masters of the universe

as it turns out, matthew no longer qualifies to be in the twenty seven forever club. this is because today he turned twenty eight! we celebrated his birthday yesterday, due to it being family day long weekend and all. me and madeleine got him 'He-man and the Masters of the Universe' season one, volume one, and we also got him...



...for our lunch box collection.

also, we tried taking madeleine for a sled ride yesterday, which she was not having absolutely anything to do with...we got a few good videos of her crying her face off and that is about it. i think we would have been okay, but maddie's fear of dogs took over the outing when we passed a house with a dog who followed us all the way down the length of his fence and barked his head off at us. needless to say, madeleine was hysterical. maybe next time.
