Theo's First Kids Birthday Party

Last month I asked Theo what he wanted to do for his birthday. He said he wanted to have a birthday party. We let him invite 5 friends from school for a gathering at our house.

Well, I told him he could invite more, but he said those 5 were his friends. I guess you can't argue with that.

Meadow helped out with most of the planning and decorating.

Can't say I did much other than order the pizza and pickup his cake.

The anticipation was palpable.

And then Theo's first friend arrived.

Theo requested Dominos and fruit and veggies.

I ordered way too much pizza. Partially because we forgot to mention lunch on the invites.

Since it was a math and number themed party we played Bingo. The other kids weren't quite as patient with the game as Theo is. After one round they were ready to move on.

They were too excited to play together anyway.

Is there anything cuter than a kindergarten birthday party?

Maybe we should have a cheap cake for the kids next time. There was so much leftover on the kids plates.

After everyone left Theo opened his presents. I just can't make people sit around while our kid opens presents.

I always hated all the attention and I'm sure my kids are the same way.

He got a DIY lantern and remote control car.

The RC car the size of a hot wheels was so cool.

Then Meadow and I sold some Girl Scout cookies. This is her first year doing a cookie booth.

Theo had told all his friends there was going to be a fort at the party. The friends seemed more interested in the toys.

Happy Birthday, Theo bub.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.

Day 1 After saving up for a few years we were finally ready to take a real family vacation. Our original plan was to rent a camper van in San Diego and drive down into Baja California. When we couldn't find any rental places that allow you to cross the border we decided on Mexico City.
