Birthday Play Date

We had a fun little play date to celebrate P1's birthday. We had a lot of little pumpkins, and we cut out funny faces on foam stickers. The kids had fun picking out stickers for their pumpkins. Unfortunately, I learned this year that the stickers do not work well on cold pumpkins. So note to self, next year bring the pumpkins instead the night before. We still had a fun time with our friends!

 

Birthday Celebration

My little boy turned 4! When he came out of his bedroom, his presents were on the piano so now he thinks that's where all birthday presents are supposed to be. He loved his new Bucky ship, and his Pokemon t-shirt.

P1 did a pretty good job at sharing his new toys with his sister. But I did have to keep reminding P2 that it was P1's birthday and that these were his special new toys.

 

That night we had family come over to celebrate. P1 thought it was great to open so many presents!

P1 got some pretty awesome cards. One had a blow-up pirate sword inside the card, and another card could be turned into a pirate hat. Cards are definitely not what they used to be!

P1 loved the Jake outfit he got, complete with a spyglass, bandanna, sword, and map.

 

 

He also got a Jolly Roger ship to go with his Bucky ship. He got some nice new clothes, including a Kion outfit (from The Lion Guard). He also got some "school" books, the book "Ferdinand the Bull",  a few other books, and a small Lego set.

 

P1 wanted a Lion Guard cake. Fortunately, we already had the characters. I thought it came out pretty well! P1 loved how the cake looked, but he didn't end up eating much of it. My kids are not big fans of cakes.

Happy Birthday P1, we love you!

Picking Pumpkins

My grandpa has a pumpkin patch down in central Utah. They grow an enormous number of pumpkins and ship them all over the state, and some even go outside Utah. They grow many different types of pumpkin and squash, and so we have fun going through and finding all different shapes, sizes, and colors of pumpkins.

It is fun to go down to my grandma's house with my kids and share this tradition with them.  

 

Meeting Cousins

We went over to grandma's house for dinner and were surprised to meet the kid's cousins! They have lived in Canada, so this is the first time we have seen our niece, and the second time we have seen our nephew. Our nephew is a few months younger than P1, and our niece is 1 year younger than P2. It was fun for the kids to meet their other cousins! And now they live in Utah, so hopefully we will see them more often!
