Par-tay

At the park! Here's Jackson, in his jammies, because, well, it's easier to get him out of the house if we don't have to dress him. He doesn't like to go outside.We were at Red Kane Park in Arlington. It's a fun park with a pond. And ducks. Oh my God, the ducks! Noah loves, loves, loves duckies. And throwing rocks and sticks in the water. Way fun!
The only problem is, neither boys wants to do anything besides play next to the water. I spent most of the party trying to lure them away back to the group. When they finally came for snacks and cake, I had to keep chasing Jackson as he repeatedly ran back to the shore! I was worn out like you wouldn't believe.
Noah did play on the playground, for a bit.
And then he was willing to have some snackies.
Jackson, though, wouldn't come to the table. Noah felt sorry for him and kept him company.
Birthday boy and cake! Mmm, mutant ninja green frosting...
This is what finally lured Jackson away from the water. A big freakin' rock. And see the man who's such a great influence on his sons.
Well, boys love rocks, I suppose.
Birthday boy and lots of Transformers. He was so proud of them!

That's looks like a very fun birthday party! I can't believe all those Transformers! Now, that's a loot to take home.

I don't know what it is with guys and rocks either. Matt likes to throw them at birds too. They never seem to grow out of it.
