Palygroup Halloween Party

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from the Playgroup!!!

What on Earth will we do with all these boys!!!!

Allison hosted the annual playgroup Halloween party. All the boys were dressed up and look so adorable. It's obvious that the mothers no longer have a great influence over what these little guys will be. There were MANY super heroes and TV characters. Gone are the days of Peter Pan and fluffy teddy bear costumes.

The boys played Halloween games and made Halloween crafts. They also enjoyed lots of Halloween treats. My creativity is at an all time low so all I provided were jello jigglers and Halloween cookie cutters for them to cut it with. Although I think they enjoyed it.

As usual, It was a great time!!!!! We look forward to Christmas!

Sam's School Birthday Party

The Birthday boy!

I made Sam some yummy cupcakes to take to school for his birthday. His class sang to him and Mrs. Walsh made him feel super special. Fulton enjoyed hanging out with the BIG Kids. He especially liked sitting at the table with all the beautiful girls!

I think Sam really enjoyed his special day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMBO!!!

Sam is 5!!!
We are so excited to be celebrating Sam's 5th birthday. We compiled a slide show for him too! Although, his seems to be a bit longer! But I love seeing how he has grown and become such an amazing big boy!

The baby pudge is fading and he is turning into such a handsome young man. As he turns five, some of Sam's favorite things are...
His brother, his buddies at school and church, monster trucks, Star Wars, super heroes, and still MUSIC.
Just yesterday I was informed that his favorite song is, Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac. I must say he has a pretty good taste in music. Some of his other favorites are Van Halen, The Eagles, and Eric Johnson. And he has been known to request a little "JT" (Justin Timberlake) here and there. He still enjoys a good jam session on his drums but frequently gets cut short beacuse Fu wants to join in. Maybe one day they'll have their very own band!

He has expressed that he would like to go to the "Japeese" Restaurant for his birthday, because he likes the drum and the "Japeese sticks" (chop sticks). So we shall kick-off his birth-week festivities with dinner at Sato. As you may recall, I wrote all about the birth-week tradition in the Tronco family in an earlier post.
We will finish off the week with a party in the park next weekend!

But for now...I wish my sweet, handsome, and talented baby Sam a VERY HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY!!! We love you, Sambo!!!
