This year was the 6th annual Ginger Bread House Decorating Party. It was the best one yet. The houses had great themes and the kids did a fantastic job of sticking with them. We have short videos of the kids describing there houses and the themes behind them, but they are stuck on the camera. We have an old camera and a new computer. One day I'll get them off and put them up here. This was Sam's first year decorating his own house and he did great. I helped him get the icing on each side but he put every piece of candy on himself.
We are on vacation right now and a really cool day out at a game farm in Sequim with my folks. You pay to drive your car through big big fenced in areas with all kinds of animals. You can also buy a loaf of bread to feed to them as you go through. I favorite were the yaks. They slobbered all over the outside of my mom’s car.
Ethan loves Star Wars and I think he is converting Sam too. Ethan bought his dad a new light saber for his birthday. That means he could teach Sam a thing or two about mortal combat. Sam likes it a lot too.
Sam is 3 years old now. I know, it has gone by so fast. He makes more proud every day. He talks all the time now. We have to make sure we are around folks who know to watch their language because he will repeat everything.
His birthday was great. We had a bunch of his friends over for a monster truck birthday. We had a craft project for the kids that they all loved. They had small trucks that we made up ahead of time. Then they got to put foam stickers on them to decorate them. I made a race track in the garage and we had truck races. Everyone one a prize and then they got to play them on the track in the garage.
