the b-day fiesta continues

There were lots of decorations and train themed goodies.  Will really liked the train logo garland Mama made him.  There were train crossing signs and lots of ribbons decorating the ceiling fan above the cupcake tower.  Friends got to take home a goodie bag containing fun homemade train things: a chocolate train shaped lollipop; a little box of "tickets" good for things like hugs and kisses, a snack, a snuggle, etc. to use at home with their families; and a necklace showing " i heart trains".  It was a lot of work but it was totally worth it.

getting ready for the big bday party

The theme was trains and chocolate--what more could a boy ask for??  How about chocolate monogrammed cupcakes?  Thank God for candy making chocolate.  Yummmmmmmmm

The train fascination continues

So Innocent Yet So Shrewd

Will's language abilities and cognitive abilities are catching up to his cunningness, as evidenced by the following conversation.

When I went in to wake up Will this morning, the first words out of his mouth were

"We need to have a play date at Keira's house."  

Mom:Did Keira invite you over?

Will: Not yet, but they have Cheese Nips at their house.

Mom: Maybe we could invite her over here.

Will: that won't work Mommy

Mom: Why not?

Will: because the Cheese Nips are at Keira's house.

Mom: do you really want to play with Keira?

Will: . . . . I want to eat Cheese Nips.

PS: Despite the fact that it is now April, Will wants MORE snow, so he can go sledding.
