fishies are gold, water is blue,
conway wants to party with you!
in the pool we'll swim like fishes,
and fulfill all conway's
birthday wishes!
the birthday boy picked toast and hot cocoa for breakfast! and got to use the "special red plate and cup!"
mc donald's was what he chose for lunch! we picked it up on the way to val vista lakes, and ate before all the party people arrived. conway has had his first, second and third birthday's all at vvl. my kids refer to vvl as conway's birthday place. the kids swam from 1pm-5pm. they did not want to leave. it was a great day for swimming. we had fish food for snacks (gummy worms and goldfish crackers) and capri suns to drink.
it is so hard for me to get mad at this guy. isn't he the cutest little thing. cons is so soft spoken, he doesn't ever stop talking, but he has this soft little voice. he is our little athlete. he is very protective of both his big and little sister. he looks up to and adores his big brother, and is his dad's shaddow. he is the night owl of the family, which of course leads to sleeping in till lunch time. he loves basketball, you would die if you saw him dribble. he loves riding his bike and doing anything outside. he hardly watches any tv, i don't think he's sat for one entire 30 min. show, unless he's strapped in his car seat. he is a big eater, and loves gum. he has the brownest skin...all year long. and these big hazel-ish eyes and long lashes, and when they are filled with tears, my heart literally breaks. he is a tough little thing, but has a way with softening every ones heart. i lovemy little cons and wish him the happiest 3rd birthday ever!
it was super nice in the water, but too hot for cupcakes. i had froze them the night before, hoping it'd keep them cool enough. they were thawed out by the time we even got to the pool. the frosting was melted and the fish kept sliding off. the birthday candles even melted it was so hot. we sang and he blew out what was left of them. we found tilley in the corner, eating the extra cupcakes. she knew she was busted when we found her.
he opened lots of good presents. he was really excited when he got to one of my presents that had a tag on it that matched the party favors-more excited about the tag than the gift. it was really funny.
after the party, we took the long drive over to sprinkles. we figured the kids would get a good nap on the way over....ya right. cons got a special birthday cupcake, and loved it. note:this was my first encounter with the red velvet cupcake. i truly thought i could eat 6. and am very grateful that it is 20+ miles away from home.
after sprinkles it was time for a luau at the clouse's for a birthday/graduation party. more yummy food, and dancing. another chance for the kids to run out any last bit of energy they might have. for the finale they had a fire dancer-which cons did not like at all. he was in my lap the entire time. i love him so much!
