Insta-Snow!

Since we are barely getting a winter with this crazy climate change, we made some "Insta-snow" this week. It is a fascinating and bizzarely snowy substance.

We hid animals in the snow and made fun things like "dinosaur soup" and "animal milkshakes."

Taffe and I highly reccomend this (slightly messy) but super fascinating material!

What a special and wonderful day! Taffe had such a happy birthday, and he has many loving family members and best pals. His girlfriend's mama even made (yes, sewed) him his snazzy "choo choo 3" shirt, which he adores!

Let's ride the rails!

Our little man is still an avid train enthusiast, so we were eager to spoil Taffe with a fantastic train bash! He was full of smiles and engaged in all of the activities with his best pals through the entirety of the party.

The train tracks, which went around the whole first floor of our house.

Taffe helped me make the train banners.
The train above holds pictures of Taffe at ages 1, 2, and 3!

We had a weather delay to the party, which may have been an unplanned bonus, since Taffe was able to enjoy all of the train decor before he got to share it with everyone!

We also created a cardboard train for the children to play on and decorate. Lots of great play!

Adding some art and being engineers or conductors!

Cutest passenger, Baby Kingston!

Break for pizza and a treat!

A very special treat from Grandma and Grandpa! They made all the cake pops and created his special birthday train. Taffe loved it! And check out all the candles!!!

Taffe blew out all but 2 candles in one big breath! Whew!

Evidently, when everyone went off to play again, Double Trouble cousins decided to have round 2 with the cake pops!

Taffe and Charlie

Happy Third Birthday, Taffe!

We love you!

Today, I am 3!

We have been talking, and talking, and talking about when Taffe would be 3! If you asked him last week, he would have told you, "I am not 3 yet!" So today, when told him it's your birthday, he immediately said, "I am not 3 yet! In 2 days!" Ha! No worries, after a presents and a mini-family celebration, he totally gets it!
