A Lego Birthday - Part Two!

With a better Lego cake and a Daddy snow ball fight! We are only doing big birthday parties every other year, so this year Ben got to invite 2 friends over for a play date with cake. I found silicon Lego block and Lego people molds on Amazon and tried to mimic a cake I saw online. It's more like 'inspired by' the picture on line, but Ben loved it! The Legos and people were made out of chocolate. And of course, the Lego candles. 

It was a really nice winter day, so the boys played outside the entire time (YES!). Ben had strict instructions that dad was 'in charge' of the party, so I got to sit inside and relax while he played outside with them. Did I mention this was like the best birthday party ever? At least for me. Adam on the other hand took a pummeling of snow balls and 6 year old boys. 

The Sandbox that Just Keeps Giving

...Just keeps giving new and creative ways to play. Like eating the snow while building a snow/sand castle. 

Officially 6 Years Old

And with that, he was officially 6 years old. I'm still not sold on the idea... He even had to do his hair for his birthday and alternate dress day at school.

A Lego Birthday - Part One

The weekend before his 6th birthday, we celebrated with the Wolny side of the family. We had a fun sleepover weekend with Eva and Elaina, birthday cake and of course presents. Ben got some great gifts, including a big hooded blanket, a checkers set, a scooter and games. He was (and still is) very excited about the checkers game and Sorry! board game. 

A Lego Bomb and Eat Your Cake, too

Ben wanted a Lego theme for his 6th birthday. Shocking! So we made a Lego cake (or two). His first cake was just bricks. I made the cake and cut it to be 3 bricks, using double stacked, double stuffed, oreos as the nubs. I even let Ben help frost, but not without anxiety. I even found Lego candles! Ben was pretty excited about his first Lego cake (and turning 6)!

A Little Bit of Snow, A Little Bit of Shoveling

Working off some post-school energy with a bit of shoveling and fresh (cold) air. Monster appreciates the shoveling, especially when the snow gets to be taller than her legs. 

The Lego Bomb

There are no words...

Think It's Genetic?

This picture of the boys reminds me of the picture of Sarah and me. Pretty much the exact same expressions except the boys added fingers to the mouth.
