Today we went to my brother's house for Nash's 3rd birthday party.

Nash was excited to see Grandpa Big Truck. Nash had him read "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie", but Nash did most of the reading himself.

Linc is growing up, too. He's drinking water out of a big-boy cup.

The party had a "tool" theme. Nash and Daddy made the brownie base, and then Sarah decorated it like a tape measure.

Nash enjoyed the frosting.

Grandma and Grandpa Big Truck got Nash exactly what he asked for: an orange garbage truck. Nash quickly figured out how it worked. His matchbox cars fit in the bin and down the chute perfectly.

Linc also got a present. It is called a Googly Giggle. You drop it on the floor and it laughs and bounces around. At first he was frightened by it, but his curiosity won out.

Eventually he got brave enough to pick it up, but only after it stopped wiggling.
We had a great time two nights in a row. Last night Ma and I accompanied Brad and the boys to Sarah's school play. The boys were so-o-o-o well-behaved. They sat enthralled for the entire show.
