Well, today was suppose to be William's preschool birthday party which basically means he gets to take a special treat of his choice to share with his friends.
We spent yesterday making the red airplane cookies he requested and they turned out really cute.
Then......the poor little guy erupted into a snotty mess. His slight sniffle turned into an official head cold with a constant runny nose, inability to sleep well and not much interest in eating. So, I had to keep him home from school today and put the cookies in the freezer for next week. In typical 3 year old fashion, WBB forgot all about the airplanes and the fact that he was missing school today. I felt kinda guilty but my boy needs to kick this cold!
To top it off, Washington, D.C. is expecting the "most major snow fall of the season" with "monster snow fall on Saturday morning in the amount of 14-25 inches." Seriously? Saturday morning is William's 3rd birthday party at the airport. Yep, that's right. Can you say -CANCELLED.
I think Mom is more disappointed than William. To be honest, William is fully aware that he is going to have a birthday party at the airport, but he also doesn't have a keen sense of time. So even though Dan and I know the party is suppose to be Saturday, William won't know the difference when we throw the party next weekend, Feb. 13th. Awe, the beauty of being 3.
P.S. - I was watching the news while I typed this post and here's a few crazy quotes from Channel 4: "People are attacking shopping stores in our area with credit cards at the ready!" "You should see the amount of toilet paper people are buying!" "Hunker down folks. We might have to ride this beast out through Monday." and "Yes, eat your Wheaties everyone! We will all need our strength to dig out of this mess."
