1/2 Birthday

6 1/2

Yesterday was Nolan's half birthday.  We celebrated by him staying home from school...yes really!  Ok, not really.  He came down with a cold over the weekend (thanks in part to the lovely rainy weather we have been having) and really didn't feel good on Tuesday.  So, he stayed home to rest.  Good thing, he has a busy rest of the week ahead of him!  He choose green frosting as he is really into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles these days.  Funny how kids toys have a way of coming back, huh?

We celebrated by some playing in the park while Eryn was at Girl Scouts, then home to enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather.  We had a late supper, chosen by Nolan, of pancakes and sausage.  Even though he had it for lunch, he was more than happy to eat it again for supper:)  We topped it off with cake and ice cream.

So, as it's another rainy, stormy night in Spillville we are getting backpacks unpacked each night, chock full of locker items that I didn't think we'd see again (stocking hats, scarves, sweatshirts) and TONS of papers.  I'm glad they are bringing home a little each day or this mama would be a bit overwhelmed with all the "stuff". 

Stay tuned we've got some fun things planned for the last day of school on Friday!!
