Celebrate: Corban Turns 3!

Our handsome little guy turned 3 on October 22 and since he likes dirt, destruction and trucks we went with a dump truck/construction theme.  The party was held on the 20th at a local church's playground.  I didn't plan any activities because the play area was so nice and it's hard to corral a bunch of 2-3 year olds in an organized manner when there are swings, slides, etc.  So, we played, colored and ate lunch.  It was a nice October morning and we are thankful for his friends.  I love Corban immensely and his happiness and sweetness fill me with warm fuzzies. 

 I asked a civil engineer at work if I could have some old drawings with roads, sewers, etc. for the the kids to color.  We used them as the tablecloths and for entertainment.  Kids really like big paper.  Oh, and check out my little lefty!

 Corban had been asking for pizza every night for dinner the week leading up to his party so we did that for the food.  It was certainly easier on me than trying to prepare a lot.

 I did a dirt cake (chocolate pudding/cool whip/oreos) instead of the usual and it was a big hit.  We may or may not have had a kid licking the pan when it was empty.

 In lieu of presents we asked friends to bring new or gently used coats to help keep some less fortunate kiddos warm this fall/winter.
