Jack's 3rd Birthday!

Look who is THREE! Jack had a great day and loved telling everyone he saw, whether he knew them or not, that it was his "birfday" and that he was "free years old...almost 5 like my brother, Hudson!". 

Nana gave him a belt holder for the plastic toy kitchen knife he has been obsessed with for weeks now, along with his "magic wand" which is a part from his bicycle. He immediately put it on and ran around like Captain Hook.

Nana made him a Madagascar cake, at his request. 

He loved his Jake and the Neverland Pirate toys Hudson picked out for him. Hudson worked extra hard shopping all morning while he was out of school including about 3 Targets to find all of the toys in the set.

SEA LIFE Aquarium

 On the weekend before Jack's birthday, we took a trip with Nana to the new KC aquarium. We hadn't been before and had a great time. The boys really enjoyed it. Hudson especially enjoyed the figuring out the quiz questions throughout.

That evening they boys spent the night at Nana's while John and I celebrated our anniversary. We all had a great time and are so thankful they have a Nana in town to spend these special nights with.

More Pre Halloween festivities

The boys got a trial run of the costumes at our Gym Spooky Spectacular. They had fun with the games and left totally sweaty after jumping around in bounce houses!

 We made it to one more pumpkin patch on an early release school day. It was freezing cold but they didn't seem to care!

 They loved helping carve pumpkins although no one wanted to touch that gross stuff Jack called "disgusting", his new favorite word.

Jack did a gymnastics class and loved it! 

Leaving Boo treats for the neighbors. They loved being sneaky!

Roasting marshmallows with the neighbors.

Jack was so excited to get his gymnastics certificate and kept asking if he could go back up and do it again!
