Cinco de Kale

Kale is finally five. Seems like he's been five forever but he's just gotten there. Little man was gifted with new baseball gear, legos, a giant kite and motorcycle men. As always, he woke up to a party in his bed. Balloons and streamers galore. He totally used and abused the birthday boy status. "Kale, go put your shoes away." "But I'm the birthday boy!" This wasn't just for one day either. He took donuts up to his class room and wore a birthday crown all day. It was a good day to be Kale!

That's how we roll.

Two of the men are another year older so what better way to celebrate than a roller skating party...again. Kale was not happy about it and then had a ton of fun. Steve changed Kale's skates a million times. Trainer, real ones, roller blades..on my! Lucas couldn't skate well when we started and was a pro by the end of the party. All of their good buddies were there to help roll in a new year.

Nursery Rhyme day

Kale's class busted out another program. They performed nursery rhymes for the whole school. As you can tell he was forced to get his picture taken with his teacher.

The celebration continues

A girl only turns ONE once in her life but in our house it's celebrated several days.

"The real boss of me at school is Boss Hog (from the Dukes of Hazzard), but nobody can really see him but me!"

Kale, nearly 5

The big sledding event

Steve took the B boys on their first official sledding trip. They loaded up the truck in search of the perfect hill to hurl themselves down. They made a nice little path and added a ramp at the bottom. Up and down, up and down they went for over an hour. Steve delivered 3 human popsicles home with a ravenous appetites. They have yet to figure out why anyone would not like this much snow. It's fun and it keeps them out of school.
