putting the 'art' in party!

this year we hosted our first joint birthday party.  

hendrix turned 5.  

blaire turned 3.  

they have an overlap of joint friends and their big days are just a month apart.  

so......

we found a theme they could both get behind - painting!  

with bold colors, paint pallets, and rainbow treats - the whole event was full of splatters and creativity.

wordless wednesday {first day of preschool}

sent him off on his first day.  

he had a blast.

thankfully, he is a chatty fellow, and filled me in on every last detail on the van ride home.

i just love him.

this is going to be a fun school year!

three. years. old.

tomorrow is my baby boy's birthday. 

he turns three. 

does this mean that i need to stop referring to him as my baby boy?

we had a really fun birthday party for him over the weekend, and i actually took my camera this time, so there will be plenty of photos to follow of the fun...

for now, i just wanted to leave a little progression post.

first birthday

second birthday

this is hendrix with his favorite gal pal flora over the years in our annual birthday party pose.  won't be long before these kids will be too big for us to be holding in the shot!

happy birthday dear boy.  

you mean the world to me.
