We did have other things going on this weekend besides our awesome birthday party . . . lots of fun playing and visitors from Arkansas. Bubbles and Minnie came on Friday afternoon, and the boys were so excited. They made Bubbles work on his balloon animal making skills, and he's getting better. (I still am not sure why I bought them the balloon animal set for Christmas because it's definitely a toy that requires adult participation.) Beau was proud of his rabbit! Lincoln asked for a snake, bee, and dog.
Bubbles is always game for any activity, and the boys loved him being a horsey. Minnie shouted for me to capture this silly moment, and I love Beau's face!! While Bubbles and Lincoln tend to stick together, Beau and Minnie usually find their own stuff to do.
Sarah and Cheryl came to help celebrate the birthday weekend too, but I didn't manage to take any pictures with them. Maybe Sarah will send me some! The boys had so much fun playing with the birthday gifts they received. The dress up costumes from the Robison's were great! They took their jobs seriously and kept our house super safe! We went to Mia's for dinner for the best brisket tacos in town so fireman and policeman had to take a break from their duties. Saturday was Minnie's birthday, and Bubbles birthday is next Saturday. So we honored them with a special delicious birthday dinner!
Lincoln's Sunday School lesson was the Lord's Supper, and that seemed like a very important lesson. Was this Mommy really qualified to teach the 4 year olds about this special event? We loaded up with craft supplies, grape juice, and a loaf of artisan bread and gave it our best! The kids did pay attention to the story, and they had fun saying "Drink this in rememberance of me" and "Eat this in rememberance of me." We had a bit of leftover grape juice at home, and Lincoln told Beau that "you have to think about Jesus when you have grape juice." So perhaps some of my lesson stuck!!! Minnie and Bubbles offered to keep the boys after church so we could have a brunch date, and it was lovely! We sat at the first two available seats at the bar (at Cindi's), and one of my Sunday School boys was sitting next to us with his Dad. Great to chat with them! Lincoln's spring T-Ball team had their first practice in the afternoon, and it began to warm up after a chilly start to the day. The boys on our team will all go to Bowie Elementary, but most not until 2015. And this is a team made of mostly first timers, so just Lincoln and a couple other boys played in the fall. I'm not sure if they are expecting baseball excellence since Linc was in Fall T-Ball, but they might not need to expect such things. Enthusiastic he is, but sometimes the excitement takes over the execution!!! Daddy has been working with him on some control and focus points. Two of the boys are in our Sunday School class, so they are familiar faces for Linc. The coach is excellent and very excited and leads a very well organized practice. The boys had fun getting to know each other and there were lots of chants of "White Sox! White Sox! White Sox!" We are glad that we aren't cheering for the Yankees this season!
It was a really great weekend with lots of birthday fun and lots of non-birthday fun playing with our Arkansas visitors and our church and T-Ball friends. Life is busy and full of excitement for Lincoln and Beau. It seems that each day brings new adventures and experiences, and they really live it to the fullest. I'm glad to be along for the ride with them!
