So Zach's school celebrates 'half' birthdays during the year for the kids whose birthday's fall in the summer months. In Zach's class, when it's your birthday week, or half birthday in his case, you are Star of the Week, you bring in a poster board with all of your pictures, you make an all about me box and most importantly, you get to bring Crocky home from Friday until Tuesday. Crocky is the classes stuffed crocodile and you take him wherever you go and journal about his experience at home with you.
Friday night Zach and Crocky played the Wii...
Zach really wants a dog - it's all he talks about lately. So Saturday we took Crocky to the local pound to visit the dogs.
Zach really liked this one dog - and when Zach would walk away the dog kept watching him and whimpering for him to come back...when it was time to leave the two of them just stood there staring at each other!
Saturday night we went to our friends Christy and Tom's while Zach had a play date with their son Murphy. After dinner the boys had "Happy Half Birthday cupcakes".
Sunday morning it was time to get ready for church - it's no secret that Zach loves to get dressed up for church, so he decided that Crocky should wear a tie to church!
Sunday afternoon we went to my sister's house to celebrate my niece Emily's 9th birthday.
Of course Alex was quite happy to get in her loving from Papa...
I think Crocky had quite an eventful visit - and even Max enjoyed Crocky's visit - he spent a lot of time in Crocky's bag.
This weekend we got ANOTHER 12-13 inches of snow and the kids are enjoying being out of school. Last I heard they were predicting another 20 inches for this weekend - in Richmond - seriously?!? I don't think the kids will be back to school for a month if that happens!!

Half birthdays are my favorite (since I also have a summer birthday). I still celebrate my half birthday. I love Crocky, especially dressed up for church. Zach is too funny
