Birthday Boy

Evan's birthday was very low-key but really nice. His Birthday was on Sunday this year and he had a pretty nasty cough so we decided to stay home from church. Skipping was nice because our weekends are pretty hectic, it was nice to have more time at home for relaxing, and for doing things like blogging! Anyway, I digress. Evan woke us up in the morning and not too long after found his presents and was ready to open them. Never mind his outfit, his choice!






Mommy bought him a Mr. Potato Head
I also bought him some new shoes and a pair of shorts and a new shirt. Guess we'll have to wait a few weeks (or more) on the shorts.
Nana sent him some super cute summer clothes and a really fun and really adorable dinosaur memory game.

My Two Year Old!
When we were singing to him he sort of liked all of the attention.
But he really enjoyed his cake!



Later we went to Grandma's house to be spoiled even more!
He got a bunch of clothes from Grandma, and Great Grandma.
Aunt Jess & Uncle Cole got him this ball and an 8 pack of play dough. He loves them both!
Grandpa bought him a little transforming Tonka truck that he adores!
Then we had more cake!
Happy Birthday Evan!

So how does Even do with Mr. Potato Head? I've been thinking about getting one for Eli but I'm a little scared for the safety of the potato head

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
