So , Oct 16th at 4 pm we had the boy's combined birthday party! It was at the camp and it was full of fun, food and family!It started out with everyone heading out to the pavilion ( because it was raining so we needed the covering) with our tools in hand. We had a surprise/project to finish up for the boys. The saturday before we had prepared the base of the project at the shop as a family
Can anyone guess what it is?
It a SEE SAW
They loved it, especially because we made it ourselves!
After a few minutes of playing and realizing that isnt the safest thing I could of thought of we ventured back inside before we had a birthday accident.
We had pizza and all the kids favorite chips and hummus
Then it was cake time.
(I decorated it an hr before the party, so although it appears half descent in my mind I had intended for it to look alot better. But Iam learning that I can only do what I have time to do and well this is how it turned out and the boys thought it was great , so that is all that matters.)
(my cake board ended up being to small when I strated putting it together so I had to work with what I could find. and it turned out to be a large piece of plywood and I put tinfoil over it, thnx Ron. and i didnt have the licorice yet to join the cars together)
I dont think these need an explanation !
HAHA it was yummy cake thats for sure.At least it was organic cake mix! made me feel a bit better but the icing was just pure garbage with a ton of food coloring in it. For those of you who know me , know that , that is a big deal for me. But its their birthday and its once a year so I tried not to think about it and i actually let Weston have two cupcakes full of icing and mini m&m's. I was very proud of myself for loosening up for a half an hr. hahahah
PIN THE PILON (sp) ON THE JOB SITE
It may look cheap but he love it!( turned out to be alot smaller than I thought)
Everyone had a turn. Westons job was to put the safety glasses on people and turn them around at least 3 times and then watch where they went.
Weston was actually the winner. He had gone first and got it practially where it was suposed to go!
GOOD JOB BUDDY
Then before any melt downs had occured I figured we needed to keep it flowing so we jumped right into the gift portion of the evening!
Weston loved opening the gift and playing with them. And I mean all the gifts. Once again Nelson didnt stand a chance at opening and playing with his own birthday gifts.
There is always next year buddy. You will be bigger and tougher and you will actually care about openeing your own gifts!
To finish the evening off we did a family photo shoot. Weston got his picture with all the family!
The BOYS had a blast!
Happy Birthday
WESTON & NELSON
And it isnt over yet. Today is Oct 29th the day after Weston actual birhtday . But to Weston it is his birthday. Pat wasnt around last night so we decided to make today his birthday and have his little family celebration . That is on their actual birthdays we go for supper just he 4 of us and go to CRystal Palace.
So this morning we had eggs and blueberries for breakfast as requested by the birthday boy and then decided it was time to decorate his big pumkin.
.
A friend had mentioned that she used mr potatoe head parts to decorate their pumkin. i. And so i asked Weston and thought it was a great idea.
And this is what we created today. wonder what it will be tomorrow.
But best of all look at Weston. His mouth isnt wide open screaming DUMPTRUCK. well it was a few seconds before, but then I asked him to smile and after me showing him evey smile I had he pulled this one out of his hat. Not bad for his first put on smile!
Then we packed up and met Grampy at the Irishtown walking park for a brisk walk. Dropped by Trina's for a visit then homeward bound we set!
(Here is Nelson looking too cute to not take a picture after our walk!)
With a sleepy but determined he wasnt tired, boy on my hands I decided since I wanted a nap and we were having a birthday outing this evening that a nap all around was a must.
So because it was his birthday I told him that mommy wanted to have a nap with him in his bed. Well he was intrigued with this idea. Mommy never sleeps with me he's thinking. So i reiterated that it was only because it was his birthday and the little dude was sold! off we ran to brush our teeth and hit the hay!
It was a great nap by the way!
Then we were off to Ponderosa for supper.
Kind a sketchy place but its cheap( especially with coupons) and it is a buffet , which means instant food no waiting. And if you choose wisely you can get a descent meal out of it. Salads ,soup and fruit.
Check out that smile people. We r defiantly on to something here! Coloring while waiting for mommy and daddy to stop stuffing their faces with food so we can get going !
We arrived and got to playing ! this is a really cool huge tree house!
Hanging in the Treehouse
Climbing in the Treehouse
One of the many trucks he rode tonight. We tried all the different colored trucks on this ride.So we rode it over and over and over! but check out the smile. The Birthday boy gets to pick the rides!
And to top it all off we have the classic one arm family shot.
opps we forgot Nelson..... hang on, lets try this again
Ahhhh there we go!
The Birthday Party month of Oct is offically over.
Phew!
LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
