Happy Birthday Sawyer!

Our energetic Sawyer is THREE!! We celebrated his birthday on Friday the 25th. It was low key, but the main little man was happy, and that's what's important.

Waiting for him when he got up was a present on the table...Lucky Charms! He doesn't get sweet cereal like this, so was ecstatic. He ate 5 bowls, oh yea! Notice the last link in his count-down chain...

"It's my birthday!"

Decked out in his spider-man shirt (he requests it everyday) and with his gloves and cowboy boots he's ready to party!

Starting the day off right with a bike ride.

 We opened a few presents intermittently throughout the day.

A bike! We actually probably wouldn't have gotten him a pedal bike this early, but I got it at a really good deal, and he actually does pretty well on it. He's definitely more comfortable on his balance bike, but we'll see how this pedal bike works out over the next few months.

Bring on the SPRINKLES! Uncle Jojo would have loved this cake :)

His requested THREE cakes for his birthday, and wanted to help me make them. He decided on chocolate cake with green frosting and LOTS of sprinkles. He hardly dug into his cakes, and abandoned them for his 'black' ice cream cone.

Note the magic window markers have gone to good use on our sliding doors.

As we finished cake, icecream, and presents I knocked a jar out of the pantry and onto the floor. Miller's Relish and glass was everywhere! Seriously. I found pieces of glass by the piano and all the way on the other side of the house in the toy room, two rooms away!. That's tile for you I guess. It was really annoying, but I set up the boys tent and they got a special movie night while I swept/vacuumed/steam mopped the entire floor. Probably the only way that would have gotten done. :) Note how I had to strap Jack into his car seat otherwise he wouldn't have sat through a movie.

I interviewed Sawyer today and asked him a bunch of questions. Here's is what he had to say (while playing outside on the water table):
