Lucas' Birthday

Friday night we went down to Madison. Jaime had to make a lap for a cancer benefit at the high school. We stopped at Taco Bell first, where Lucas attempted to hit on a 3 year-old sitting next to us by shoving his quesadilla in her mouth. Such a ladies man. Then we went over to the track. Lucas and I ran around, blew bubbles, and played in the bouncer. There was a group there that had a little horses on poles the kids could walk around with. Jaime made her lap and chatted for a bit with an old coworker and then we headed home.

Saturday started early as Lucas decided it was wake up time at 6am. We made breakfast, opened a few presents at the house, and got ready for the party at Hanover Park. When we arrived there, however, there was no one there to unlock the doors. Finally, after some phone calls, some one shows up explaining there was some "confusion" with the bookkeeping. It all worked out in the end. We got set up in time before anyone showed up and the kids all had a good time running around in the room. After eating, cake, and presents, the festivities moved outside to the playground. There was fun to be had by all---there was a bouncy teeter totter that I think was more fun for us than the kids. It amazes me to see Lucas grow up (now the big 2 year old that he is!) and go down the big slides by himself among the many other things he is now able to do. Time seems to go by so quickly when they're that young and learning to do so many things. All in all, the party was a success, but it really can't go wrong when there's meatballs and cake in my opinion.
