Morgan’s 4th Birthday

Morgan is 4 years old today!  I can’t believe that he is already 4.  That seems like such an older age since I have memories of when I was 4.  I guess that makes parenting even scarier now that I know that he will have lasting memories of the good times along with all the times that I mess up.

My birthday is in the summer and I always loved having swimming parties.  We meet up with his cousins last night for a swimming party.  It was originally intended to just be a party in the hot tub.  It ended up being a fairly cold day.  Mary and I sat on the side of the pool and watched the bright idea unfold from the kids to jump in the pool.  We just let them do it.  You know how you get so hot in the tub and then can jump back and forth from cold to hot.  The pool was in the 60s.  I’m sure that it was freezing.  I’ve attached videos to permanently memoralize my great parenting skills… hardy har har.  Still, what kid in Dallas gets an outdoor swimming party the first week of March?

Afterwards we told everyone to take showers & baths.  My new technique for still shooting the boys in the tub is to tell them to put as many toys as they can in their laps.  Privacy issue solved!

Morgan had a Batman cake last year.  Thank you Dan for picking this up.  I didn’t feel like putting together a cake this year.

This is the beginning of the tent

I made for the boys.  They have been playing in it for the past hour and calling it their bathroom.  Who knew that a bathroom has so much play appeal to preschoolers.  Here’s Andres crawling through the “door”.
