Andrew had a very special birthday yesterday. About two months ago, I told him that when he was three, he could pour his own syrup. That was dumb. He totally remembers everything I ever say he can do. He even got his OWN bottle of syrup that he lovingly took out of the pantry once or twice a day.
We decided to start a new tradition of Mickey Mouse pancakes for birthday dinner. Effortless for us, fun for children, it's a win-win. Andrew was happy to oblige.
We went to San Antonio this weekend for my friend's wedding and made it a fun birthday celebration. We stayed in a hotel (Andrew's ultimate experience...He LOVES jumping on the beds) and went to the SA zoo on Saturday. He loved most of it (we have a reptile lover on our hands...eek), but the elephants scared him because they were so loud. They were throwing tires in the air with their trunks and trumpeting. It was way cool, but Andrew could only stand the noise for two seconds. He also got to brush a goat (very cool) and see fish feeding off of a hippo's back (also cool). Oh, and if you're wondering, I didn't take the camera with us to San Antonio. Oopsie.
On our way home, we stopped in San Marcos...Okay, I should NEVER have found out about this. Two giant outlet malls right next to each other. Are you KIDDING me? It was SO fun. The boys fell asleep in the stroller, so we walked the ENTIRE thing, and had the best shopping with kids experience we've ever had. And this is the result:
Andrew and Justin won a $10 gift card (long story) and so we let Andrew choose something at the Disney Store outlet. Their stuffed animals were BOGOFree...Awesome. So Henry also got a birthday gift. Which is good, because honestly, we kind of forgot to get him something for his actual birthday. Parents of the year.
(You can tell he's totally ticked about us forgetting him, huh?)
Sorry about the non-sentimentality of the blog...But just had to document how much fun we had with this guy for his birthday weekend. We love him so much. I could brag about Andrew all day, he has so many great qualities, and I can NOT wait to see how he decides to use his powers in the future. He will either be a superhero or a super-villain, but I think he's going to be a very cool grown up. :)
7 Things to Say:
Andrew looks pretty with his paint makeup. :) I cannot wait to see you guys in less than two weeks. Counting down.
I love the paint job! He looks like he had tons of fun for his birthday.
PS Did you win the scarf on my blog? I know more then one Megan and when I click on the name it says private...
oh wow i can't believe andrew is already three! i remember when he was born when we were all living in PG! :)
I also have an ellipse and all-caps problem. This is why we're friends. As Andrew gets older, I see more of Justin in him. Is that just me? Loved talking with you today!
It looks like he had a pretty good birthday weekend! So yeah that is kind of crazy you told him when he is three he can pour his own syrup. I don't even like Easton pouring his own and he is almost 6. He is sort of messy.
Syrup. Fun.
.....GOOD WORK MEG!!
;)
That is sooooooooo awesome...I think he will be an Elf Lover soon...(actually, he has that memorized, right?). And the painting, oh the painting...I love it!!! You guys really do have the best kids in the word...between their faces, hair, expressions and verbage...they are so awesome. Seriously.
