Blizzard 09

The boys 2nd birthday was March 27th. If anyone lives around us, you know that we got a lovely winter storm/ blizzard that day. We had to postpone the boys' party until the next weekend, but we had fun just the four of us anyways! The day before, we got Garrett sand for his sandbox. That was his gift from us. That boy loves to get dirty!!

He loved being in the back of the truck with the sand! Turner hates getting dirty, but thought he could help dad with the wheelbarrow.

Garrett enjoying his new sandbox!

The next day, their birthday, school was cancelled due to several inches of sleet and freezing rain. The boys and I stayed in our jammies all day! When Craig got home from work, we let them open another present- guitars! These boys love making music!! Especially playing guitars!




After their nap, they got to help me frost their cake. That really means they got to eat a bunch of frosting!!

Can you tell which one likes to get dirty and which one doesn't??

After supper we let them open the presents they were supposed to get at their party. We couldn't wait for them to wait another week!! I think Craig and I get more excited than the boys! We just love to see them excited!!

Turner, the sports fan, got a basketball goal.Garrett got some new sand toys to represent his new sandbox.

I guess Turner got tired of pulling Garrett in the wagon his sand toys came in- he had to lay down and take a rest!

Then it was time for cake and ice cream! The cake is supposed to be in the shape of a car. I didn't have much to work with, since I had not been planning to make a cake.



They loved being sung Happy Birthday to and blowing out the candles! And they also enjoyed eating cake and ice cream!

Friday night we got 24 inches of snow! What fun! We took the boys out after it had melted a little and warmed up nicely. Turner cried almost the whole time. He hated it and didn't want to touch it.

Craig helping them build a snow hill. It was supposed to be a snowman, but never really made it!

They had a great birthday weekend, even if all of our plans had to be cancelled!! I can't believe they are already 2!
