Da Beans: Grayson's 3rd Birthday (Part 2)

Mommy had to work on Grayson's actual birthday, so we celebrated a day early! Mommy racked her brain trying to come up grandiose ideas of what to do for the day with her big boy. Grayson is not quite as agreeable as Avery is. But here is what we both agreed on:

Eating a donut at Wegman's

Sitting at the airport, patiently waiting for a plane to go by. After 45 minutes, we finally saw ONE tiny plane take off!

He loved sitting in the front seat and putting his head out the sunroof.

Then, we went to the fish hatchery to feed some fish.

We had plans for movies and the park, but the battle through a long lunch out made me change my mind. This boy cannot be contained to a seat for any amount of time...even when the bribe of post-meal ice cream is in the cards. We went home instead, popped in a movie and waited for Daddy to come home from work to finish celebrating.

He opened his gifts from us...which included a new bike helmet, decals for his bedroom, an alarm clock, journal, socks, coloring books and bubbles. But the most exciting gift of all....a NERF GUN!!

Daddy had been waiting for this day for SOOO long.

Here he is teaching Grayson the wonders of the Nerf!

And then lots of shooting ensued!

Cake followed (lame leftovers from the airplane cake that Mommy refrosted to look like a new cake!)

Bike riding (to test out the new helmet)

And bubbles (the cheapest gift and probably the most loved!)

This boy challenges us in so many ways, yet is rewarding in so many other ways! He is sweet, stubborn, snuggly, mischievous, adorable, manipulative, and smart all wrapped up into one lovable little boy. Life has definitely not been the same since August 14, 2011 when he entered this world and we love him dearly!
