Before I tell all about Joshua's birthday playdate with his bestest friends, I must brag on my husband.
We bought Joshua a great big gift that came in a really little box. Great fun for Joshua - BUT lots of work for Daddy!
Joshua's gift before
Joshua's gift in the making
Joshua's gift completed!
Yep! I have truly mellowed with age. We bought Joshua a big, ugly trampoline for his birthday! It does NOT beautify my basement on its own... but filled with laughing kids, it is a thing of beauty! It also will serve the very important purpose of building Joshua's balance, muscular strength and endurance in a VERY fun (not to mention warm, momma does not like to play in the snow) way!
Here are Joshua's BFFs - Tesfa, Drew, Ageze, Ellie, and Abby
We had a lot of fun playing this morning.
It was loud!
There was a lot of running!
There was a lot of laughing!
There was a lot of jumping!
And because it was too cold to play outside... I found a way to play in the "snow" inside...
We covered the table with shaving cream "snow."
You can write your name in it!
You can make "snow piles."
If touching it is yucky, you can use a brush and paint the "snow."
It is very messy!
But the BEST thing to do in any snow is DRIVE A SKIDSTEER and make a BIG PILE!
Joshua's skidsteer got totally buried in the "snow."
Ageze really likes this "snow." It does not even make your fingers cold!
Yep! I have mellowed! This was messy, but it was also the calmest activity all morning! I will absolutely do it again. Shaving cream is easy to scrape off the table and into the garbage can and easily washes out of clothes. It even smells pretty good and my table is spotless after all the soap being scrubbed into it!
Turning 3 is FUN!
***Guess what came in the mail today? Joshua's birth certificate, pretty cool don't you think?
