Happy #6 Charlie

  

Happy #6 to Charlie Matthew!  We had a very fun week celebrating our independent, creative, curious, strong willed boy!  Charlie is the most social and out going boy I know and he certainly marches to the beat of his own drum.  He is always up to something - making a library around the house, creating a fish shop in his room, making his own nerf bullets out of pool noodles - the list goes on and on and on, he has about 5-10 crazy, hair brained, totally creative/artsy ideas a day.  No one tells Charlie what to do and he's never short on ideas:)  While he sometimes drives us nuts with his independent, always outside of the box personality, we also adore his amazingly creative, insightful and hilarious little spirit.  It'll be fun to see what Charlie becomes when he grows up, that's for sure:) 

His birthday week included a visit from Grammy, a trip to the Sears (still called Serious by all 3 boys) tower, a sports themed birthday party, his Kinder teacher coming over with cookies and stories, and a fun family celebration.

 Charlie cooking on his own - he wanted nothing to do with a recipe or any sort of cooking advice.  This creation is called "Confetti Scotch"

 The teachers at school always do a raffle at the Feb fun fair, and this year Charlie's teacher raffled off bringing cookies and milk to your house along with bedtime stories. Charlie won and it was quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen.  She read the boys 8 books and was at our house for over an hour.  We love you Mrs. Harrington:)

 Happiest of birthdays to you Squatty Dog
