These pictures tell the story of Owen's birthday. He is getting so old and grown up. He loves to play fight with any kind of weapon. He sings his "theme song"- of which there are several versions- when he is playing really hard or when he's on some sort of mission. It is the cutest thing ever and I'm sure that's one of the biggest things we will all remember about 3-4 year old Owen!
He is also a goofball, he likes to say random things like "toothpaste pizza?!?" and then laugh hysterically at himself, and in the process he makes us all laugh.
He is mostly still super sweet to Maris, and he is learning surprisingly quickly how to deal with her stubborn almost-2-year-old-ness when they do start to fight. I only have to tell him something a few times, like "Just distract her with another fun toy and she will give yours back" and he learns the trick. And since he is so nice to her, she is learning by example to be a compassionate and shareing person. Win, win, win.
Anyway here's his birthday morning present opening:
Lunch at Dairy Queen.
His favorite birthday present! A bow and arrows "like Hawkeye".
New superhero books from Grammy.
The cakes!!
The superhero training obstacle course setup:
Leaping tall buildings, punching through brick walls, crawling through tunnels,
knocking down bad guys with Captain America shields, and crawling over a minefield of balls!
We also had a laser maze to climb through, separately.
Owen, Robbie, David, Brian, Jenna M and Jenna P! Not pictured but present were Danny, Camden, and Cleo.
Whitney, Katelyn, Natalie, and Caleb were great helpers!
We also did bomb-diffusing, aka poping balloons to get gumballs.
And we played spiderman tag with silly string,
Grandma got in the line of fire!
Ready for cake!
The adorable birthday boy!! (Who finally decided on a Captain America costume after changing more than once!)
