Happy 4th Birthday!


How did our little man turn 4 already? seems like just yesterday we were out in Kansas driving to Overland Park Hospital for our resort baby to arrive. (It was a super nice hospital and did seem pretty resort-like!) How he's grown? Little T has a terrific laugh, he's our first true lefty, he throws a mean fast-ball, he's super cuddly, crazy about his baby sister, and just a terrific kid!
I asked what kind of cake he wanted and he wanted a red bear cupcake cake. We planned to have a dinner he like and his cake but no power made that a little harder. So we went to Ikea for fun playtime. We got there and the kids play area was full so we went to get my free cup of coffee (thanks Ikea Family) and found out Monday was free breakfast day so we ate another breakfast. Then playtime. KG and I did some shopping and then picked up our free yogurt (thanks Ikea Family again). Who knew hot dogs there are only 50 cents so we got 5 hotdogs and 2 yogurts for $3.50- that's a celebration!

After naps, per T's birthday request we went swimming at the Y and then picked up shrimp and sausage to grill for dinner. For his birthday dessert, T helped me make soy milk rice pudding which was a great idea for using up milk (no power) and cooking on gas stove-top instead of baking. T was also super excited about his birthday presents- a leftie glove from us and clothes and preschool books from Grandma. A wonderful day for a special boy.
