excuse me while my brain has a wee malfunction. 
this canNOT be three years ago:
our precious 3rd child. born at our (then) new home. who knew the sweetness and joy he'd add to this family?
fast forward 3 years:
( our painfully shy Monte who only just managed to get through this excrutiating moment of intense attention by locking his brown eyes on mine while a whole bunch of family sung 'Happy Birthday')
but anyway, this is a Make My Week post isn't it?
(and no, the cake isn't what i made - Ty did, actually. i merely "iced" it :) )
i made an interactive headboard cover for our birthday boy.
hurrah!
i'll post a little 'How-To' later but for now we're off to some digger hireage yards today to look at lots and lots and lots of Really.Big.Diggers for a birthday treat :) :)happy birthday burger!! xoxo
(what did you make? share, share!)
awesome..love the cake, love the headboard, love the shy wee man!!! time flies it really does..
ReplyDeleteGreat cake! It appears your 3 year old is as obsessed with diggers as my 3 year old. Do you also have to read lots of nonfiction books to him about diggers?! It has certainly expanded my knowledge of different types of diggers!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Monte! I didn't realise he and Finley were so close in age... I don't know why, I'm living in fairyland again I think ;o) He sounds so much like Fin, right down to the digger-loving and shyness.
ReplyDeleteAwesome headboard too. We don't have headboards in our house, but it would be worth getting one for such a cool idea! Well done Mama!
xo
dee, that is absolutely gorgeous! does food count for 'make my week'? if so, I made muffins ;)
ReplyDeletePossibly the cutest post ever! Love that photo of him looking at you, I can actually feel his pain! Cutie cute cute.. Also, the cake is amazing, as is the headboard! You are some kind of genius I think...
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, I love that headboard cover! Gorgeous! He he...we just got back from a walk to the quarry down the road where we watched loads of diggers...the hire centre's one of our favourite treats too :) Happy Birthday, Monte!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, happy birthday you cute boy! What a clever mumma you have to make you such an awesome headboard. No doubt you can't WAIT to go to bed at night now!
ReplyDeleteIt always surprises me finding other parents who have painfully shy kids - I sometimes don't know how best to deal with it with our one - i.e. how much to cajole him into activities I know he would love if he just gave a chance versus how much to just let him be...not sure there's a right answer either, just sayin :-)
Um...GREAT idea!
ReplyDeleteDee, your creativity never ceases to amaze me! You actually = awesomeness on so many levels.
ReplyDeletePS Your boy is gorgeous, shyness and all :)
Dee!! Wow fantastic. I am going to try very hard to learn how to attach a button to my blog for joining up on the make my week. I am VERY tempted to create a headboard so I can do this. CLEVER, clever lady!
ReplyDeleteAlso Dee - how to get the button? I am going to TRY to put it on my blog. Never done that before!
