And Then They Were 4...

(cross posted from the boys' blog)



---

You know they've had a good day when you hear things like:

Did you like your cupcakes?

"Yes, but I can't have anymore cake."

But you can have some tomorrow.

"No!" (dramatically turns head away) "I can't because I'm toooooo full."

---

"I gotta go find me some presents." (They only got three small gifts from mommy and daddy today.)

---

‎"Mommy...I had the most wonderfulest birthday."
"Me too!"
And with that, they both rolled over and went to sleep. :-)

Shawn figures he should just pinch the flame rather than blow it out...
He did try, though. Lol.

Now Jason blew until he nearly passed out!

The best part of the whole thing. Mmmm...cupcakes!

Num, num, num...

Jack thought he'd take a bite, too!
Mommy was mean and pulled it away at the last minute. :-(

More presents!

Off with the ribbon...

Is it a hat?

Yeah a present!

Present unwrapping is serious business, y'all.

What is it?

Um...I don't know. What is it, mommy?

Oh, wow! It's a game! (Tangrams)

Shawn, you're too slow. Let me help you!

Hey, I got a game, too!

They really did have a fantastic day. It was so fun to watch their faces light up when we'd add in another surprise. I think this day will be one they talk about for a long time!

And that makes my heart super happy. :-)

How are these kids all getting so OLD? It's time for me to start party planning for the fabulous fours, too!

And I mean it, FOUR is going to be FABULOUS, damnit.

Glad they had a good day!

J, I didn't do anything special. I just made the cake mix and divided it into 6 parts. I tinted each part a different color. Then I just dropped a small spoonful of each color into the cup cake tins.

The nice thing is that the colors didn't mix together at all, so they were really colorful when they baked.

My boys think they are the.best.thing.ev.er.

Well done Momma. That is a hell of a vocabulary word.

My three do not have any concept of time. If I tell them something is going to take ten minutes, my oldest says, "Oh, I can count that high."

So glad they had such a great birthday!
