Here are some shots of Little Man’s party this weekend. All the family was here and we had a blast! There was pizza, salad and the cutest cake I have ever seen! We played outside all day. He received a sand box and a little baby swing set and just loves it. I’m relieved that he now has something to keep him occupied outside instead of constantly walking in front of his swinging sisters.
I can’t tell what his favorite present is yet. He has been going back and forth between them all. We went with our family favorite – Little People- and got him the garage. Now, we have given all three kids something Little People for their first birthdays. I must say that toys just aren’t as fun as they used to be! I remember playing with the Little People garage at my baby sitters when I was little and it was way cooler! They don’t have anything to compare it to though so the kids all like it. They also really enjoyed the balloons. Isn’t it funny how the smallest purchase is usually what they enjoy the most?
I said I’d never do it, but when I was in the Dollar Tree on Friday (clutching my zipped up purse like a maniac – Thank you Stephanie!) I found lots of cute little treats for the girls so they got a present too. I really don’t like the idea of them expecting a present on their siblings’ birthday but I just couldn’t pass these things up. So we spent a lot of time this weekend playing cards – Go Fish, Crazy Eights and Snap. The G-Monkey was so cute with Snap. Everytime we would say Snap she would take us literally and snap her fingers! We finally just let her win a couple.
Dh also worked on our new shed this weekend. For some reason, I don’t like buildings in the back yard but we really needed this one. It’s just a shed for the lawn stuff but it will make our backyard safer for the kids. We have been spending so much time outside this year that something had to be done. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before but we planted a garden this year. It is just a tiny thing but the kids are having such fun with it and next year we will know what grows well for us and can plant a larger one. 
So, that’s it for our weekend. Hope yours was just as great!

Not sorry at all that I made you clutch your purse!:)
Oh and he is such a cutie! Love the beautiful boy song!HOWEVER, Rhett just ran through here and heard it and said said “Please Mom don’t put that song on your blog if it’s about me!” Drat! I was already planning that post! 
Ek would live outside if we would let her and the other’s can’t wait to get home from school and get outside!
I am ready for our summer schedule, just not the summer heat. Do you think they could move “summer” break to be April, May, and June instead of June, July and August?
Erin – Here are the pictures. I had to wait until everyone was asleep so I could post again. I had bored kids today. Did you work out? I have pink eye! So I’m housebound again…Think of me on Taco Tuesday!
Stepg – I love that song too. I’m not a big Beatles fan but I heard that song in Mr. Holland’s Opus and it stuck with me. I bet Rhett would rather have a superhero song. Good thing mine is too little to protest! And I was just thinking that about summer break but I realized it was orginally planned so the kids didn’t have to be in school (before air conditioning) in the hottest months. At least I’m not pregnant this year!
CUTE! Sounds like you guys had fun! That is a great looking cake! We really should get together outside of Teacher Appreciation!
CUTE blog! It was great seeing you last night at GNO.
I love that slide thing for the pics……I need to do that!
