It was unseasonably warm here in Maryland this weekend which was perfect considering it was Noah's birthday and one of his favorite things to do is be outside and run around willy nilly.
Saturday morning we headed to our neighborhood's small playground and rode the Shake-a-saurus Rex.

Sam entertained everyone by banging on the various playground pieces with a stick.

He did stop for a short time so I could get this tough guy picture of him. But, don't let the picture fool you. He is my snuggler and loves to spend the day under a blanket with his green Slither snakes.

Even Ernie enjoyed the warm weather and sunned himself in the afternoon on the deck.

On Sunday we had a small birthday party for Noah. I found him a great balloon at the local grocery store. Who says you have to have a birthday themed balloon on your special day? Not us!

Noah wanted to spend most of the time during the party in his room watching Dora but when I mentioned the word "Presents" he made a bee-line for the table!
Noah got a lot of new books, A Shining Star Penguin and art set from his Daddy, and some new drawing papers and crayons from Becky and her family.
My dad and Stepmom brought 2 Zhu Zhu pets, which I had never seen before, and the boys loved them. Noah cracked up at the funny noises they made and especially likes the black and white one that Moo's like a cow.
My personal favorite picture of the weekend... My own little photo-op FAIL!
Oh well....it was almost a perfect weekend.
