Weekend

Saturday was Cole's birthday party. We awoke to a very sunny day. It was also -30 with the windchill. So we prayed our way through the morning in hopes that God would show us some mercy and warm it up a bit. He did! By the time everyone started to arrive around 1:30, it was about -7 and the wind had died way down.

Greg put in so much time on the ice. He blew the snow off a huge patch, then scraped and then...he rented a pump, cut a hole in the ice, and flooded it. He was out there until after 11:30 Friday night. By the time he came in, his snow pant legs were ice blocks. What a man! He sure loves making things fun for his family.

Cole was thrilled with his day. I made him a Lightning McQueen birthday cake. I've done lame decorated cakes before. This was my first serious one. I even rented a pan from Bulk Barn! So he was so excited about his cake. I'll post a picture when I get them uploaded.

Speaking of which. We have our digital camera back. We had lent it to someone else for over a year, because we have a video and regular 35 mm camera. They had nothing. At one point we were thinking we were going to get another one from someone else, but that didn't work out, so we were so happy to know they didn't need ours anymore.

Am making an extensive wish list for the house. Some of it is projects, some of it is accessories, some of it is furniture, and some of it is renovations. We'll be busy for a few years I think!
