The Flynn Five: March 2009

Happy Birthday Charlie!

Six years ago today, Charles Anderson Flynn arrived--and our lives have never been the same! He was so excited when he woke up this morning to find a cowboy hat and "hunter gun" like Travis's on Old Yeller. Of course the "hunter gun" sounds and looks real, but harmless. He also got a new BB gun that will also hopefully be harmless with adult supervision!

We had a fun day today. He had a pizza and cupcake party at school today. His friend and neighbor Taylor has the same birthday, so the whole class was ready to celebrate! Taylor's parents and I also got married on the same day, same time...quite a coincidence

Molly thought she was mighty big in the kindergarten classroom!

Thanks for helping Ms. Alicia and Ms. Nicole!

Daddy wouldn't have missed this party for the world. Daddy doesn't miss anything!

So if you see someone running around our neighborhood throwing rocks at dogs and telling them to get out of our drinking water, or shooting at wolves and wild hogs...don't be alarmed...it's just a sweet little boy with a wild imagination!

It Snowed!!!!

I could hardly believe my eyes this morning when I looked outside to see snow covering the ground. We had heard the predictions, but I had to see it to believe it. We have gotten our hopes up way too many times. The kids were so excited. . We were dressed and outside by 8:15! It's a good thing we went out early because most of it was gone by lunch. I tried to get Gray dressed up for a cute picture, but his eyes were too heavy. He slept the entire time we played. He may be in middle school before it happens again. Until last year, it had been seven years since we had had anything more than a dusting. After coming in to my warm house, I was thankful for living in the South. I don't think I could handle that kind of wind and cold every day. We enjoyed a mug of hot chocolate and played the rest of the day INSIDE!
