Carter's Construction Party

It seems every August since Carter's been born has brought significant events into our lives. When he turned 1 we moved into our house in Roseville, 2 - we opened Bellybou' and now turning 3 he's about to become a big brother to twin baby boys. These things have made the years fly by with alarming speed and each year it's been a tad too easy to let his 'special day' slip by with little reflection on just how big this little boy has gotten.



So before I have new babies, I felt desperate to celebrate the little boy who has been my only baby boy for the past three years.

And these days it seems there's few better pathways to his heart than Construction trucks and tools! So we had a construction party and although it was a bit of a crazy Monday morning, considering I'm supposed to be on bedrest...oops... it was incredibly worth it to see his face light up with excitement at all the fun that was planned just for him.

In the pictures below you'll get just a taste of all the activities, we built with blocks, hammered nails, read construction books, painted the playhouse and destroyed a pinata! Cita helped me decorate an amazing 'Construction Scene' cake and Carter so enjoyed having so many of his special friends there celebrating him.

Enjoy the pics!

It looked a lot of fun for Carter and his guests. You did a great job to make a little boy so happy and Cita did a fantastic job on the cake too. You need to really get Carter a non-pink bat though. I think that should be up to Poppa Wayne! ha!
Thanks for sharing and I hope you are feeling good in the last days of pregnancy.
