I Heard Said the Bird

Lewis’ 5th

Lewis insisted, since last spring, that he wanted a plunger birthday party, so we went with it and tried not to cross the line of gross. I think we were successful!

Of course, Grandma Susan made a lovely cake to the specifications of the birthday boy. I made plunger cake pops too.

We played plunger ring toss, plunger limbo, plunger bean bag toss, plunger Simon says, and Toilet Trouble.

Lewis’ best friend moved away over the summer, so he sent a homemade gift! Lewis made his friend a homemade gift last month on his birthday too.

Augustine was very patient as all the fun things were opened but not played with. They’ve had a lot of fun at home together since!

I’m not sure what they were doing, but it was a sweet, cuddly moment with Coco.

The plunger pops were dairy free so Elias and I could partake. Lewis wants to take plunger pops to both schools this week, which means 5 more dozens to make.

We had pancakes and eggs (his favorite) for breakfast this morning. His pancake had a few sprinkles, a candle and powder sugar.

After soccer we stayed at G&G’s for more birthday cake. Grandma Kathleen was able to join us too!

Happy 5th Birthday Lewis! We love you!

Preschool Field Trip

Lewis’ teacher lives on a turkey farm, so we took a field trip to her place!

He spent most of the time following the dog around.

He didn’t want to feed the horses himself, but he really liked watching his friends feed them.

He asked his teacher about 100x “where is your other dog?” and she was insanely patient and answered him sweetly every.single.time. Then it was finally time to switch the dogs. Apparently, they can’t be outside together or they get in trouble.

The teacher had a cute bag for each kiddo to take their produce home. We came home with 16 pieces of produce.

And a treat cup, of course, because his teacher throws an awesome party.

When we got home Lewis spent a lot of time lining up his veggies. Then he cut off all the leaves.

Then he spent time cleaning everything off.

It was a really fun adventure!

The Lewis Way

I don’t even try to make sense of it.

Random Things

When you go to Gianna’s you get a star. When you collect 10 stars you get a free drink! And how about that ^^^?! Full to the brim freeness! Plus, the guy who makes a perfect coconut milk caramel latte was working, so YUM.

We’ve been taking big boy walks (no stroller) and we get as far as one side of the block total. This particular day, there was a neighbor mowing, so we spent a while chatting with him and pointing at the real mower.

This really awesome track is very fun! Augustine got it for his birthday but the adapters for the train track didn’t get put in our order, so they finally came! The configurations are endless.

Elias really likes the new track attachment!

My friend Susie had a big birthday this year, so she threw quite the party! I didn’t have time to dress up, but she totally nailed the 80s style!!! I told her she should do her hair like that every day. So cute!
