Eric's Birthday

Eric's birthday is today. We didn't do too much because he thinks he's old and is "over birthdays"..... how can you be over birthdays??? Anyway, Calvin and I surprised him at work and brought him and his co-workers a cake to eat. Then of course we had a huge pie to eat at home too. It was a banana chocolate cream pie with a touch of coconut on top from Papa Hydens in Portland. It was very yummy but HUGE especially when Eric and I were the only ones eating it. Calvin tried some but didn't like it very much and despite the pictures Teddy didn't help eat any either.

Here it is! Looks amazing huh?

My boys cutting the pie and giving me their cheesiest smiles.

Calvin insisted the Teddy put a bib on as well so he could have some pie too.

That's a big piece of pie.....

The First Band-aid

Calvin is 2 and 1/2 and he just now had an accident that needed a band-aid. We went to the nature reserve in Richfield where he was having fun running on the dirt road ahead of us (of course we didn't realize it until after the incident but we were not even supposed to be walking on the road.....vehicles only until May 1st.......oopps!) Anyway, he fell and broke the skin on his hand. He was really scared and wouldn't move his hand for at least an hour after it happened.

Here is the road in question......the scene of the crime.

Poor little hand! This is the position Calvin kept his hand in forever!

But SweetTarts stopped the crying...and of course boof and teddy helped.
