The spring that almost wasn't

I thought it was silly when we had snow on Easter.
I didn't really like having snow on Mother's Day.
But I never thought I would see the day when it was snowing on our anniversary.
Until today.

We still have comforters on all our beds. I turned on the fireplace today at lunch.
It's the last week of school for crying out loud!
This has got to stop.
It might be funny if it weren't so infuriating.
Let's just say that next year I won't be such a hurry to get my garden planted...

It's Great to be Eight

Guess who had a birthday...

For some reason I gave in and got him this cake. I never buy cakes. They have like a 500 percent markup. But he wanted one with flowers. For his Bakugan party, what else?

That was on the Saturday before and then went to Chuck E Cheese on his birthday {Tuesday} with his cousins. Then we ended up at Arctic Circle for dinner and I realized when we got there that I went to Arctic Circle on my 8th birthday too. Weird. I got a new coat, because my birthday is in February.
Somehow his celebrations were stretched out over the course of the week, we went to get his free scoop at Baskin Robbins on Friday and Daddy took him to Red Robin on Saturday for his free birthday meal. How did he end up so spoiled?
