Party Time-Club on Friday, Beau's Birthday on Saturday

We hit up the early St. Patrick's Day Party at the club on Friday night.  The boys loved making s'mores by the fire.  Well, Beau love holding his marshmallow near the fire, and Lincoln loved scorching his marshmallow to make a giant flame.  They only ate the Hershey's part of the s'mores!
The boys watched a movie in the playroom after baths, and Minnie and Bubble stopped by when they got into town around 10:00.  We spent at least an hour having a late fun night!  The boys immediately needed to climb on Bubbles. 
Beau turned 4 on Saturday, and we were hugging at his birth time just after 9:30!!!  Lincoln gave him the sweetest hug!!!  We waited on the bounce house delivery man in our pjs because that seems to be a tradition! 
We have had tons of rain lately, and Bubbles suggested a tarp to put under the entrance to the bounce house so the kids feet wouldn't get muddy climbing in and out.  It turned out that the short kids tables we rented got delivered as tall tables, so the tarp Bubbles suggested became our picnic spot!  Beau was posing with a big "cheese" before the party started.  His little lip was healing so well from his fall and ER visit on Thursday! 
Nana and Mommy coordinated on the dinosaur theme, and Nana made the cutest outdoor décor. 
The dinosaurs were so special to Beau, and Nana did an amazing job as usual!!!   
Our guests arrived and loved the bounce house.  It had a basketball goal inside, so they were playing some weird version of bounce-keep away-basketball, and they had so much fun!!!!  We didn't over-invite, and all the kids were used to playing together.  It was a fun group. 
After lots of jumping, it was time for lunch.  Beau had requested flowers, dinosaur plates, fruit, Chick-fil-A nuggets, and old-old Campisi's pizza.  (The old-old Campisi's that he speaks of is the one on Mockingbird that the killer of Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, hung out at.  Daddy took the boys there a couple of times, and Beau thinks it way better than the Campisi's in our neighborhood.) Beau planned a great lunch. 
We were ready for cupcakes with dinosaur rings as decorations after lunch, and we had plenty of dinosaur juice boxes and little waters.   
The kids didn't even know about the wrong sized tables or make-shift tarp; they used the chair seats as their table and ate on their knees.  The Kuhlmans and Saugiers were chowing down!!!  Lincoln and Canon are Kindergarten besties, and Beau and Case are set to be together in 2016 so it's great that they already like each other! 
After lunch, we gave Beau a cupcake and sang Happy Birthday!!  Mommy delivered cupcakes to the kiddos, and they were super yummy.  Nick and Charlie were first up for cupcake delivery! 
Everyone ate their cupcakes happily and went back to playing in the bounce house.  Beau ate the icing off his first cupcake . . . then he ate the icing off his second cupcake . . . then he asked for a third cupcake . . . Mommy wasn't sure until Beau insisted that he wanted to eat the entire cupcake this time . . . and he sat there by himself and ate the whole thing with the biggest smile on his face.  Only on your birthday!!! 
Beau played with his friends for a while then decided to have another chicken snack on the ladder . . . again, only on your birthday!  He was so content to snack and watch everyone have a great time.  Such a sweetie! 
We came inside to open presents, and the kids were happy to watch (and help) Beau.  It was calm yet chaotic, but totally fun.  Beau got tons of great gifts! 
Beau's gift from Mom and Dad was a 4 year old bike with training wheels, and he loved it.  He has to get over his aversion to pedaling his tricycle, so a big bike was in order.  He is excited about his big kid bike and riding with Lincoln!
Beau loved his birthday party, and he was so happy to enjoy watching everyone have fun with what he had planned.  Such a sweet little 4 year old, and he deserved a great party.  Happy Birthday, Beau!
