One weekend when Aunt Amy was in town, we got together at Grandma & Troy's house to celebrate Daddy's birthday...the kids enjoyed the chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream - especially Max!
These goofballs also had fun flying around the yard in their coordinating Superman / Supergirl pajamas! We all had lots of fun outside drawing with sidewalk chalk, throwing poppers and having water balloon fights - Aunt Amy and I each filled up so many our hands were cramped...and 30 minutes of filling them resulted in 30 seconds of wet fun!
On Daddy's actual 36th birthday, we went to dinner at Applebee's with Grandma and Troy. Afterward, the kids gave him his gifts and presented the tasty cupcakes we'd made.
This year, Max got to participate in Lucy's tradition of Dollar Tree shopping. This year , Lucy picked out six perfect items and Max picked out three.
The first thing Max chose for Daddy was an extension cord...I thought about steering him away from that and directing him to something else but that's not the point - the whole idea is to let them choose - on their own - gifts they think their Daddy would love. But when I said okay to the extension cord, Max tossed about seven more into the basket - I did have to draw the line at one...
He also chose a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse journal and some Paw Patrol tattoos!
Lucy took her sweet time searching the store high and low for the perfect items. She knew he liked Gatorade but couldn't decide between the red and the blue so she went with both. She also picked out a card for him - it was designed for someone turning 6 so she added a 3 to make it 36! She also chose a Spiderman frame, a Captain America magic washcloth, Ninja Turtle tattoos and some glow stick bracelets (for them to share, of course!).
Happy Birthday, Dave (July 18)!
