It was a beautiful day yesterday so I decided to take Jake and Jonas to the “fire truck park”. We had a picnic lunch and Jake spent a good hour exploring all the equipment. It has been a rough winter for him not getting out to play.  We had a wonderful day together and were grateful for the pleasant break in  the winter season. There was a photographer from the local paper at the park and she got a few pictures of the kids playing.  She got a great shot of Jake, but I regretfully had to be in the background. (This sadly isn’t the first time I had a terrible picture in the paper  ..There’s the infamous waiting in line for fish dinner image ) I’ll be sure to take the boys back to this park in the spring. I also hear there are blueberry patches for the community to pick from in the woods surrounding the park’s lake.

The Big Event:

Merry Christmas Santa Claus!

My son Jake is obsessed with Bob the Builder. So for his 3rd Birthday Party I could think of nothing better than to have a construction party 🙂

We did fun activities like have the kiddos create and decorate their toolboxes and construction hats.

Because the kids were so young we set up little centers.

We did:

1. Construction relay on little toy vehicles for a construction lollipop at the end
2. Dig for the Pig (We got little construction pigs, and hid them in the sandbox) The kids dug until the found one for their tool box.
3. Pin the construction cone on the map game.

For Jake’s first non family party, we had a great time!! Our little boy is getting so big.
