Robin's Nest: Mason Turns 2!

Last Saturday, May 21, my youngest of four turned 2. The weather ended up being pretty nice that day so the kids were out playing with neighbor kids most of the morning while Sean started putting together a basketball hoop we had just bought the day before.

We wanted to take all the kids to the Children's Museum, but Madison and Noah had ball practices which took up the majority of the afternoon so we just played a lot at home. Mason had fun pushing Noah in the play car (Noah helped by using his feet).

We headed out to Rosati's for pizza, which didn't work out as nicely as planned. Everyone had been outside most of the day, Mason didn't get a full nap, Summer had no nap and we left to eat a lot later than we normally would, which was probably a recipe for disaster.

Once we got home, we gave Mason his gift. Sean got a little "kid happy" at the store and bought a few extra things, but Mason LOVED the Thomas wooden railway sets he got along with a motorized Thomas.

Madison (and usually Noah, too) is always thinking of her siblings when it's their birthday so she had gotten Mason a Thomas DVD & coloring book along with some Cars balloons.

Since Mason wouldn't stay in one place long enough to take a picture with his loot, Sean posed for me instead :) (Just don't pay attention to the clothes in the background I was sorting through for spring/summer.)

Now time to eat some birthday cake that I didn't make until late afternoon so it wasn't anything impressive. We'll get him a really nice one when we head to Iowa the second weekend in June and can celebrate with more family.
