Seth is Three!

 
How can that be?

He may always be my baby boy. He definitely is snuggly in his cheetah pj's. Although feirce wielding his sword.

This was at the end of a very fun day and he's a tired cheetah.

It's nice when the kids birthdays fall on Saturdays. We had a slow morning getting up and than headed to Java House for breakfast. We haven't done that in ages, and the original Java House is still our favorite. The boys are big enough to each order and finish 3 kiddy breakfast. And Ryan and I enjoyed every bite of our big breakfasts.

We needed to waste some time so ran some errands at Nakumat (like a super target). Than off to Jamhuri Park. Ryan had seen a flyer about Polo matches. And sure enough we saw lots of horses. Near Nairobi is a smaller town of Karen named after Karen Blixen (think Out of Africa). Populated by white Kenyans of British background who are quite proper with horses and polo matches. The saturday matches were free. The kids enjoyed jumpy castles, face painting, and even cotton candy. We got to pet the horses who were not competing.

Than home for lunch and rest time.

For dinner the compound got together to grill out and wish a family fairwell that was heading back to Germany. We brought cupcakes and lit them and sang Happy Birthday to Seth. He thought it was all about him. Why Not!!!

When we got home, he opened his present and was quite excited about his sword and sheath. For 2 days he was the only one with a sword, quite an honor than that got to be too much for me and I bought them all swords, even Chloe.

Happy Birthday Seth!

What a fun day!! I love that you ended up buying everyone a sword. Isn't that how it goes?? Jack is totally into swords right now too. Everything is a sword...sticks, brooms, plastic golf clubs, grandma's knitting needles..... they will have a lot of fun together when you guys get back here again! :o)

What a great day! I love that you guys find new and free things to do all the time! Because that's exactly what we do here!

Seth's eyes look brown in that picture...at first I didn't think it was him!

Chloe with a sword. That did me in and I started to laugh out loud.
