Our Busy Weekend

We had a busy weekend! Joshua went to his first non-family birthday party! At first, he didn't know what to think. There was so much to do that I think he got a little overwhelmed. When his friend, Andrew showed up, he got a little more comfortable and ventured away from our side. It was so cute because when Joshua showed up, Anna(the birthday girl) came up and said, "It's Joshua!" and gave him a big hug. It was adorable! They had a curious George pinata and the kids loved taking turns hitting it. Eventually, Anna's mom had to rip the pinata open for the candy to fall out! George is one tough monkey(ha!). While Joshua was there, I think he found a new love...the trampoline. It was a small one that had a bar to hold on to, kind of like an exercise one, but for kids. He jumped and jumped on that trampoline. The picture, right below is him trying to hit the pinata! He hit it pretty much every time! He didn't really care about the candy; he just wanted a chance to swing the bat! (Future baseball player, perhaps?)

Tired party goer! He took a long 3 hr nap and would have kept on sleeping if we didn't wake him up! He was recharged and ready to go, because we had my brother and sister in law over with the girls to watch a movie and play the game CLUE! It was fun and Joshua loved running around and playing with his cousins!

On Sunday, we thought we would have a lazy day at home, but around 12:30 my brother called and invited us to go to the park with them and another family. It was a beautiful day, so we thought why not. We loaded up the cooler with drinks and snacks and headed to the park. Joshua usually takes a nap around 1:00 or 1:30, so he was in a mood, but once we got to the park and he saw his cousins, he was ready to go. The boy played and played and played! He took alot of breaks, because he was so tired, but would not sit down for long. We left about 5 that evening. Yes, we were there for about 4 hrs, but it was a beautiful day and we would have been doing the same thing at home. We had a busy, but great weekend!


The park makes him happy
