He's Three?

Well, my Silly Goat turned three today. I can't believe how fast time flies. It doesn't seem like that long ago when we brought him home from the hospital.

Nathan woke up this morning to find his room filled with balloons (an idea I stole shamelessly from my friend Kristen). We had a little ballon fight before breakfast. Then Nathan and Chris stuck all the balloons to the ceiling with a little magic static.

Not too be outdone, Mathew started rubbing toys on his head too. He never did get them to stick to the ceiling!

Gift opening was a little like Christmas. This year the aunts stole the show. Darn those aunts! Aunt Kim got Nathan a game called Hullabaloo. Nathan enjoyed playing this so much he didn't realize that it involved listening and following directions! Aunt Shirley brought a set of Lightning McQueen games and books. We had to endure Lightning McQueen dominoes, Lightning McQueen Bingo, Lightning McQueen Go Fish, Lightning McQueen Checkers... you get the idea.

We were originally going to check out an indoor playground, but had to change plans when Mathew ended up at the doctor's office for an ear infection, and then the hospital for a "quick" stop to draw blood for some allergy testing. This took the entire afternoon. So we had to adjust our plans a little.

We had lunch at Chipotle and dinner at the Tea House, two of Nathan favorites of late. I have no idea how we escaped the Mongolian Barbeque - his usual favorite. After dinner we came home and had cake and several rounds of several Lightning McQueen games.

I made little dinosaurs cakes. The T-rex, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus came out pretty good. The Brontosaurus was pretty ugly.
