When you're about to turn two years old, you don't understand the difference between June 26th and July 9th, so its okay to celebrate your birthday a couple weeks early as Catcher did this past weekend in Milwaukee. Amongst dinner with the great-grandma, a day trip to Chicago to visit my friend and her new baby, a Tom Petty concert and a high school reunion, we were able to squeeze in a quickie birthday party for Catcher...phew!
Three cousins plus two next door neighbors mixed in with a little cake and ice cream and a fancy sprinkler in my mother-in-law's front yard equalled an hour-and-a-half of pure birthday bliss. The weather was beautiful; the kids had a blast; the parents didn't lose their minds (note to future self: keep birthday parties short and simple). Although I don't have any themed bits of birthday craftiness to share, here are some pictures from the impromptu yard party:
The shark on the bottom of his trunks may be fierce, but Catcher's not sure if he's ready to take the plunge.
Then again, the water does look fun...
A helping hand from Dad moves the action along.
The attention span of a two year-old means the fun is over almost as soon as it began.
Cut to the cake...
Yum!
