I get so excited about Halloween that I really blow it in terms of reporting about other important events, such as...Anders birthday. He lived to see three! I promise that we are not planning to hurt him, it's just that he has actually survived all of the high adrenaline activities that he participates in. The newest is couch jumping. It starts with Anders climbing on to the back of the couch, then aiming for the mini trampoline, he jumps as high and as hard as he can. Most of the time he makes it, other times he misses. Most of the time it's pretty stinkin' hilarious. The other activity, is hill surfing, on the little muffin man car. He has not learned to stand up to surf yet. (Thank goodness!) He wears out a pair of shoes a month doing this little activity. He rides his bike to the top of any old hill, then turns around and goes down as fast as he can push himself. He uses the tops of his shoes as brakes. Most of the time, there are no cars coming, but I do stand at the bottom of the hill as a traffic break/"car coming" warn-er. No major accidents...YET. Just the shoes...
ANYWAY... we celebrated Anders birthday on the 23rd, the actual day! He took "happy cake" to his class and wore the Birthday Hat for all of 30 seconds, and sang the "Happy Birthday" song for the rest of the day. We got him a Lego Thomas the Train set, which he went nuts over. (somehow, he knew what it was before he opened it...we have a mole.) We spent the evening playing at Chuck E. Cheese's spending "money". The boys kept yelling "MORE MONEY!! MORE MONEY!!" Brian and I spend our time there chasing one kid or the other, and waving at each other from across the room. But, the kids are completely occupied for two whole hours and we only spend around 20 bucks. Totally worth it. We got home, and had more "Happy Cake" (a hostess cupcake, because I wasn't going to spend another 10 bucks on a second cake.) and even more singing. We built the Legos and then went to bed. All in all a pretty good day! We are so lucky to have him in our family.

Glad to see you got your blog finished :) Very impressive shoe ruining skills and very cute pictures!
That's why I say....shop the VILLAGE! He could wear out a pair of shoes from there and it would cost you no more than $4. Be a smart mom....shop the village. Okay that totally just sounded like an ad.
Anyways Anders was cute opening his gift. I can't wait till Kayla's birthday.
Happy, Happy to Anders! I totally meant to call you (him) that day. I am a terrible Aunt- just can't seem to get anything done these days! Glad to see someone else taking up stock in Thomas the Train! Miss you guys!
