Birthday Countdown...

So the last few days have been filled with finally planning out Moose's birthday party. The big 4. It's this coming Saturday, and he is now old enough to be completely aware of the existence of parties, games, cake, presents, etc.

We've never really been big on the celebrations. The hubs doesn't really care if he has a cake or not. I enjoy a little hullabaloo. But other than that, we're just not big on the celebrations. Too much work, maybe. But now that Moose is older, and excited, and anticipating, I just can't let him down.

So this Saturday we are planning a party at the park. Complete with his favorite lunch: PB&J. In my mind it's mostly a glorified play date. But I'm anticipating a little bit of work and preparation (okay, maybe a lot of work and preparation.) to make sure this day is happy for the little guy.

I already asked him what his favorite foods are so he can eat those all day. Here's the blessed menu:

Breakfast: Honey Bunches of Oats and banana juice (milk and banana blended with sugar and vanilla)
Lunch: PB&J, apples, orange cheese (with juice and chips as a special treat from me. Oh, and cake too.)
Dinner: Homemade alfredo, hot dogs and carrot sticks

What the Birthday Boy wants, the Birthday Boy gets... :)
