Joshua's Big Birthday Weekend!!

On Joshua's actual birthday, his day started off with a "special" Mickey Mouse pancake.

Happy Birthday to you...

I wanted to paint him a sign for a surprise when he got off the bus from school (great idea Jeanine), but that morning went by so fast that I had very little time. The next thing I knew I was painting and trying to tape up a wet banner (in the wind) all within 10 minutes! I got it done just in time as the bus rolled around the corner. I went out to meet him and what does he say to me???

Joshua: Mom, why do you have that sign up there?!

Good grief.

His big birthday gift was this red pedal car. His friend, Harry has one and Joshua loved riding it. We knew that he really wanted a motorized Jeep/4wheeler/Escalade/anything, but we like that fact that he is getting all of his "4 year old" energy out pedaling around. As you can see, he loved it and it took him less than an hour to learn how to do a spin out in the driveway...tip it over and scrape his elbow. Slapped on a Band-aid and off he went again. Boys will be boys.

On Saturday, we had his birthday party at Rockford lanes. There were nine kids bowling and it was a hit! Even the grown-ups got to have fun. We want to thank everyone who came to celebrate Joshua's 4th! We had a great time!

Watching it go....

Woohoo!
