Snow in OCTOBER, boo

So umm it snowed in October....  Thank goodness grammy send us some snow coats early enough to put them to use!

And from of my iPhone:

I realized that I am too big for my coats, hmmm I have never been this pregnant in the winter before :)

We have some cute little friends!  The first is Mason and his pre-k buddies :)

And here is sweet baby Ella who I babysit sometimes and cute squishy baby Peter :)  Yay for babies!

Into the woods

We love exploring the forest in our back yard.  It is especially nice that the kids are a little older and can watch where they are walking so they don't trip as much (well AS much, it still happens!)  We found all sorts of fun leaves and treasures to bring back to the house :)  We had lots of fun until Mason fell down and got a whole bunch of burrs stuck to his sweater, he wasn't a happy camper after that, haha.  Anyway, I love when I get cute pictures of these two together, yay they really do love each other!

Dinosaur Birthday Party :)

Mason was so excited this year to have a birthday party, 4 years old is the greatest! He really wanted a dinosaur party which turned out to be great fun.  My bestie friend here in NY made this amazing cake for him.  It was a red velvet cake so it looked all bloody when we cut it up but the kids didn't get it haha.

Have you ever read the book Dinosaurumpus? It is one of my favorite kids books for little boys.  It reads like a rap and song which if fun for the kids to jump around.

We invited way to many kids... I just don't know how to say no to Mason :)  But he loves all his girly and guy friends!

Mason really really really wanted to have a pinata but I wasn't about to spend a bazillion dollars finding a dinosaur one so we found a "monster dinosaur" at target :)  It was funny watching the difference between the girls and boys swinging at the green glob, haha!

Picking up the candy and treats from the pinata

Opening presents was so cute.  Each kid brought up the present, some even helped him open it :)  He was gracious and kind and made sure he said thank you and gave everyone a hug afterward.

Then of course the best part :) 

Later he opened his presents from the grandparents... I like how he put it on the ground so he could open it :)

Danny drew pictures on all the balloons, these are a couple of my favorites.  He is so talented :)

Also I didn't get many pictures of it but we had a "dinosaur egg hunt" each kid got to find 7 eggs with different toys and knick knacks inside.  Danny was in charge of taking the kids to the basement in between activities so I could get is set up.  He is so much fun and told them about a dinosaur living in the basement, the rest of the night they kept going down there to find it.  What would I do with out Danny, he makes everything so much more fun!  It was a crazy successful party, thanks for everyone who came and made it so fun and special!
