Austin’s third birthday

Sorry it hasn’t taken me a while to write about Saturday’s events. It’s been pretty busy around here. Saturday was of course extremely busy and Sunday is nothing but football. I think I napped. Haha! Today (more like Tuesday morning now) was really busy and I couldn’t even go to class because Kevin wasn’t able to get out of work on time. Luckily I can miss two classes. Ok enough of the excuses: Austin had gone to bed really early Friday night because he was in a ‘mood’. So I put him to bed at 6pm. He decided of course to wake up around 2am. Luckily he was able to stay in our bed and gibber gab for awhile and fall back to sleep. An earthquake happened around 4am and it was a pretty big one too. Nothing damaging but long and shaky. About a 5.4 the news said. So Austin gets up around 9am, I distract him with my iphone (the best invention ever!) and get maybe another 30 mins of sleep and then we are up. I had wrapped his gifts the night before so we all climbed the stairs, he walks right past them to get on the couch. He turns and is like holy cow! A banner is up with Toy story characters and he’s just all excited! He looks at me with those eyes like, can I open them?! I smile and tell him have at it! He starts tearing into them! I can tell Christmas will be a blast after seeing this! So note to family members, WRAP YOUR GIFTS!

After opening his presents up, putting batteries into toys, and cleaning the mess, I make some muffins for breakfast. Austin enjoyed playing with his cool new toys from yours truly, oh and Kevin. So around 1pm, I get ready and set out for the pizzas, the cake (ran out of time, and Kevin got the cake), and go decorate the place we had the party at. We doubled with another mom and her daughter Esa. It was great and perfect for the place! I would not have done it any different. The kids enjoyed playing with the toys, and playground. The adults ate pizza and cake. Austin would not leave the cake until he could have a piece. That is what he’d been asking for for his birthday for the past two weeks and he finally got it! Haha! He did really well and blew out his candles all by himself! He loved every minute of it!

I just want to thank everyone again for the cards and presents and well wishes to Austin on his birthday. That is so kind and generous of yall. Thank you so much!
