3 years or 36,000 miles.....

Happy Birthday Jack! Today, our Big Little Man turns 3. Which is funny, considering I know he was only born about a week ago. Right? Yeah, just go with me on this.

But if he was a car, the warranty would be expiring today. Which is normally when I get ready to trade up for a new model, but in this particular case I think we just might be in it for the long haul...

We celebrated on Saturday with a Pirate Birthday Party (per his request) and I got in touch with my inner Domestic Goddess and made him a Pirate Ship Birthday Cake. And just because it so kicked the ass of the birthday cakes I used to get, I present it here for your inspection.



AND, because I'm a big softie for the Froo-it of my Loy-unz, here is a quick retrospective of the glory to behold that is "The Jack".





And, even though it's Jack's special day, here's one of Toby for the hungry masses...


If the next 3 years pass as quickly as these, I'm in big trouble... Because that means I'll wake up tomorrow and be 30, and Jack will be in 1st grade. And I am SO not ready for that.

Well, Happy Birthday to Jack! This answers a big question that I've had for a while and that is that the Catholic started makin' babies earlier, but didn't put them as close together as certain other ex-religions. Also...Awesome Cake!

Mel -
awesome cake, you rock! and wow oh my god does Jack not look like his faher!?!?!?! scary stuff!
My oldest baby turned 8 a week ago, 3rd grade is around the corner; this scares me for so many reasons and the youngest carries a purse and wears sunglasses while shopping....when did I loose my little babies??
I locked mine in the car when she was 2, it was terrible and my heart went out to you while I read your story - at least the Italian came to your aide.
Keep an eye on those handsome boys of yours, my oh my they are getting so big!!
