owen was a champion the last couple of days. last night was our friends birthday party. owen had a blast, as did everyone else. the pizzas were a hit (yummy good!), so were the cupcakes. we had 7 kids total (two under a year, three who are 3, a 4-year-old and a 5-year old), plus assorted and affiliated adults (me, jeff, katie and rob, faye, eileen and her m-i-l pat). owen got a really cool puzzle, that is actually a set of 20 word puzzles, money in his "beer and pizza" account (read: college fund), and a hulky-pokey incredible hulk toy (think along the lines of tickle me elmo).
today was the family party. there were a total of 21 of us in our tiny house. our family is loud. add in windows that don't open (or cold weather so you wouldn't want to open the windows), and it gets really loud. there are 7 kids in o's generation. he's smack dab in the middle. we had asked the family for clothes since owen has a gajillion toys and no space for more. they happily obliged. we basically have his entire winter wardrobe. all size 4T (and they fit!) we might have to buy a few more items - more jammies, another pair or two of jeans, and maybe a nice pair of pants to match his dress shirt/tie that he got from grandma joanne. he also got an alphabet puzzle and a black and decker toy power tool set. from daddy and mommy (in that order...) he got a cars slot car race track. i had nothing to do with it, but i love it! jeff's going to attach it to plywood so we don't have to keep setting it up and taking it down. owen loves it. at one point tonight, he was watchign it and yelling, "go cars!!!! go!!!!!!!! go!!!!" total hit. he thoroughly enjoyed being sung to both last night and tonight. he got a cool backpack, plus two foam puzzles in trays from my mom and jim.
he's in bed now. in brand new jammies.
