The "Finnster, et al."

Tonight I took Will to see the “Lion King.”  It was just the two of us as Michael and the boys are away. I was really looking forward to this evening. I have never taken Will to a movie and I anticipated having some wonderful mother/son time together. We arrived at the theater at 5:00 for the 5:15 showing. I bought popcorn and we took our seats.

The other party goers played with the dinosaur toys upstairs. As most of my parties tend to be, this party was a breakfast party.  We had donuts, sausage balls and ice cream cake. Will really enjoyed his presents. This was the first birthday where he realized that he was the center of attention and all of the presents were his. It is hard to believe that he is already three.  I still think of him as a baby.  Even though he can be so stubborn, I enjoy him so much.  He is just precious. But, if you call him precious he will say, "I'm not precious, I'm William Rex." It was a fun party, but the real fun started when we all attempted to get Meg out of the tree.  On morning before ...
