Superman’s Ice Cream

The main focus on Superman’s birthday dinner was, well, eating. We did make sure to get a picture of him with his ice cream desert at the end though.

Birthday Boy

A week later, it was Superman’s turn for his birthday!

Naturally he got everybody up nice and early.

Then he immediately started admiring his gifts.

This ‘tornado in a bottle’ was a surprise favorite. Very zen to watch I suppose.

We didn’t make him pause and take a picture with everything but I know for sure I helped him put this together the same day he got it. I fear Thunderer may have run off with the characters at the moment, but they’ll turn back up.

Birthday Teen

I’m not sure how the sorting put these birthday pictures for TJ after the fair trip, but oh well. They were originally taken on June 1… he turned 16!

Blew them all out in one swoop!

Birthday Lunch

So for clarity sake, my birthday is May 23. These pictures were that Friday which allowed this to be the most feasible (and first time) Mom and Pops were able to celebrate my birthday all together.

I say first time, because we only just recently found each other. At the time this post goes up it will have been only a little over a year. Okay, a year and a couple months, but this was our first birthday where she knew right where I was.

Birthday Arrival

Okay, so this post is actually going up about three months after my actual birthday… oops.

Something very different from usual was that I had the day before off due to those dental appointments.

So when I can into work on my actual birthday I found something waiting for me at my desk?!

What’s funny is they had delivered them the day before, against my mom’s delivery instructions, so halfway into the afternoon I received a call from the front desk and they gave me ANOTHER candy boquet!?

Hey, that works.

Meanwhile, at home Redflare insisted on getting a picture of me…

And because the kids get offended when we parents don’t follow the same traditions as they receive there was cake.

How old was I as of late May? Old enough to no longer be in the primary marketing demographic of 18-35.

Children’s Museum Return

Up we go to another Children’s Museum post!

I tried to tell Thunderer about putting her eggs in a single basket but she was having too much fun with the chicken coop.

Of course, once they weren’t giving her any more eggs it was time to lock them all away.

While Newbie was happy to chill in the beaver dam…

Thunderer didn’t want to share.

Newbie appreciated studying the beaver skull too.

And also being impressed by the impact those teeth can have!

Finally it was time to put on a show…

Admire the fish.

And build.

They all approved of the trip and had fun.

So I think she had an awesome birthday.

Newbie Day Continued

Newbie was the star of the show on her birthday at the Children’s Museum and she knew it.

The others got into what is becoming their usual antics there too though.

I’m not sure what the attraction is for Thunderer and the sand, but it’s where she went first again.

Meanwhile Superman was sure to return to the lego-like blocks.

They moved around quite a bit though. Thunderer decided on a new project eventually.

Superman joined Newbie in the grocery area too.

And even took after Redflare and didn’t burn any food for his older brother.

The teenagers were a great help in keeping an eye on the little ones.

Can’t tell they’re related at all can you?

There are a few more pictures to go at the Children’s Museum. I think I can work out another post.
