{Thursday Night 05/26/16} An Art Show, Donut Cake and a Bubble Mower

My baby went and turned two on me today. I can’t believe he is two, I swear he was just born last week.

 This morning Thatcher asked me if he could go get Trever out of his bed when we heard him do his normal morning squeals to let us know he’s awake.  It was so cute when he went in Charlotte was awake too, and the first thing Thatcher and Charlotte both said to him was “Happy Birthday Trever, It’s your birthday today. Are you so happy?” They can be so adorable sometimes.

sibsTrever on the other hand goes from adorable to not so adorable real easily, and just because it was his birthday it didn’t stop him form having some pretty awesome tantrums today. One of which was at dinner, when we were trying to take his shirt off so he wouldn’t ruin it with spaghetti sauce.

The boys dressed up for it (their idea, not mine…color me shocked) and it was really cute.

When we got home I hurried and made Trever’s, super fancy, Donut Cake. (Thatcher was like, “Why does Trever always get a donut cake? Not fair.”) Ha! It has a little something to do with the fact that his birthday is during the crazy end of year, everything is going on time, and mom gets tired and lazy. I just replied, “I would be more than happy to make a donut cake for you on your birthday Thatch.”

Last night I realized (When I was at the grocery store) that I never did pick up a couple toys for him like I had planned to. It was late so I went on a desperate search of the grocery store and found a large green ball and a bubble lawn mower. Turns out he loves that lawn mower more than life itself.

We could not get him to stop mowing tonight and he INSISTED on sleeping with it.

moSuch a cute little two year old.

Love that boy!

Keep it Real!
