Our Unwelcomed Guest[s]

Yesterday was Stephen's Fourth Birthday. We had planned on having a party at our house in the afternoon, and eating cake and ice cream outside on the grass. Well, we first had power repair guys outside our house (and thus the power was off until about 20 minutes before the party started. But it was fun to watch them working! Then my husband found two garden snakes in our grass. And brought one inside the house. Yikes! Thankfully the snakes left before it was time to eat outside.

Going on a Walk

The weather has been so nice lately that we have started going on walks. Stephen loves to walk on the grass near the sidewalk. His favorite things to point out are the water meters (that he is standing on) and what he calls "the paper house". The paper house is his fa-vor-ite!

Stephen says some of the cutest things ever.

"Just a mina-second."
"Mommy/Daddy, you're a genius."
"Does that sound like a plan?" (That's a phrase I use a lot)
Every time we drive he always points out the skyscrapers (except I cannot figure out what he is pointing to).

We sure love him!
