Photo opp taken post-rib poking and subsequent bite. Why all smiles - because we are going to our friend Caleb's birthday party - and not any party, but a Lego Ninja party (a first for this family) - and GRANDMA is coming with us (another first).
Matteo's 2nd longest friendship - with Caleb. We met Caleb and his mama when Caleb was 21 months old. I still remember that first meeting, his mom said she remembered me based on my pants (cargo). We soon after met at a nearby school where Caleb bought his tricycle and Matteo his push mower - the boys shared toys and a friendship was formed. I always wished I had my camera for that first play date, but alas the memory is fresh in my mind.
When I snapped the below pic I didn't realize it until further review that the boys were holding hands. How innocent.
After some swing set play the games got underway, one of which consisted of a relay race. Matteo and Chloe have never taken part in this fun activity that I so fondly remember growing up,
but dare I say, they were both naturals at it.
After some balloon popping fun, the entertainment came out in the form of a ninja - -
Lest we forget the little sisters.
May all your wishes continue to come true.
And we came back home to enjoy some times with Gramps as well.
When writing in a book for Caleb, I found the below quote and thought it appropriate.
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.” - Dr. Seuss.
The above quote, has been on my mind ever since discovering it. Perhaps you will ponder same in your days ahead as well. Cheers. e.
