Some Pics

Last weekend we finally went letterboxing again. We've taken a long hiatus from it. I can't disclose the location of the one we found, but it was at an old section of the Erie canal. It was fun to poke around there that day. We ended it with a trip to Jumpin' Jacks---mmmm. I had vanilla and cherry swirl in the back of the car with Chester--I was cold! I think the picture of the boys eating their ice cream is funny. Thomas looks like he's about to give Chris the finger and Nolan looks like he's in love and about to kiss his ice cream cone.

Tomorrow Thomas turns 6. I really can't believe he is going to be 6, especially when he's barely 3 feet tall! He was the mayor of his school today, passing out his birthday cupcakes. Tomorrow we are having Gaba over for dinner. Thomas has requested Cookie Crisp for breakfast and chicken noodle soup for dinner. Since it's Good Friday, we're going to have chicken noodle soup without the chicken! I told Thomas he can play video games for as long as he wants in the afternoon, after we go to church. Maybe that's a little sacreligious. But he is very excited about the prospect. I think what he wants more than anything on his birthday is to do whatever he wants!

Saturday we will be brave and go to Chuck E. Cheese for his small kid party. Nolan has a baseball tryout afterwards. He's decided to try out for a spring travel team after all. If he makes the team, he'll be on 2 different baseball teams. The one team he is on doesn't have any of his friends on the team, so I think that's why he'd like to try spring travel. We just got his schedule and we're awaiting Thomas'. I'm glad religion classes and after school programs are over to make room for all this baseball.

Hoppy Easter to everyone!
