Ashton's Birthday Party Invitations



I love making cards.  It was fun to have an excuse to do it this month. 

Ashton asked for an airplane birthday party so here's what we came up with!


I hope all goes well for him, though.  Ashton's not feeling himself today and the party is TOMORROW.  He got up a few times in the night two nights ago, all "sneaky-like". He used the bathroom, spied on mom and dad down the hall a little, etc.  Then he snuck out of his nap yesterday and played a while with Lainey until he got caught.  First time he's attempted something like this in over a year.  So I'm not sure if the increased amount of out-of-bed episodes LAST night were an evolution of his new found stunts, or if he was really sick or something.  He got up about 6 times to pee or ask for oil for his legs (pain relief stuff we put on his legs for growing pains), or ask for a drink.  The final time we asked him if his tummy hurt and he said yes, but almost like he was appreciating our help in creating a new excuse for him to be up AGAIN. 

Today, he looks pretty bushed and has a faint fever.  Both of which can result form NOT sleeping at all the night before.  Growing pains, a full bladder, or the bug that's going around?  Still not sure.  But if you're a reader whose own little guy got invited for tomorrow's party, I'm crossing my fingers that Ashton will be up for it!  And I will definitely let you know early tomorrow if we see that he's still not acting himself.  For now, I'll let him continue sleeping the afternoon away.

Can I ask what you use for growing pains? We have been doing magnesium, it seems to help but doesnt make them go completely away, just 95% away!?!
