Jack's 3rd Birthday Party

Ever since Robert's birthday, Jack has been telling me EVERY DAY that he wants his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese with Dora cupcakes.  So, I baked Dora cupcakes last night:

...and we went to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday party.  His actual birthday is this weekend but there is no way I'm going to Chuck E. Cheese on a busy weekend.

Jack and Hayden playing air hockey:

Maggie and Keira.  They look adorable in the same outfit, but it wasn't planned:

 Brauna and Hayden:

 Brady and Drew dancing:

Max and Jack

 

Christina and Jack.  I think she was disappointed Robert wasn't there.

 After play time, we had pizza

Then, Jack got to meet Chuck E. Cheese in person!

All the kids were excited to meet him, except Keira

 Jack blew out the candle. 

These are the only kids willing to leave their Dora cupcakes on their plate and come up for a picture with Chuck E. Cheese:

The Pyramid Challenge

Today, Robert ran in the Pyramid Challenge.  Our middle school hosts a race for all the elementary schools that feed into it.  Each elementary school wears a different colored shirt.  Then they race one grade at a time, starting with kindergarten.  I think the kindergarteners only ran 1/2 mile, which is pretty far for 5 year olds, at least according to Robert.

Here is Robert before the race:

And they're off!

A Trip to the Dentist

On Friday, we visited the dentist.  Robert always has fun and enjoys the cleaning.    It helps that the dentist has a flat screen TV on the ceiling so kids can watch cartoons while their teeth are being cleaned.

Jack, well, he is a different story.

Last year, Jack screamed and cried, refusing to open his mouth.  It was not fun.

This time Jack did surprisingly well.  He opened his mouth and let the assistant clean his teeth.  He was pretty good until the dentist came out to check for cavities.  Then, like any other 2 yr old with wild mood swings, he decided he was not going to open his mouth.

Here is a picture of Dr. Robert helping Jack on the dentist chair.
