Questions for a 3 year old!

Snow Maze

Arriving home from our Christmas festivities we had a LOT of snow!  Daddy and Chippy made a snow maze in the back yard today.  We also went sledding in the park where we pulled Chippy up and over snow drifts a zillion times.  Wee M was kept to being pulled on the level sidewalk!

Christmas 2

... and we continue with the theme of fire trucks and vehicles.  I don't imagine there is another 3 year old out there that had a better Christmas than Chippy!

Christmas 1

At Christmas 1 Chippy got his cherished hook & ladder fire truck!  Chippy was quite pleased ... lots and lots of vehicles ... now all he needs is a parking lot!

The Christmas Tree

Christmas highlight = Kabota ride to cut down a Christmas tree

Disney Characters

I completely did not see this coming ... Chippy LOVED meeting all the Disney characters!  Amazing given he really doesn't know who they are and they were so big!!  (and note to self for future years ... this was the PERFECT time to go - hardly any lines at all!)

... and then there were these characters!

Disney 2012

First Airplane Ride

Chippy slept most of the way there and back which made for a very easy airline passenger!  Even with the delay on the way there, he loved the whole experience.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

On Chippy's birthday he was picked up early from school so we could have a birthday party with Grammy/Pa!  Chippy had the most fun cutting ribbon with his scissors instead of actually opening the presents.  He received lots and lots of books for his Birthday, including the Polar Express.  A Bread & Butter chocolate cake rounded out the night - per Chippy's instructions!

Bowers Christmas 2012

Bowers Christmas 2012 has got to be one of Chippy's happiest days ever!  How to compete with Thomas time with Colin, serious train time with Uncle Jim, a Kubota tractor just like Pa's, 5 chocolate covered marshmallows, kazillions of Ruthie/Buck gifts, and crazy times with Lucie well past his bedtime!!??

Robot Boy!

The Boy Who's Always a Mess

(or, the parents who never clean their kids!)

Dear Santa ...

Words are Chippy's ... Mummy just wrote them down!

More Silliness!

The Weekend

We saw snow this weekend for the first time this season!  We didn't get outside much though - except to accompany dad to Golf Town!  Instead, we stayed inside and made pancakes for lunch (Chippy's suggestion) and acted silly by putting on Chipette's pants!!  Chippy was quite sneaky today ... after finishing his own snack (without sharing), he came out of the kitchen with 'a snack for mommy' (i.e. animal cookies).  Then he offered to open it for me, at which point he suggested that I could have one, and he could have one, too!  This continued for some time until he started counting the remaining cookies and decided the rest were his!

Dunning was officially banned from the upstairs after being found lounging on Big Spot!!!
