There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

birthday party prep

Today is the day before we celebrate Maddox's #2 birthday!!!
He got his teepee in the mail and we couldn't help but put it together RIGHT THEN.
What Maddox loves most about it is when Andrew hides in it, growls and chases him around the house....

He screams "MORE TENT!"
Maddox got another pre-birthday treat: cupcakes! Why eat them tomorrow when you can start today...right?? He wanted one, it's his birthday weekend and so...he got one (or two...or three). He also informed us tonight after eaing a big bowl of alfredo that he wanted a "tato" (aka taco) from "Tato Bell." He got that, too. So, what's left for tomorrow?
Some small presents...
...and, as Maddox will quickly tell you when you ask him what he wants for his birthday: "BEEEEACH! Moes!"
Birthdays are so much fun.
Tonight after he slipped off to dreamland Andrew and I started prepping for the big day.

Andrew was on balloon duty. He blew up a whole bag of balloons without passing out!

Look at that belly (!!) but hey, it could be worse!

This is what happens when you get Dollar Tree balloons...you never  know what size you might end up with!
We're filling his rooms with balloons tonight. I can't wait to see his face in the morning.
Happy EARLY birthday to my sweet sweet little boy.

edit: here is the finished product with the balloons. Luckily my camera's flash didn't wake him up!
