Wild Weekend

Last Saturday we had planned Jackson's 5th birthday party. It's hard to find a place to have his party where Morgan will be content, so we decided to do it at home. We rented an inflatable thing where they could jump and slide, and we rushed to paint the kitchen, clean the yard, etc. Well, early in the week the forecast was rain, but I kept hoping it would change. Finally Thursday night I conceded to the fact that it was going to rain Saturday. We gave Jackson the option of postponing it to this weekend or moving it to Burger King's indoor playground. He opted for Burger King, so I called and canceled the inflatable and typed up notes to send home with all of his friends. It worked out fine and he had a great time.

Jackson wanted a hunting and fishing cake, so he and I went out and bought the animals and the fishing gear and a guy that I work with did an awesome job of putting it all together.

Jackson got two new fishing poles from his PawPaw and MeMe. My camera died, so this is the only present picture I got.

After singing happy birthday to Jackson, his friends all chose something off of the cake to lick the icing off of.

My beautiful little girl.

The kids had fun playing.

We kept Morgan content by letting her watch The Price Is Right on the portable DVD player.

Then, Sunday Morning, we woke up to snow flurries. Jackson threw on his coat and boots and went outside. He said it was a miracle, but got upset that it wasn't enough to stay on the ground.

He tried to catch a few on his tongue.

You can see the flurries in his hair.
If you make the picture bigger, you can see the snow flurries.
