Camping & Alex Turns 3

We've had a great couple of weeks. Alex turned 3 last Thursday. He got to do whatever he wanted after school so he chose:
- french fries at McDonald's
- 2 games of Candyland
- soccer
- baseball
- musical instruments
- birthday cake
- computer games
- no bed time
Mom and Dad were tired, so at 9:15pm Alex said "Mommy and Daddy, you can go to bed." So we did. Alex kept playing his computer games until 11pm when he came upstairs and fell asleep in our bed.

Over the weekend we went camping with some friends down south by Olympia. Friday was a little rainy but Saturday was perfect. We spent most of the time around the camp fire as it was colder than we planned for, especially at night. Julia discovered she likes pancakes. And Alex learned how to toast marshmallows. He likes to set them on fire first and then fling the stick around.
