Da birfday

So this year Jack's birthday fell on a Sunday. We had the par-TAY the following weekend - which just stretched his birthday out for the entire week! Just like Mommy likes to do on her birthday! (FYI: 195 days until Decembr 10th).

On Friday some presents arrived in the mail from Michael Michael. Aunt Stephanie, Evan and Noah. Jack was SO excited that we simply had to let him open them on Saturday - his birthday eve.


The goods:

I may or may not have eaten 75% of that Phillies cookie.


Sunday the 16th (his birthday-day) started out with a trip to Dunkin Donuts for Jack's fa-vo-rite treat, a sugar donut. And for mommy's favorite treat, a large iced coffee with cream and one sweet & low and a bacon and egg croissant NO cheese.

Sorry, Kate, about the food bag in your face.

We gave Jack his choice and told him we could do whatever he wanted to do on his birthday. Of course, he picked trains. So off to Jack's favorite place in the world we went.






We have been there approximately 1352 times before - but it was Kate's first time! Here is how she felt about it.

Interesting.

Of course 5 minutes after we arrived Kate was all "I'm hungry. Wahhh." Babies!


Jack especially loves the outdoor layout ..


And the indoor layout ..


This one is actually located inside a real renovated train car!

After that Jack and Kate watched an "I Love Toy Trains movie" ..


And Jack hung out in a caboose ...


Then it was time to go home. Kate looked like this:


And Jack looked like this:


Once we got home we did "cake" ...


And presents ..




And that brought Jack's birthday-day to an end. Coming up, Jack's birthday party!

Happy birthday to you once again, my sweet little train lover!

My "baby" ...

Can you guess how old Jack is today? Here is a hint ...



Happy birthday to the most amazing five year old to ever grace the face of the Earth. Our little Jgif-a-roo is the best son-brother-cousin-grandbaby-nephew that a family could dream of. Not a day goes by that this boy doesn't make me smile bigger, laugh harder and sigh deeper then I ever have before. And just when I think I couldn't smile any bigger, laugh any harder or sigh any deeper, another day dawns and he proves me wrong. I don't know what I ever did to deserve the amazing gift that was given to me five years ago today, but it must have been damn good.

First Bath!

No she is not just now getting her first bath. It occured a number of weeks ago ... but I am just now getting around to posting the pictures. Hey, life with two kids, a cat and an addiction to Jersey related reality TV is busy!

As you can see - she LOVED it.


Couldn't get enough of it.


Please sir, may I have some more?


Is this not the HAPPIEST little flower you ever did see?
