There have been a few days of celebration going on here at the Brungardt house. We've been celebrating Joseph's birthday, which was yesterday. Last week, Grandma Brungardt sent Joseph a birthday card with some money in it. So on Friday, Dan visited the toy store on his lunch break. Here you see one excited little boy:
Look, Mommy, a new dump truck!
The dump truck and front loader got put right to work. This was the only day they were played with inside, as these two were slated to be sandbox toys. Since the sandbox was not yet built, wooden blocks had to do. (More on the sandbox(es) later!)
On Saturday my parents came for the day and the birthday extravaganza continued. Do you see Joseph's eyes transfixed by his new tractor and wagon? After seeing those, he was uninterested in anything else and went off to his room to play with them for the next couple hours. The tractor looks like Daddy's tractor, which only adds to the appeal.
I shouldn't have even asked Joseph what kind of birthday cake he wanted, because I already knew the answer. A tractor cake, Mommy! However, since Mommy does not have a tractor cake pan and did not have oodles of spare time, she got creative. Chocolate cake mix, homemade chocolate frosting, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, and some of Joseph's small John Deere tractors with attachments. All equalling one happy little boy.
Yesterday we had a hamburgers/french fries/shakes and smoothies party. Then Joseph had a few presents from us to open. Being newly 3, he attacked the gifts with glee, rapidly opening all of them, not stopping to examine what was inside until all was revealed. See, he is moving so fast the package is just a blur.
Then our tractor-loving little birthday boy with his new tractor shirt sat down to read his new tractor book.
Happy Birthday, Joseph!
