three

Today my little man turned 3 years old!

Matt & I both agree it just seems so appropriate.
For awhile now he's been the size of a 3 year old with the athletic ability of a 3 year old and definitely the ability to bother his sister like a 3 year old (wait, maybe that goes for any age) -
and now finally his age matches him!

He was delighted to start the day blowing out his candles in a cinnamon roll!


And later informed me that he did not "ike" being called the birthday boy - "I Peter Kenneth Robbins".
Also, I apparently gave him way too many "kissies" today (really, he's only 3).

When I asked him to show me with his fingers how old he is - this is what I got:
 
He, Hannah & I enjoyed a "tea party" lunch out in the backyard
(In our family, anything that consists of a pitcher of water, open cups and the kids allowed to do the pouring is considered a tea party.)


Of course, this is what came of pouring their own water.


This boy has such a sweet, charming smile and



can also make the scariest of faces.
(In fact, I am not posting the scariest of pictures because it is kind of creepy.)


We enjoyed our last day of swim lessons


and a special visit from Grammie!


Peter finished off his day having an ice cream treat with daddy.


Happy Birthday Little Man, we love you SO much!

five (part 2)

(a couple additions to my earlier post)

1. Daddy says that this 5th birthday is a bit hard on him too (don't worry he's not weeping)



2.  Hannah insisted that after swim lessons we take pictures of her special birthday crown
(oh yes, we actually still have last year's crown - that's how special these things are to her)
 


3. Apparently, even when 5 year old's want you to take pictures of them
they rarely stop moving long enough to accomplish said task.

 


3. singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out candles is still really cool at 5!
 
 
 4.  Just in case you don't remember, we have another birthday in our family tomorrow
(yes, my oldest kids are 2 years and 1 day apart)

five

Today my oldest is five.

No one warned me that turning five was going to be such a big deal to mommy - a transition from all things little to a lot of growing up.  I might be a little weepy but am SO excited for what lays ahead.

We celebrated at Hannah's preschool this morning with a special birthday circle.

She was SO proud sitting in the birthday chair.


She got a birthday crown. 


Sang all her favorite songs.


And showed Teacher Tina how the numbers were mixed up. :)


Of course, she fixed them!


Still beaming!!


Peter got to join in also and loved it.


In fact, our whole family was there!!


Happy Birthday Hannah-girl!!
