Remember that time when I
said we weren’t going to Disney this weekend? Too much to do, I said. I lied.
That being said, I think this
might have been my favorite trip to a non-water park in a really long time. We
headed to Magic Kingdom, which I was afraid would be packed to the gills with
last-hurrahers before school started this week but it was only medium busy. We
got all of our birthday prep done in the morning and headed out to get there
about 2pm. We rode a lot of rides and didn’t bring any meals (when we do eat
there, we eat at Pecos Bill’s, which is pretty tasty and relatively inexpensive
for Disney. $35 for all of us). We left at 9:30 when both kids were beyond
spent and exhausted. Perfect.
Sunday the boy turned three.
THREE! How does that even happen? He got everything he wanted within reason. He
asked for banana nut muffins for breakfast and he got them.
He wanted to play in the pool
most of the day, and he got that (his
brother wanted too, and he got that also).
He wanted blue minion
cupcakes, and he got that (actually he had no idea and didn’t care, but they
were damn cute).
We had a small family pool
party at my in-laws’ house, which turned out to be absolutely perfect and laid
back. I made hummus and the cupcakes but otherwise everything was store bought
and the spread was laid out and easy and decorated with minions.
And now my baby is THREE. Oh,
the horror. Actually, I think it’s pretty great.

I love you for having a store bought spread and a laid back, non-pinteresty party. I thought I was the only one who still did it up old school. The cupcakes are ADORABLE, as are your boys!
Ha! You should have seen Spencer's birthday, where we did a Saturday morning playground party and Panera and Sam's Club catered - it was a big hit! :) I love the pictures of all those pretty parties, but I much prefer to enjoy ourselves over stressing. The kids don't care! Friends? Presents? Sweets? We're good!
