Liam, "mowing the crap out of a puddle"

Liam was pretty good about not getting soaked in the puddles on the way home from school (or soaking me) so I let him change into his rubber boots and head out again once we got home. He wanted to ride his bike or big wheel but I said no. I agreed he could take the lawnmower.

Jasper Singing MSU

I had been trying to capture Jasper on video singing the MSU fight song for days and finally got most of it while he was pulling apart the couch...

After that, he realized he can really get Mommy's attention quickly by singing it and now frequently uses it to protest bedtime (in an angry voice) or simply if he doesn't think I'm listening to him.

Liam, being silly

Jasper was a little slower than Liam getting all his snow stuff on and decided he wanted to watch "Yam" out the window. Sure enough, he was quite entertaining, especially when he noticed the camera. Is this really my kid?

Jasper Mountain Climbing

With exaggerated effort and grunting sounds, Jasper climbed up this hill of snow (it WAS taller than him) and yelled "I'M ALMOST TOUCHING THE CLOUDS!!"

Cupcakes

Liam is decorating cupcakes to take to school for his 5 1/2 birthday (since his birthday is in the summer). Notice the dimple and the tongue!

Snowman

Finally, we had the right kind of snow to build a snowman in the front yard.
