Robot Party...

day before run through.

the take home treats candy bar.

i made a table cloth with 3 robots and the #3 it said, happy birthday to beckam.

the supplies for the robot making.

the robotish brownies.

i told sam we needed to build some robots to use as decor.

he out did the rest of us with this one.

pretty dang cool.

we had pizza and capri suns for lunch.

beckam and avery.

lauren, isaac, kai , and lydia.

beckam got tons of fun presents, thank you everyone!!

the kids lined up on the ottoman to watch and then they would take turns taking their presents to beckam and helping him open them.

truman's first...

ornament that is. we have carried on this tradition still practiced in the hudson home. the boys each get a new hallmark ornament every year. this was truman's first. we like to pick a theme for each of the boys to stick with. isaac is airplanes and this year he added a cool new blue and white one. Beckam's is heavy outdoor equipment. he added a riding lawn mower (sweet!, i always wanted the easter bunny to bring me one but he still hasn't. maybe one of these years.) truman got trains. the tree is getting pretty full and hopefully we can keep these ornament mostly in one piece over the years to come. till next year.

one wintery day...

i made a snowman very round and tall the next day when i say him he was not the same at all. his hat had slipped his arms drooped down he really looked a fright. it made me start to wonder what do snowman do at night. i think that snowman start to slide when it gets real dark of the lawn and down the street right into the park....so if your snowman's grim is crooked or he's lost a little height you know that he's just been doing what snowman do at night. so i was too lazy to type the whole this especially since i'm doing it from a very rusty memory and again i'm too lazy to go get the book. (i was awake until 3 :45am last night, so give me a break.

i absolutely love that book (thanks aunt nancy).

the second we started making a snowman all the boys could do was ask repeatedly when they could knock it down. we made them wait until the next morning. we even got "other isaac" to come help.

last shots with our snowman.

i think the proved to be much tougher than isaac initially thought.

rock hammers and very large saws, what could be better??

the boys spent the rest of the morning playing with the snow in the street. that is until it melted at least.

sam found this in the backyard on the trampoline. we thought it was pretty cool.

BYE MR. SNOWMAN, THANKS FOR COMING TO VISIT US IN THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS!!!
