Since it's -20 outside and not really suitable for outdoor pursuits these days, we took the kids to the Wild Zone on Sunday. We had a complimentary ticket book to get used up, and we are also considering booking Liam's birthday party there, so I was able to do some snooping around the party room. I don't think we have the room at home for his party, especially not once we convert our playroom back into a formal dining room, because by then our house will officially be on the market. Plus, it would be great to let someone else do the cleaning up, especially when we have to be ready to show the house at the drop of a hat. A month ago Liam was talking about having a Spider Man birthday cake, something the Wild Zone won't accommodate (no outside food or drinks allowed, and they don't do Spider Man), but Liam has dropped the subject and I dare say he's over it now. Besides, we could always do Spider Man invitations and Spider Man goody bags to get his Spider Man fix. And frankly, if he gets another ride on this thing:
...well, that should be more than enough to help all his Spider Man dreams come true. (Even if we don't wind up with Spider Man kitchen cupboards at the new house.)
Back at home, both kids took good naps, and when they got up we made up a batch of sugar cookies - only this time, instead of using the Christmas cookie cutters, they were mostly hearts. Liam did throw a few holly leaves into the mix, and at first he said we weren't allowed to eat any of the heart cookies until Valentine's Day. But after the holly leaves quickly disappeared, he relented and allowed us to start in on them right away.

OH NO, guess I need to get his little birthday goodies in the mail before April in case his love of Spiderman does wane.
I don't think his love of Spider Man has waned any... he's just forgotten the idea of having a Spider Man cake! (Phew!)
