Pilot Finn

WOW! Thanks to Stephen and Ellen for meeting us Sunday. Stephen showed Finn all about his plane and let Finn push all the buttons – so fun!

Checking out all the controls

He spent all afternoon Monday making lego airplanes and all his guys turned into Pilot Stephen!

Thanks for such a great outing! And thanks for these great photos Ellen!

I love this one!

Don’t cry baby Donncha, it’s the John Deere Tractor coffee table book!

Scavenger Hunt Fun

Allan ran an amazing treasure hunt for the kids today, sending them upstairs and downstairs, out front and out back. It was LOTS of fun!

Party Scenes

 

Noise makers, John Deere hats, cupcakes, cake and ice cream = a good party!

How many adults does it take to figure out the new baby toy? Or maybe it’s just because he’s so darn cute that they can’t stay away from him!

opening his many cards

and his many garden tools

Finn and I always fight over who gets to use the big rake in the garden (because we have one adult size one and one kid size one and he never wants the little one). So smart mummy bought him an adult sized rake for his birthday . Hooray for both of us!

Best brother ever award to Donncha – who got Finn this very large dump truck for his birthday. Finn’s been asking for a large dump truck for about 4 months now. Glad someone finally listened to him!

Fabulous Four

Here’s a few from this evening…more to come. Needless to say, it was a fantastic day.

Finn working on the cab of his rocket ship cake – his design, and his color choices.

Sling hazards…It’s hard to pick out, but poor little Denny has blue frosting and cake crumbs on his head!
