Blizzard Week Pics

These are pics taken the week of the blizzard so they range across the board!

The day after the blizzard, we stayed inside so we got a little creative and made Baker a Valentines box to put his Valentines in.  He had so much fun making this!

So proud of his creation.

Brad was so sick over the weekend and was in bed for about two straight days.  Baker couldn't stand not seeing much of him so he made him lots of pictures to hang up around him.  He said they would make him feel better. How sweet is that?

While Brad stayed home sick, Baker and ventured out into the cold, avoiding snow pile after snow pile, and drove uptown to his friend Dylan's birthday party.  This was the nicest McD's playground I've ever seen, more like the kind in malls and it sure seemed much less germy! He had so much fun!

Sweet Dylan as everyone, including the McD's puppets sing to him.  This was our first time going to a McD's birthday party and it was really fun!  To my surprise, Baker wore his hat most of the time!

Check out Baker's drawing of a spider.  Isn't it great?  He never ceases to amaze me with the things he has started drawing lately.  Our little artist!

I woke up one morning and when I rolled over, Bleeker (who moved just as I was taking the picture) was laying on his side, back to me just like Brad, totally tucked under the covers.  This dog is a spoiled mess!
