tags right off...

Once he watched Harrison stuff his bear at the machine and decided he wanted to try, we were able to make a quick switch

After dressing and re-dressing Teddy in some fashionable options, Sawyer decided clothes were too scratchy. Since picking the outfit sounded like the most fun part to me, I went ahead and chose a fire fighter ensemble anyway.

Final verdict? Take your kids when they're six!

I'm a fan!

100 day

No, not 100 days since the last time I blogged, although it does feel like FOR-EVER. I must push through the January blahs turned February blahs...

Here is Harrison with his gallery contribution for the 100 Day celebration at school (thank you Skylar Reid for the great idea - it was a lot more fun then gluing 100 cotton balls to a piece of poster board!)

I'm hoping that the last of our snow has melted, and that the groundhog was mistaken when he saw his shadow.

So goodbye blahs! And hello Spring Fever!
