Kyle's day

My Kyle turned 4 today! He had a great birthday--a Wall-E cake, presents, balloons, a party--he couldn't have asked for more!

This morning Kyle and I took a trip to the grocery store so that he could pick out ice cream for his party and goodies for his goody bags. While this sounds like torture to most of you, I guarantee you that Kyle loves nothing more than a trip to the grocery store. I think he looks at it as an opportunity to con me into bringing home all kinds of things I wouldn't normally look at twice in the store. And I totally let him get away with it. Then we came home, ate lunch, and put together goody bags for his party. He had so much fun deciding what goodies to put in the bags and sorting out who would get which bag--he's definitely my son. As a special treat for his birthday he also got to skip 'rest time.' Lucky boy.

Later this afternoon all of our best Newfoundland friends came over to hang out and help Kyle celebrate his birthday. Everyone was entirely impressed by the Wall-E cake. One of my local mom friends made it. Check out her website here: http://www.cakes-by-katherine.blogspot.com/. The kids had a good time coloring pictures of Wall-E, making robots out of marshmallows and pretzel sticks, and just playing in the playroom. After everyone went home Kyle couldn't stand ignoring the pile of presents any longer and had to tear into them. He loved everything!

Overall, it was an awesome day, and I'm pretty sure he went to bed a totally happy little boy tonight--even if he was already talking about what he thinks we should do for his 5th birthday! You can't see it, but I'm rolling my eyes.
