Owen's 3rd bday

Owen's birthday! Can I just say that I can't believe that my youngest child is already 3 years old?!? We had a fun filled day, starting with my hauling out at the crack of dawn to get krispy kreme donuts so they would be there when Owen woke up (he wakes up about 6:30am). As soon as he woke up he got to open one present (my family opened presents in the morning). Matt hung around to watch, then had to take off for school. Owen opened the bumblebee costume (which he wore most of the day). It was the one thing that he kept telling us he wanted for his bday, so he was pretty excited as you can see in the picture. We went out to the Opry Mills Mall later and ate lunch at the Aquarium- another Owen favorite. They gave him a bday icecream, which he loved. And he got to pick a toy from the mall. We got home in time to pick up Matthew then head to Chuck E. Cheese. Let's just say that the Franklin Chuck E. Cheese was quite a bit nicer than the others I've been to! It was a lot of fun. A highlight was when Chucky came out. Owen kept following him around trying to get his attention. Matt met us at there, but then took Matthew to soccer practice. We ended up getting home at the same time as them. We had cake (also transformers) and opened presents. He got some good loot! Thanks everyone for the gifts!
As a side note, Owen is in a really contrary phase. Whatever you say he disagrees (even if he really agrees!) So, he loved all the bday stuff and activities, but he didn't want anyone to say happy birthday to him! He'd say, "No! Don't say that to me!" And he wouldn't talk to anyone who called to wish him happy birthday. Funny kid. At least he had a really fun day!
