Patrick's Birthday Weekend

With Patrick's birthday, the World Series, and Halloween activities in the past couple weeks, I have lots of pictures to share.  This post will concentrate on pictures from Patrick's birthday last weekend.  He turned 2 last Friday.  Jack's friend from preschool, Allison, also had a birthday that day.  So, after preschool we went to a playground to celebrate Allison's birthday (which was exactly how Patrick wanted to spend his birthday, too).

The birthday boy:
The birthday girl:
Cupcakes!
Another mom held Charlie so I could push Patrick on the swings.
Jack and his preschool friends enjoyed playing on this tree stump.  Who needs a playground when you have a tree stump?
That night, we met friends for Boo at the Zoo.  It was our friend Elizabeth's birthday, too.  She and Patrick celebrated together with the animals.

James the train and our little giraffe:
Charlie was snug and warm.  We aren't going to dress him up this Halloween.  He will wear a pumpkin hat, though (not pictured).

On Saturday, we went to a Halloween party.
More cupcakes!
Charlie missed out on the dancing.
Jim and Jack listened to the singer/storyteller.
There was a balloon artist at the party.  Jack asked for a pumpkin balloon.
Patrick, who loves all things balls these days, got this cool balloon.  He was able to hit the balloon baseball with his balloon bat.  It was very cool! 

On Sunday, we had the family over for a birthday party.

The weather was nice enough that we opened presents and had cake and ice cream outside.  Patrick was not interested in opening any more presents after getting a soccer ball.  This boy loves balls!

 We finally let him go play with the soccer ball and opened the rest of the presents the next day.
 Here is the awesome cake Grandma made!

Make a wish:
