September 2011

WOW, I'm far behind!  Catch up time . . .

My birthday was on the 12th and I turned 29.  It's the first birthday that has really bothered me.  I'm not too crazy about turning 30 next year!  I just keep reminding myself that Beyonce is 30, so it can't be that bad . . .

I got some new PJs, an i-Tunes card, shopping money (which I hastily blew through) and these shoes I LOVE:

John and I got to see Captain America and I loved it!

The 18th was Charlie's 4th birthday!  For his actual birthday, John and I got him a Happy Meal for lunch (his favorite) and took him to the Pumpkin Patch playground (his other favorite).

Epic cupcake FAIL.  I decorated them and came out so ugly!  I think I'll just leave the cake decorating to my mom from now on . . .
 

White hair at four?!  He lives a rough life, I guess . . . (yes, that's sarcasm you smell)

 Church outfit on his actual birthday . . . I love this cardigan!  And yes, he insisted on this pose and face for the picture.  You can probably hear my eyes rolling from here.

Charlie as the "Green Lamb-turd" (as he puts it!)

Charlie got tons of well, everything, but it seemed like superhero gear was the theme of his #4 b-day.

Charlie as Spiderman

 This is his Halloween costume.  He loves it but was initially annoyed that it was just a hoodie and not a full mask.  He told me for Christmas that he wants a "full Spiderman mask with NO hood!"

Charlie as generic superhero . . . but cool anyway

The 24th was my dad's birthday.  He surprised everyone by giving the grandkids presents!  They are so, irredeemably spoiled.

My dad picked out a huge, obnoxiously loud firetruck for Charlie.  Needless to say, it was the perfect gift for Charlie.  He LOVES it.

"Papa" and all the grandkids getting ready to blow out 63 candles!
