Today was Alex's, or Dr. Alexander, or "The Flash's" 3rd Birthday! Alex goes by several names, and really you never know "who" is going to show up in the moment. He had a wonderful birthday and said his favorite part of the day was "having my friends come play."
Preschool ended last week, so I decided to have a very small get-together with a few of his preschool friends. They came over to play and have lunch today. On a normal summer day here, the kids would have played outside on our swingset, BUT we had our lovely tropical storm blowing through, or I guess by now, a tropical depression, so we had rain, rain, rain (about three inches total they say).
Our party-goers didn't seem to mind, but my playroom did :) The kids had a balst.
The dining room is all ready for the "Cars" birthday lunch bash.
The Birthday Boy, complete with the same birthday shirt Luke wore LAST year. Alex has almost caught Luke in clothing. The hat is from his preschool teacher, Ms. Amanda. All the preschoolers received birthday hats on their birthdays. Well, last week, on the last day of preschool, Ms. Amanda had the hats all ready for all the summer birthday babies. Alex was so excited to FINALLY get his birthday hat. It's a miracle, and a testament to how much he likes it, that it survived until today.
Lunch, sub sandwiches, pasta salad, Cheetos, and fruit...all of Alex's, I mean Flash's, lunchtime favorites.
We had two moms cancel, but with the rainy weather, the small group was perfect.
Sure, let's put swords down our shirts...
Luke really enjoyed the party. There was one other boy his age (there were supposed to have been five five-year-olds), and they had a blast with the Nerf guns.
Waiting for his cake...
Alex LOVED his cake.
Adeline and Becca...Becca is one of our neighbors, and ironically, we knew them last time we lived here (went to church together). Another random tidbit is that Becca's dad and Edward happen to be in the same unit.
This is Alex's favorite friend, Adeline. He talks about her ALL the time, and apparently at preschool, they are quite the pair. He could not wait for her to come to the party. Luckily, he'll see here again soon, as her birthday is next week.
A big bucket of bugs
The older boys having a blast,but notice Flash was at the party the whole time.
Thanks for coming to Alex's party...he was one VERY happy little boy.
