Today I decided to host a small intimate family party for my little fella. Being his b-day falls on a weekday we will be having a BLOW OUT birthday party this Saturday at Kangaroo Bob’s. It’s a HUGE indoor playground for sugar high overloaded children to run around and jump and slide on MONSTER bouncies. Thank heavens for places like this. Rather there than my house. 🙂  hee! hee!

I surprised him after preschool with balloons, gifts, and cake. Of course we have to wait for Daddy to get home before we open gifts and eat cake. He was soo dissapointed. It was killing him to have to wait for Daddy to get home from work. Here he is waiting and waiting….. He RARELY left the table!

Counting paper plates and still waiting for Daddy…. notice the crown is now upside down.

YEAH!!! Daddy is home!!!! Look at this MOTLEY crew???? My hubby looks goofy, Grant (wearing his crown upside down) isnt even looking at the camera, and it’s a miracle that Vivian has pulled off her party hat yet.

Now for a REAL laugh! After wanting cake ALL day long. I finally cut him a piece and he takes one bite, and decides he doesnt wan’t it! I SWEAR my son does NOT have my sugar gene! I LOVE sweets! Some people love salt or sugar. Im a sugar girl! My son doesn’t care for cookies or cake. Occasionally he will eat ice cream. Anyhoo, looks like I’ll have alot of cake left over. The BIG party is this Sat, so Im sure I’ll have more fun b-day pics to share with ya!  🙂
