Guess who turned three today! Well it wasn't Calvin...
Peter turned three! It still hasn't totally hit me... that I have a three year-old. Three already! Three years ago I was made a momma. And in the last three years things have been nothing less than exciting, busy, crazy, and tons of fun!
Peter's day reflected pretty accurately the last three years.
Oh and fair warning... this post has about a million pictures of Peter and every moment of his day.
It all started bright and early this morning (per usual) with pancakes and cartoons. Then his mom stayed way too busy getting things ready for his birthday party. (Note to self... next year get everything ready the night before so you can actually play with your son on his birthday instead of run around like a psycho.)
No seriously guys. A psycho. An hour before the party started I tried to start the frosting only to find about a 1/3 cup of powdered sugar in the whole place. I needed 7 cups. At least. This would be a good time to thank my wonderful husband for taking care of me and my silly self all day. From running to the store last second for powered sugar to doing dishes for hours to cleaning up the bomb that went off in our apartment. Thank you Todd, you are the best. And I love you.
So yeah... once the party got going Peter had a bit of a hard time adjusting to all of his buddies playing with his toys. Once we all settled down and cheered up we had a great time hanging out with friends, eating snacks, and of course enjoying some birthday cake!
Peter had been saying that he wanted a train cake for a month or so... and last night when I asked him what flavor he said, "big" haha. We went with "brown" cake. And I guess it was big-ish. Either way he was satisfied. (: Especially since it was a big brown Thomas train cake.
This is Peter post-birthday song pretending to blow out the candles because it was too windy. And yeah we're going to have to get good at this whole "birthday party in August" thing. That butter-cream frosting didn't stand a chance.
And Peter can't have a birthday without getting a good shove-my-face-with-cake picture.
Peter also showed his buddies his favorite game... speed down the hill as fast as you can without running over anyone. Which he usually can pull off. Except today he ran into three people. Sorry about that, guys.
Can't forget about Lisi and Penny, the two most adorable girlies in the world!
After the party we cleaned up and took naps before moving the party inside for some family time. Peter was pretty excited to wake up to even more balloons!
Peter asked for pizza and mashed potatoes for his birthday dinner. I nixed the combo and we went for just pizza. But not just any pizza...
..."barbie" sauce chicken pizza!
And because the wind stole the show with blowing out the candles earlier today we went for round two... which was also how many Peter blew out on the first try. I was actually pretty impressed. (:
Bunny and puppy even got in on the fun!
After a quick hose down Peter finally got to open his presents. Next year I am hiding them until he gets to open them so he doesn't ask me about them all day haha.
He got some fun train toys, soccer gear, farm stickers, a train puzzle, swim goggles, and sun glasses! Lucky kid!
Well there you have it... Peter's crazy third birthday. He's a fun kid... full of creativity and curiosity! He's an awesome big brother and is very patient with his momma. He says the funniest things and catches onto stuff so quickly.
Happy birthday Mr. Peter, we love you and can't wait to see what year four brings!
