This Boy is almost 4!

Another year has passed which means Aidan is another year older. He will be 4 y/o come December 15th. I know I say this all the time but time really flies!

We had his birthday party on December 4th. A little early but this time of year is always busy with holiday events and planning. Thought it best to celebrate a little earlier was safe. We rented a play gym area with bouncy castle, bikes, crafts and face painting. We rented the same place last year too. We had about 15 kids coming the gym was perfect!

Aidan picked the "happy faces" theme this year so I ran with the idea.

Happy face Cupcakes







Goodie bags! Inside: happy face ballon, lollipop, helicopter toy, happy stickers and play dough.




Having fun!







It was a good day. All the kids had a blast. Most importantly Aidan told me he had "sooooo much fun".

This face painting pic wasn't taken at his birthday party but taken the week before at a different party and i had to share. Apparently he's a spider. I thought he was a hairy vampire. Haa haaa!

Helping out

Aidan has sure become quite a handyman around the house lately. He's been gladly helping with chores. I'm going to enjoy this while it last because I've heard it doesn't last. Haa haa.

A lawn mower was a little too dangerous for a 3 year old so he decided to trim the lawn with his craft scissors.







Mr Fixer-upper with "Phil" the drill.



Apron on and washing the dishes. Well... It's more like him playing with the soap suds and plastic cups. But I think this is a good start!

Dirt & Spectacles

I took a risk and ordered a pair of specs online. It was a deal I couldn't pass up. Guess frames
for $30!!!



Glasses on me. Of course the the frames still need corrective lenses and it needs to be adjusted for my face. But I think they fit me pretty well otherwise.




It recently dawned on me that I only have one pair of glasses which I wear every day. If these break on me I am in trouble. I have no back up glasses and my eye sight is so bad that I would not be able to just "get by" without them. So my bright idea is to get a new pair of glasses and retire my current ones as my back up glasses.

Had fun day in outside and playing in the dirt. Kids will be kids and playing in the dirt is always a fun activity.








Fun day of baking too. Made some dairy-free brownies. Turned out pretty yummy. Someone sure liked licking the spatula
