Sunday was a lovely afternoon which I spend outside on the driveway.
Jake stood guard on the table while I broke down pallets and burned a lot of rotten wood and sticks piling up by the compost. It was a nice afternoon but a lot of bending and hard work with the pallets.
After that was done, it was a lot of work making soup for supper. That Baylor did not like anyway.
Oh look, it is a train on our way in to COF this morning. Lucky us.
My sleepy dogs at bed time.
We finally had snow! And while it was not too much it was a horrible one to drive on. Baylor was stuck at Kartikey's for the night. I had to take Gloria to a Dr appointment so we dropped Baylor off there in the morning on our way. School was cancelled for the day even though it did not start snowing until after 9. By the time we left the appointment and headed to CVS for the prescription, the roads were already treacherous. I asked if I could pick up Baylor later in the evening when the roads should be cleared up and Greeva was fine with that. I worked from home the rest of the day and Gloria worked on getting well.
The dogs enjoyed the snow as well. At least it was not raining and muddy.
By evening the roads were worse and even Main Street was backed up. People were stuck on 83 for several hours.
We decided it would be best to not get Baylor and just have his spend the night there. I planned to pick up the boys and take them to school in the morning.
The morning was beautiful and the kids had a two hour delay!! I was off of work because it was also Baylor's 10th birthday.
While I was working from home yesterday I was also working on a little pallet sign! I love when I can multi-task. I wish I made the words larger but other than that, I am quite happy with it.
I picked up the kids for school, which was a half a day and now a two hour delay and half an hour of the day was lunch. I had planned to join Baylor for lunch for his birthday so I dropped them off and then parked the car to go inside for lunch.
When school was over, I picked up both boys and we headed to Hoss's to surprise Baylor with a second lunch there with his grandparents. He was surprised to see them there!
We went home and they played in what was left of the snow.
Ten years ago at this moment, this little man came into my life and changed it forever. I am so happy he is my son and while not everyday has been sunshine and lollipops, parenting is hard sometimes, we have a great bond and love for each other. He is a bit crazy, a bit sensitive, and almost always an all around good kid. I don't know what the next few years will bring as he grows into his teens and young adult years but right now I am just enjoying this time!
He requested Angel Food cake for his birthday cake. He does love it.
Here is his first birthday cake. He has changed a bit!
Saturday morning the boys tried out Baylor's pogo stick Gloria got him. They were really not sure what to do and played it pretty safe by only bouncing once and jumping off.
Melting snow and warm sunshine mean more mud!!! The grass cannot keep up with the mud and the dog feet.
Jake loves to be up high on something so he can patrol outside the fence better.
Saturday afternoon we had Baylor's Birthday party at Play and Trade. The kids all got to play game together or in small groups for over an hour and I think they had a good time. Baylor asked for donations for the animal shelters or donations to his X-Box games fund. He received both.
Dance party!
Another Angel Food Cake, it is his favorite.
In the evening I watched a Harry Potter movie and worked on another pallet sign I had seen at a studio too far away to attend the class. I think it turned out pretty good just eyeballing it.
