Weekly Diary – May 4 2013

Another set that’s all about Nathaniel’s birthday. Here are some snapshots from our week:

one of the neighbors couldn’t come to the little party we hosted so she came early to drop off a present for Nathaniel that required some construction. So the boys sat together and picked a song to listen to.

and got to work.

there was hammering.

and glueing. and laughing.

at night, we were invited to my friend Leslie’s son’s bar mitzvah so we dressed up all nice and got the babysitter to snap a shot.

then we celebrated Nathaniel’s birthday at the little park here by our house as we have every year since we’ve been born.

i snapped some shots of the boys.

david was awesome but nathaniel refused to look.

so i just kept snapping.

then it was time to blow the candles.

and the little champ did awesome.

and loved it.

the cake started like this.

and ended like this.

little boy loved his cupcake.

the kids played mini-golf and bean bag toss.

but Nathaniel just sat and ate his food.

and david riled all the kids up.

then Nathaniel went to the birthday party of another kid in his class and got some sunglasses in his goodie bag.

which he loved.

so i snapped and snapped of course.

that’s how you capture magic.

this is a terrible shot of it but he also got the clown to make him a cactus out of balloons. (in honor of plants vs zombies)

we received a bubble gun as one of his today.

let’s just say he loved it.

then it was time for family photos.

i tried to get them to stop laughing.

but Nathaniel was in top-form as always.

and would not stop laughing.

so i just gave in and laughed, too.

and here we go. so grateful for my life. i hope your week was lovely, too.
