Five

Ryan turns five years old today! He's been looking forward to his birthday for a long time. We've been celebrating since Saturday. I thought about doing a party at a "place" of some kind this year but he decided he wanted to do it at home and the theme was Super Heroes. It was a lot of fun and I hope all of the kids enjoyed it as much as Ryan (and Evan) did. Ryan getting ready for his friends to come.

When the guests first arrived, we had them decorate party hats with Super Hero stickers.
Then we put on Spider-Man tattoos.

Just like British Bulldog except you do good guys vs. bad guys.

Almost found it.
Still searching.

Treasure is found!
Little party bags with a maraca, a noise maker, a fruit snack, and a kaleidoscope.
Pinata time! Ryan.

The kids were pretty hot from all of the games outside so we decided to do presents before I made them eat their cake outside. Everyone gave him awesome presents which he absolutely loves, and Evan has loved sharing them too.

We decided to let him open the rest of his presents on Sunday evening since Daddy won't be home until bedtime on Monday (his actual birthday).
He's been begging me for a pair of Sketchers Z straps all due to Cartoon Network's clever brainwashing advertising.
He also really wanted a Sheriff Woody due to all of the Toy Story 3 Mania happening this summer. We still haven't seen the movie. Perhaps this week.
Ryan, for reasons unbeknown to me has been dying for a pair of pernokulars. He ended up with two pair!
The famous shoes.

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.  ...
