It's that time of year again!! Yep! Josh's birthday. This year he wanted a Mario birthday party. I really struggled at first. I just didnt know what to do. Then I consulted the internet and found so many good idea. I had a blast planning this one.
He had such a fun day and he was so appreciative. He did think that birthdays should last 1 week long. Every morning for a week he would say "Oh yea mom, it's my birthday. I dont have to do work today!" I love this little boy he is such a fun kid and he always has a hug and a kiss for his mom. I love that! I can't beleive he is 4 and Maryssa is 5. I guess I will have to start lying and saying Maryssa is 6 so I dont feel so crazy.
But a party isnt a party without the cousins. I am so fortunate to live so close to my sisters. It's great that my kids have such a great relationship with their cousins. I hope this remains throughout their lives. They really added to the excitement to they day. They stayed a little longer and had pizza and played with all the new exciting stuff that Josh got. And then Josh had the great idea of.........."Lets have a sleep over. " So Jarom and Damon stayed over. They were so funny and cute, just playin being little boys. It was fun. But Oh no, the fun doesnt stop their. Josh has alot of friends of all ages. He realy loves his older friends and realy wanted them to come to his party but I had to put a limit to it due to the limited space in my house. So I told him he could take 2 friends plus the cousins to the movie . He picked his older friends that are so kind to him. They always include him and make him feel so big. So the next morning we got up had some breakfast and went to Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3D. I didnt even watch the movie I was watching the kids. They all had their big mugs that the neighbor sent with them and popcorn and I cant forget the 3-d glasses. It was quite amusing for me. After the movie Jeff thought we better get them some lunch so we went to Del Taco. We didnt know that it was a grand opening thing going on, so they had face painting and animal balloons. Josh of course thought that was part of the his party. I am such a good mom. We stayed and got our faces painted and balloons and I dont think one kid ate one taco. We had throw most of them away. It was a such a great day! I am so glad that I live by family and great friends.
