Monday: the big day

Joshua has been so excited for his birthday party.  So excited.  We finished hanging the decorations this afternoon and I'm pretty sure the rest of the afternoon dragged for him as I was doing the last minute preparations.

He choose a meal of chicken nuggets (I picked dino-nuggets), carrots, strawberries, and blueberries.  And, of course, cake and ice cream.  Ben also picked up some potato wedges and mac and cheese to round it out.  He was excited that Scarlet was going to be there and was pretty sure that she would love the chicken nuggets too.

Presents!  He got two new Duplo sets.  While Joshua is easily doing Legos, he still uses Duplos all the time.  These sets were chosen with care to have some interesting pieces.  One has a shooter and the other has slides and spinning gears.





Did I mention he was excited about his cake?




Isaac was pretty excited about the two Duplo sets too, and so they put them together together.  Joshua also showed his cousins his Police Lego set.  He finished it yesterday, and did a ton of it by himself.  I think his biggest problem was that he sometimes missed a few pages, so Ben and I had to go back through the police station a few times and fix something.  He did a great job doing it mostly on his own though!
