birthday boys
birthdays, birthdays...abel and oliver were born two years and one day apart, which makes for quite the festive birthday weekend once that time of year rolls around. i remember coming home from the hospital when they were born thinking that spring has to be the perfect time to have a baby. the jacket goes unused throughout the winter as that little internal heater keeps mom quite comfortable. trees come into bloom and birds can be heard right as the new one makes his debut....
this weekend was busy but fun. we celebrated with a small party for abel using some of ezra jack keat's stories as a theme (this author shares abel's birthday). we read a few stories, blew whistles, drew with sidewalk chalk, played with bubbles, and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon on our front porch. nice. it was a joy to see abel thrilled to be surrounded by good friends all there just for him. presents, a dirt cake with gummy worms (thanks lisa!), and kid snack food galore also helped to make his day special.
aidan wrote out his birthday greetings on his chalkboard. i especially like the added "woot!" and the hieroglyphics at the bottom.
