The kids had a snow day today. We usually make a list on days off or weekends of what we would like to do that day (mainly so that I don't forget anyone's ideas after the first hour). Some of the "regular ideas" were thrown out there- legos, puzzles, baking, but James had another agenda... He was insistent on having a surprise party for Gabe. I tried my hardest to persuade him otherwise since Gabe's birthday isn't until 2/14, but he had an answer to everything I threw at him. He had specific decorations, games, baking a cake and even present ideas. It snowballed, all of the kids were so excited to put together this party that there was very minimal fighting and lots of cooperation to bake a cake, decorate the cake and build/wrap gifts. It was such a fun day and Gabe was completely surprised to come home to such a thoughtful party. Some of the specific ideas from James were for a chainsaw made of big legos, a birthday cake of big legos that everyone had to participate in making (under his direction of course) and this ring of lego mini figures that he meticulously laid out onto the table for daddy to eat his supper in and for the cake to sit:)
