He's 3 !!!

Our baby James turned 3 on Friday!!! 
It was a very Fun Filled Friday:

7:00 am- everyone is awake (B went in early to work so we postponed presents.) 
       ~ Jane made 'gluten free' cupcakes:
8:00 am- pancakes, oranges, and sausage for breakfast
9:00 am- exercise at gym- the child care there sang happy birthday to him and he got a present from his little friend Megan.
10:00 am- Party with friends at Chuck E Cheese.  James has actually never been there, but everytime we drive by he tells me that he wants to go there with his friends.




(Here are cute friends who came- I'm missing one of Henry


 11:30 am- SUPER fun party with friends is over and he throws a major fit about leaving (he was just going the whole time and didn't stop to even open presents- thanks Jamie for carrying them to the car :) 

12:00 - Lunch
1:00 pm- Play with his favorite dog- "Friday" 
and Marina & Natalie too
2:30 pm- Pick up kids at school, play on the playground (the weather was beautiful.)
4:00 pm- Great Pumpkin Farm
5:30 pm - Dinner (enchiladas, corn, & chips.) 
6:30 pm- Bed- he was SOOOOOOO very tired, the most I have ever seen him
B took the other kids to the ice cream social at school .

We opened presents the next morning.  This guy is feeling the present love!
Thank you Grandma & Grandpa Damstedt for the awesome outfit and Lincoln Logs!
Thank you Grandma & Grandpa Miller for the Knight costume and all of the fun airplane things!

 
                      HE LOVES to build this one.
 We also had "Cake" doughnuts:
 
        (my mom sent me the totally cute airplane candles)

And he spent the rest of the day playing with all his new toys and his cars:
 Happy Happy Happy Birthday James!!

Picture Day and Other Things This Week....

* Just so I have it in our Family Book- yesterday was 10-11-12 pretty cool huh! 

Today was picture day at school. 
This is what they looked like when they left this morning, we'll see how the pictures turn out. 
 

 
 

On Monday we had the day off of school so I took all the kids with me to my gym and they did a "Fit Kids" class while I ran- it felt great. We came home for lunch and then went on a tour of a local chocolate factory:
 We went out for dinner and at the place we saw deer- Jane took lots of pictures :)
   Here's one of James and Jane- I think they look a lot alike:

Kate made her bed all by herself:
  
 I did and put away the laundry all by myself :) I like seeing my laundry room like this.
