Weekend fun

The kids and I had a lot of fun this past weekend.  Little Man had the day off of school this past Friday because it was records day for the teachers. My friend Michele’s older son, J, also had the day off of school, so she and her two boys came over and spent the day with us. The kids had a great time jumping on the trampoline in the basement and chasing each other around the house. After lunch they frosted and decorated cupcakes. As you can see, J is really enjoying his cupcake creation.

In case you’re wondering, those marks on Little Man’s cheek and chin are the result of a wipe out at Splash Universe, an indoor water park, the weekend before.

Here’s J2 and Little Miss Throwsafit diving into their cupcakes. LMT ate only the frosting and left the base of the cupcake. That’s the best part!

On Sunday my parents came over to watch the US versus Canada Olympic  hockey game and have dinner with us. During one of the breaks in between game periods, my dad and I went outside with Little Man and Little Miss Throwsafit and built a couple of snowmen. Mine is the one on the right.  We used Oreos for the eyes, hotdogs for their noses, and Skittles for their smiles. As you can see, my dad had better luck getting his Skittles to stay put in his snowman’s head. Oh well. Their toothless grins make them that more lovable.

Right after I finished taking pictures, my dad’s snowman fell over, leaving only the base. While mine is a bit smaller from the warmer temperatures and is leaning a bit more to the left, it’s still standing.   I guess my dad’s engineering skills didn’t serve him all that well when it came to designing snowmen. Ha!
