Cooper turned 2 today and, as is tradition in our family, he got to pick an activity to do, and what we ate for every meal (he was more inclined to listen to his sisters than me today so we mostly had junk food much to my chagrin). His activity was to play outside of course, but neither he or his brother lasted in the snow for more than 10 minutes before cold hands and runny noses won out. But not to have his day spoiled we made our own playground indoors, slide included! Dave spent the afternoon with the boys inside and I took the girls, who weren't ready to leave the snow, sledding. Once the girls tired themselves from climbing up hills, we went to McDonalds(aka Mickey Donalds or Old McDonalds) and spent an hour playing on their huge indoor playground and had Coopers favorite - french fries. That evening Cooper chose doughnuts over cake, so of course I got creative and made up the most cake-like looking doughnut I could and stuck two candles on top. Dave was certain he'd get sick if he ate it all, but I was certain he'd only take a few bits and squish the rest between his hands. It was lots of fun to see him so excited over his doughnut cake, and other activities that day, but it was even more fun to see his siblings get into the celebration and treat their brother extra special all day long.
