SNOW DAY! Sunday it snowed ten inches! It was sort of Jaxon’s first real snow day. All the other snowy days were crap. He and Daddy made a their first snowman together. I was staying warm inside with Case, taking photos of the sweet moment. It was so great to watch. Jax loved putting all the snowman parts on. ‘Mom we need a hat!’ ‘Mom we need a mouth!’ He turned out awesome. Best. Snowman. Ever.
Calling all little SUPERHEROS! We celebrated Jaxon’s third birthday on Saturday at our home with immediate family. Our graffiti wall in the basement made the perfect backdrop. Aside from being totally exhausted from all the party prep, it was so. much. fun! All worth it…even the hand-stamped table cloths. I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos.
Of course you can’t have a superhero party without capes, masks and power cuffs…duh. My mom and I made all the little guests their very own made out of felt to wear during the party and to take home as their party favor. Jax loves his. He is still wearing it. And Case is just the cutest in his. I mean all of the little ones were! I couldn’t stop smiling.
Running around super fast, screaming ‘superhero’ was pretty much the highlight of the party. I was hoping my handmade lightning bolt pinata (my sister’s idea) would have been the hit, well, it was sort of. One of the kids took their fist to it one time…boom! Candy everywhere. The kids freaked. So hilarious to watch.
Piece of cake!? Not exactly, but thanks to the help of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, I was able to make it happen. The multicolored ‘surprise’ cake was a hit, everyone loved it! And the ‘3’ sugar cookies too! So good and still eating leftovers.
Ahhh! I can’t believe he is three!

My little prize winners at pumpkin land yesterday!
FALL is H E R E…and it is gorgeous outside, maybe even a little too nice! Since the everyone was sick, (but me) this weekend we weren’t able to go to the pumpkin patch, but the boys and I went today! We also packed a lunch and ate it at the park. It was a blast…photos to come!
I love this little illustration by Oliver Jeffers for Anthro Magazine.

This weeks Etsy discovery…Road + Rail washi tape. Soon to be every little boys new fave thing. As much as Jax plays with his cars and trucks and trains, he would dig it. I have to order this set. The site was in Dutch, so I wasn’t able to order. But of course, etsy came through.
Fillmore, the bus drew me in.
Today I decided to take a break from my todo list and take the boys to the park. It was so peaceful and breezy. We had ourselves a little picnic! Saw a few ducks. Jax wore himself out on the playground and Casen took a snooze.
Perfect day to go to the park. 60° and sunny! I feel like we have been stuck in the house lately…so ready for spring! Jax had a blast. I did too. It was nice to take a little walk and get some fresh air. He was so funny quackin’ at the ducks and trying to hold them. Quite the brave one, climbing up all the ladders by himself.
ps. I’m in love with that first photo…so my little peanut.
Time to catch up…I’ve been a little under the weather since the weekend. Saturday we went to a dinosaur birthday party. Jaxon had so much fun playing with all the kids. He was a little scared to go down the big slide though. Sunday was a great day. We watched football. Daddy made homemade pizza. We went for a bike ride with our friends and their little girl, Eddi. The sunset was so pretty. Then we had waffle cones! Yum.
