On July 31st, our little Shane-man turned two! TWO!! That may sound like such a little number but really, it is so BIG. Nicholas likes to remind me that Shane is not a baby any more when I call him baby boy. He will correct me and say he is not a baby Mommy, he is a toddler. And I always reply, you are both my babies..and you always will be. He always smiles.
Shane's actual birthday was the last day at the cottage. When Shane woke up, he snuggled in bed with us for a little while and Daddy and I sang Happy Birthday while all snuggled. He just looked at us with the 'my parents are goofy' look and then all smiles.
His actual 'celebraton' followed a couple days later once we were home and settled. Sydney and I had went shopping over the weekend and one of the items I was determined to find was a jumping/bouncy outdoor 'thingy' for Shane's birthday gift. I did not even think twice that Toys R Us wouldn't have any in stock. None. Zero. Apparently, although still mid-summer, they are out of season now. So, after the initial disappointment, we left the store empty-handed and moved on.
After our girly shopping, we left the mall and headed over to Canadian Tire where we hmmed and hawed over this ONE bouncy 'thingy' they still had in stock. I decided to buy it although it wasn't exactly what I had in mind but I did know both boys would still enjoy it. Just as we were walking away from that area, I noticed on the board of what they have in stock for big items, there was a picture of the big box I saw in the aisle but had the regular price tag of $599 on it so of course, that was not even an option. But this tag was showing final clearance....and I have to say, I was giddy at the price. So, that was that. And now we have a 12'X11' LARGE jumping 'thingy' in our backyard that all the kids get to enjoy.
Okay, now that was probaly way too lengthy of an explanation at how we arrived at Shane's gift but the shopper in me is still very excited to get such a great deal and for something the boys should get a few years use out of at least. Yay!
Shawn, Cheryl and the boys were over for Shanes party as well as Derek and Allison and the two boys...which is really a nice fit as there are the 3 older boys closer in age and the three younger ones all close in age. Believe it or not, it did not rain that day so we were all able to have fun in the backyard. Happy Birthday to my sweet two year old Shaney. Your smiles, giggles, smooches and hugs bring such happiness to so many. All our love baby boy.
