Happy Birthday Braxton and Dalton!
We celebrated their 3rd birthday by having the Greenes over. Mamaw and Papaw Beckman were still visiting, so the boys were able to celebrate with them as well! The kids all played on the new playset and we painted wooden frames and took pictures of the kids so they had a photo of themselves to put in it. I gave them all a bottle of bubbles, but most of the solution ended up on the deck with Dalton rolling around in it! Either way, it was entertainment! A few days later we had a hard rain come down. I looked out the window and the deck was covered in bubbles!!
The boys loved their many gifts. Dalton found it a little difficult to wait so he took it upon himself to sneak inside and start tearing through the presents (he climbed onto the kitchen counter and pushed them down onto the floor). We briefly saw him opening them as he ran with gifts in hand through the door to the patio to show us!
It was a good thing they had fun that night because the next week and a half proved to be a real bummer. First, they came down with a cold. Then pink eye and tonsillitis. We finished off with a nasty virus called Foot, Hand and Mouth Disease. The poor things had fevers and blisters in their mouths and all over their bodies. So far it has been rough being 3!
