And where is the birthday cake? Haven't got to that yet. Or ever. Really, we pulled into the garage at 10:00 the night before and I realized that I had one present and no wrapping paper. Oops.
So I pulled a Dona. I woke up early bought four thousand balloons, wrapping paper, tissue paper, last minute lame gifts, and strawberries and whipped cream (for pancakes). Got home and made a huge sign, hung streamers from the ceiling, tied balloons everywhere, and flipped a few pancakes. All before cj woke up. Awesome, right? When cj rolled out of bed and saw it all, he crumpled into a heap on the floor and started crying. A little much, I guess. Should've listened to Christian.
And he was too excited to play with the present his friend gave him the day before to a) open his presents from us or b) eat any made-from-scratch pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream that I slaved over. Oh well, Christian and I had an awesome breakfast.
What else? That night we were too busy for birthday cake--mostly because we decided to go to a movie twenty minutes after it started. And then eat at the "purple grape restaurant" (Olive Garden) where cj stared open-mouthed at the people sitting behind us the whole time (they loved that, I'm sure). And then we had to put the boys to bed before 7. So no time for cake. Isn't it great being 3?
Oh, cj's favorite part of the day? The thirty minutes we spent bundled up at the park, shown in the picture. Not sure why he's raising his arm. For some reason, he thinks that's an integral part of picture taking. Proof:
And about 300 more pictures just like this on my phone if you're interested. You are, right?
Right?

love the arm in the air. he really does have the best hair. i'm jealous.
That's hilarious. And strange. And I will hold out for him if he keeps that awesome head of hair. It is a thing rarely see in the circles I run in.
He's just like you, funny and weird. Oh I miss that little man. And way to go on the b-day. I've never given/been given that great of a party! Ella had to wear a plastic bag as a shirt cover at her 10-min, white-trash birthday. Enough said.
Happy Birthday Ceej...wish we could celebrate with you. Should next week? You have the cutest kiddos
That is so funny! I seriously can't stop laughing about the arm in the air, I can only hope my child does amusing things like that to entertain me, or else I might have to come and hang out at your place! Your boys are darling!
LOOOOOOOOVE that kid!
That hair really is amazingly awesome. I am ready for the rest of the 300 pictures with his had in the air! Can't wait to see what Soren's crazy quirks are... and number 3's too... got a name yet btw?
That's the funniest thing ever.
"Hey CJ, which way is heaven?"
Happy Birthday Ceej. I had no idea I was supposed to raise my arm for every single photo.
Won't that be hilarious if he never grows outta that.
I'm with Ceej, birthday's are way overrated.
Yes, picturing his wedding photos with his arm raised. Hopefully his wife will humor him?
