Birthdays

April is a busy busy month for our family....both our boys have birthdays at the end of the month. And so do two other families we know. So that is 6 birthday parties ALONE in the span of 2 weeks. Add to that the other random 7 b.d.parties we had, and I think that adds up to way too much cake during April.

So instead of a party this year, {c} celebrated his birthday (a month late!!--bad mommy!!) with his BFF {a}. I took them to Build-A-Bear and to dinner at micky-d's, and then we rented a Diego movie and had popcorn after his all-chocolate birthday cake, then they had a sleepover. {c} didn't end up falling asleep until 10, after moving him to the den...and {a} said that {c} woke her up 3 times, but other then that I think it was a sucess!! He even got a cool new Lego set...for him, it is ALL about the Legos right now. And yes, you DO see a pink bear in a Superman costume. He reaaaaallly wanted the pink bear, and I was a little nervous until he chose the Superman outfit for *pinkypie* (ummm...his name for his new bear....again, supporting his decisions...whatever they may be...) Fun side note: we ran into my friend {C}, who was there with her daughters and her mom, celebrating {t}'s 7th birthday. She is a good mommy--it was {t}'s birthday the next day. lol.

{n}'s party was actually before his birthday...it just took me awhile to get to the photos. ;). {S} and I had a great idea to share our littlest's birthdays at the same time...at a bouncy house!! My {n} was sick that day, so he mostly hung out with daddy. The kids all had so much fun! {S} found matching Cars shirts for the birthday boys--they were adorable! Bouncing and running, cupcake Cars cake, pizza and juice, and an inflatable birthday throne...what more could a 3 year old want? Yay! And the best part?? NO mess at either of our houses.... 3 cheers for bouncy house parties!!
