Yes, we got some snow again. Not as bad as last time, but, well, it's still unwelcome. So cold.

Small, narrow kitchen with cabinets up to heaven. We are having to be creative. The magnetic spice containers on the fridge are pure genius-thank you Stedman!

Popcorn!

Yep, it's time to get the gates. Finn actually made it up the first stair with no help and then papa couldn't take it redirected him.

Aunty Mo flew in for the weekend prior, but The Dub's number 5 B-Day was yesterday. Abuelita dropped birthday muffins by in the morning on her way to work. Then the BurkeWicker's piled into the PT Cruiser and headed to the Portland Children's Museum (PCM). A good time was had by all. Check out all the photos here: Number 5!
