Even with a temperature of 101, this kid had a great attitude and a happy birthday! We went to the pet store in the morning to pick out our first pet -- a blue betta fish. The kids are loving having a pet fish, and Bria claims she's ready for a cat now (we'll see what Mike has to say about that!). We had a basketball theme since Isaac LOVES basketball. It was a riot! We played balloon basketball and some other simple games that were in line with a 2-year-old attention span. It was pretty funny trying to play a little balloon baseball, though, since the kids really weren't grasping the "bases" idea. They basically were running wherever they wanted to run...but it made it even more fun, really.
We had pizza and "basketballs"(oranges) for dinner, then a basketball cake. But Isaac was wiped out by 7pm, so we had to work fast to get him to open a couple presents before he passed out. Overall, it was a wonderful day! Grandma and Grandpa Omer sent a really neat turtle puppet, and Grandma and Grandpa Dean helped buy the fish and fishbowl and sent a card. Daddy bought him a little Lightning McQueen desk, and Bria gave him a bunch of construction paper. Overall, it was a really fun and special day. We sure love our spunky lil' Isaac!
Happy Birthday Isaac! Sounds like a fun theme too! Nice job Mom! We're excited and grateful he is willing to share his day with his cousin Joey!
ReplyDeleteI swear we were just prego with these 2 year olds! I can't imagine life without them. What a fun b-day party. You are a fun little mama! Love ya, mel. miss you too!
ReplyDeleteOh I miss my little Isaac. I really do love him. I am sad that I missed his bday but I am glad that I got to see him the week before. I am still planning on St. G in Feb- the weather has made me so depressed I don't think anything could keep me away! Keep in toch!
ReplyDeleteI love doing activities with kids where there are supposed to be rules and structure, but the rules just kind of become whatever is fun for them at the time. I love it. Kids are hilarious.
