Leland's 3rd Pirate Party!


Leland woke up Sunday morning saying, "I'm THREE" and asking when his friends were coming for the party!

He was being a little uncooperative while trying to get a picture with the party table, but he worked through the crankiness and had a great time!

The lighting in our house is horrible, but it was way too hot to have an outdoor party. 

Leland was very adimant that he wanted cupcakes, not cake.  He also wanted blue icing, but while I was ordering them, he asked for blue and red icing.  I ordered pirate toppers off of Esty and I think they turned out SO cute!

I used brown sugar for "sand".

This year we had a very simple party including ice cream, cupcakes, peanut m's (as Leland says), and chips and dip. 
 
 
 
 

I can't believe our baby boy is THREE!  Time has flown by over the past 3 years.  He is a very outgoing, compassionate, humble, full of personality little boy.  I can, however, tell that the 3rd year is going to be much worse than the 2nd year attitude wise.  He is just now getting into the "pushing all of Mommy's buttons" mode.  Hopefully it will be short lived, but I am not sure how it is going to mesh with a new baby in 8 weeks or less!

Leland being sweet, loving, and smart by far out weigh the hellion child.  He will literally talk your ears off.  He picks up on everything and doesn't forget anything.  He has started calling our friends and family by name and is pretty good at remembering each persons name. 

He knows most of his colors, can count to 10, trys to say all of his ABC's with you, knows several songs, is still a very picky eater, will only drink milk if we put sugar free chocolate in it, loves boy toys (trucks, boats, bicycles, etc.), loves relaxing, reading books, watching movies, and being outside.  He is not a fan of school.  He is fine while he is there and has fun, but still screams from the time he gets dressed to the time I drop him at school. 

We had a great Birthday party with our close friends and family.  Leland got lots of great presents including a pirate bath set, a bicycle and helment, DVD's, puzzles, games, a double jogging stroller, and a big truck with trailer (he calls it a camper) and a boat.
