who wants it more... Nubbin, Fafa or 1/2 CharlieGraham?
what's monkey talk for 'cute cake'?
Fafa ate 1/2 of the birthday candle... he thought it was part of the cake
crazy Nana banana - she's going to feel that in the morning :)
no longer a baby!
'My Aunt ROCKS' - from Sissy, of course !
We had a family party on Saturday for Fafa (we missed you, Grandma!) and he was so cute. He was the perfect host and sat with different people to open each gift. Sissy made the cake... It was awesome!! I do sincerely apologize for the 4 + hours it took to create, but we'll always have the memory of Fafa's 2nd birthday cake and as Sissy always tells me... 'it's all about the memories!' Thanks to all of our family and the McLaurin family for celebrating with us... We love you!
Fafa had his 2nd birthday on Saturday and to start things off, we invited all of his playgroup friends over on Friday for cake and ice cream. I made the cake and yes, it's supposed to be a monkey :) Here's the poem I put on the invite:
The only good thing about having a bunch of trees in your backyard during Fall is raking them into a pile as tall as Fafa and watching the kids get lost in them... completely lost. The kids, along with the next door neighbors, had a blast in the pile we ended up raking to the front curb. Yes, one of the kids actually lost a shoe... it took 20 minutes, 2 kids and 3 adults just to find one shoe.
Nubbin learned how to play Hide n Seek at preschool and decided to teach Fafa... Here is Fafa trying to count. The only number he can remember is 6... so, he was repeating 'six, uh, uh, six, six...'
The kids finally get the hullabaloo that is Halloween... you dress up, say 'trick or treat please!' (or nothing at all) and get free candy... heck, you don't even have to ask mom or dad if you can have it... all you have to say is 'Thank you!' and Dad says, 'let's go to the next house and get more candy!' and then mom gives it to you after each meal for the next week. Yay for Halloween!
This picture of Fafa was taken at our neighbor's Halloween party before everyone got into their costumes to go trick or treating. I have no idea where he found the visor, golf ball or bubble blower. It's so funny that one of his pants legs is pulled up too. I can only imagine what's going on in his head... 'I am the coolest kid on the block!'
The picture says it all... now, if we can just teach the kid to throw the football, Husband can retire early....
Fafa and I went on a nature walk to study bugs and animal life (the program was through the parks and recreation dept. of Wake county). We met up with his 'best' friend and the two of them had a blast wandering the woods and touching all sorts of icky bugs. Notice, I dressed Fafa in the right coat... total coincidence since I didn't notice until I looked at these pics. It was a wonderful mommy and me day... I live for days like this :)
