Fire Museum

Today was Kraig's big day...he is OBSESSED with fire trucks (he also likes "peace" cars and "amblances"--but fire trucks/men are his absolute favorite). A couple of weeks ago, the fire dept came to his class--they're picture was even in the Collierville paper--I'll try to scan and post that later. He came home with the biggest grin that day--and a fire helmet. He also said Mrs. Gilbert told them they would be going to the fire museum....well, we went today. We told him yesterday we'd be going...so all evening, all he'd talk about was "after this night we go to the fire museum". He woke up at 540am, still talking about going.

He wore his helmet that he got from school. We also took a ride on the trolley afterwards, which is where this pic was taken (he is sitting on Chris' lap.)




He was a bit overstimulated, and didn't really like the sirens from some of the simulated trucks, but otherwise had a great time.

Spring Break

One day I'll be able to post insightful thoughts and such...but for now, sporadic posts and pictures will have to do.

I took the week off for spring break (we were supposed to go out of town, but that didn't happen). So we opted to do things around our home instead....

Saturday night we went to a Mississippi Riverkings hockey game....Kraig LOVED it! He even took a picture with Sheldon and he waved at Thing (the duck).


It's not a very good picture....it was crowded and we were afraid he'd figure out what he was doing and freak out.

Oh....and the Riverkings won....it was tied at the end of the game, had a 5 minute overtime period, and then a sudden death overtime. 3rd shooter out won the game!

Snowman

The snowman the boys made...faceless and he's nekked!

Even the dogs enjoyed the snow...this is Bruno with snow on his face.



The bush out front...I love snow in the trees..so pretty!

Snow 2009

Contrary to popular belief, Memphis DOES get snow on occasion....we got varying amounts and most of it drifted. 5 and a half inches along the driveway, 9 inches by the house.


Kraig loved playing in the snow....in fact he came through the house with just his pajama pants on, no shirt, and a scarf around his neck begging to get dressed to go play in the snow.

Voila!
