e and Ewan just turned 3. As you see from the Birthday post the theme was trucks. On their invite I created out of construction paper a garbage truck. Here is one I created out of fabric.
This was Ewan's Birthday gift from e and I. I will be making another one for e soon. When Aunt C came to visit she brought e an iron-on to wear on his Birthday but it didn't quite come out as she had hoped. So on his gray hoodie I will be making another for him (covering up the iron-on). That picture is to come. We love you Ewan!
This is the invitation for the boys, Karl helped with the typography this year.
e and Ewan celebrated their 3rd Birthdays together again this year. We had a great time! This year was so special for many reasons, some I will share now and others I will share in a post at a later date.
We celebrated at the park with a few very close friends and family. The kids enjoyed the truck theme with hard hats and all! Louise and my Mom (Grandma) made really yummy treats. This year was super special because Celine was able to come in town and celebrate with us. Celine, my cousin e's second cousin lives in Tallahassee. She's Aunt C to e. It was a really fun visit. e continues to talk about his time with her. We will be seeing her soon this November along with Aunt Lo, Papa Joe, Great Gran and lots more family and friends.
Here are some fun pics from the day.
Thank you to everyone who was able to come!
Pumpkin muffins with cream cheese icing with trucks on top!
Thank you Celine for the hard hats! I made the trash cans with Oscar on top filled with Oreo dirt and gummy worms. P.S. The Oreo cookies were the healthy version, the worms...not so much.
Our handsome boys!
All the kids minus Poppi she didn't feel like getting her picture taken.
After the party we came back to the house and had lunch together. The boys continued to play, here are some videos of their fun.
E was doctoring Ewan. This video cracks me up...how he tells him how he feels and that he has a present for him.
The boys singing.
The boys drawing their birthday cake. Lots and lots of icing.
This year e celebrated his third Birthday a couple of times. Not only did we celebrate as a family with Ewan but his Daddy and Janine threw him a second party in the park.
e's Daddy surprised him that morning with a brand new bike, with training wheels! He does so well! On his actual day we celebrated again with Ewan, Louise, Anya, Grandma, John and Kara. It was a perfect day with those we love. And John was the perfect punching bag! The boys love ruff housing with him. Thanks guys for being with us!
go round and round, round and round, round and round the wheels on the bus go round and round all around the town. |E's version| The Mommy's on the bus go I love you, I love you, I love you, the Mommy's on the bus go I love you all around the town!
This week was the first of a new schedule at work. I am now working 4-day work weeks. This is truly an answer to prayer...many, many where I would hope for more time with my boy. Even though he is almost 3 (putting his father's and I separation at 2.5 years) I still struggle from time to time with the time we share. Knowing it's amazing time with his father, it's been hard not to have a day with E without any obligations. Our custody arrangements are not the typical every other weekend scenario, my days with E have always been with filled commitments.
Prior to Friday I looked into a tumble class for E. He loves the commercials by The Little Gym. So after doing some research I enrolled him into their gymnastics classes. Friday was our first day and he was truly thrilled. He did a great job. Nervous (only at first) of the tallest balance beam he ran to every aperatus and defeated any fear. He swung on the uneven bars, bear walked on the parallel bars. E did forward rolls with ease and walked the balance beam only having his one hand in mind, the other out and his eyes not focused down but forward. His skills caught his teachers attention. It was a joy to watch him. The rest of the day was spent with his best buddy Ewan. Louise and I look forward to sharing our Fridays and continuing to grow the boys friendship.
This evening after dinner E and I decided to make our own holiday decorations. E loves to get out his scissors.
Our creation:
It was a perfect evening with the house opened enjoying the beautiful fall weather.
E, I had a lovely weekend with you. I look forward to our Fridays together!
