Of course you know it was Dad's birthday on Friday. We had the day off but the boys still went to granny's house to make dad some special cupcakes. They put as many candles as would fit into the cupcake so that he could blow them out. They also made sure their cupcakes had candles in them too. Dad loved his USMC beanie you sent him. He wore it today with the snowpants that Damien got for him. The little boys and I got him (and Sam and I) tickets to go next Saturday to see the Toledo Rockets men's basketball game against Miami of Ohio. He also got a new Rockets polo shirt since he will soon be a Toledo Rocket student.
Speaking of basetball.....here is Sam and some of his team mates (2 were missing) from this season. They are standing in front of the trophy case in the high school lobby because they just got done playing during the JV half time. Their team won again, however, by the last 3 minutes of the game there were 6 players on the floor for the other team so the coach decided to just let the 6th player play on Sam's team. It was soooo funny!! They all had a great time this year.
This was the only shot of the high school half time game that turned out. Sam had just handed the ball off and I missed the action in the picture. I hate that digital cameras are so slow to shutter.
Here was today's project. Constructed mostly by dad and Jacob but enjoyed by all. Jacob decided that his name is lightening "because he is really fast" (whatever that means??). Jake is holding a tomato juice can that he was using to build the fort as you will see in the following pictures. BTW the extra kids in the picture are Parker and Stone (Angela's son).
Jake...so proud of his creation!!
The fort.
Building the fort. Gotta find something fun about two feet of snow!
