Invitations

Feb 26...

I have been putting it off and putting it off, but with Cael's birthday coming up in a week, it is finally time to meet the neighbors.

I had only seen glimpses but I knew 2 of the houses across from me have little boys but I couldn't tell how old, and the house directly across from me has 2 kids but they are a little older. If the weather is nice, I am planning on having the majority of the party in the backyard and I know even older kids know how to have fun outside no matter what the circumstances are. So today after his nap Cael and I made some quick birthday party invitations and walked across the street to finally introduce ourselves.

The meet and greet went much better than I planned, (although the 6 year old directly across from us wasted no time in inviting the entire neighborhood!) all 3 families said they would love to come! We may have ourselves a party after all. I have a few other friends I have made that will be coming, but all our kids added up only came to 3 babies and 1 little boy other than Cael. Not that Cael would have minded, but I want him to be able to run around and play and know that he is the prince of the day! So, now I know some of my neighbors and they know me and I think next Friday is going to be a lot of fun!

This picture cracks me up because if you know Cael, you know how little emotion he shows when he is concentrating! He was definitely having fun painting the invitations (and the mat underneath them) but you wouldn't be able to tell that by looking at his face! He is such a thinker and he takes everything in before letting you know how he feels about it. Derrick and I took him to a theme park last summer and every ride we went on...he kept a straight face. I honestly have no idea, to this day, if he likes rides or not. He is just that kind of boy, he has to take it in first...he will let you know later. I love that about him, he is a very smart little cookie if you ask me.
