Inside the package



I got some more birthday presents. This was much needed, as we haven't left our neighborhood since Monday.
I actually have psychic ability at the regular Guess Who, but this Cars 2 one is a bit more difficult.
I surprised my mom by saying I wanted to exchange this Lego set (I got this one from my parents last year).

Birthday Lunch


















Mom and dad let me open some birthday presents early last week. These are from my grandparents who live in Ohio.

Penguins
Last week at school, we were studying penguins and making winter art.

Okay, whatever

Gabe is so easygoing. He got a couple presents (police Lego sets) that were the same and I told him we could take them back so he could get something different. "No, that's ok. I can use them." I again explained that we had the receipts and he could pick out what he wanted, but no that was too much hassle.

Yesterday was his birthday and we had planned on spending the day in Seattle, but when he saw the snow-covered road he decided to stay around town. I told him we could still go to Seattle, but he said it was okay to stay here. "No, it's fine; we'll just go to Red Robin and rent a movie."

Last night I stayed up making him brownies for school. He was supposed to have his birthday at school today, but the school cancelled class this morning. His dad told him about school and Gabe said, "okay" and went back to playing Legos.

"Mom, can we go sledding today?" The snow looks really slushy and there isn't much of it, so I told him we could go for a walk to check out the sledding conditions, and maybe pull him along in a sled a little.
"Okay, I'll wake dad up after breakfast." I know Gabe really wants to go solo down the park hills, but we need more snow.

Finally, Snow


This is probably the best birthday gift.






This was about an hour ago. Now, the street is completely covered.

Missing Tooth




Last night I was so tired I went straight to bed without putting on pajamas or brushing my teeth. My mom always tells me that if I don't brush my teeth they will fall out.
After eating breakfast and attempting to brush my teeth this morning, I realized my loose tooth was missing. My mom and I looked around for it, but had no luck. There was a bit of blood on my pillowcase, so we're guessing it fell out when I was sleeping and I swallowed it. My mom has ensured me that the tooth fairy knows about my missing tooth.

UPDATE: Mom looked in my bed again and found the tooth.
