On Friday, Milo went to Mrs. Heiss's preschool and was treated to a surprise party thrown by Mrs. Heiss and all the big kids. They organized the whole thing, cupcakes and all. We donated brownies to the cause. Milo came home with an awesome hat, a gift from the big kids and a goody bag with bubbles and crayons in it. The gift from the big kids was a Spiderman activity book with lots of things to do. He was so excited and happy about the surprise party, Milo just couldn't stop talking about it yesterday. I was really impressed with how nicely organized the party was; the big kids made sure that all the little kids got a goody bag and that they all were able to share in the fun.
Then today, the fun continued with Grandma Carolynn and Grandpa Bob. I delivered Milo to their house around 11:30 this morning, and they were off to an amazing adventure at the Freehold Mall. They took him out to lunch and then.....Milo got to build his own robot!! Holy moly, the kid had a blast. He is so proud of his robot! The robot's name is Planet, and he came from Saturn. Planet even says "My name is Planet and I belong to Milo." That is totally cool beans!
While they were out partying, I was here having a party of my own: washing the truck and cleaning out the interior whilst listening to Buffett. Corey came home from work a little early; Grandma Carolynn and Grandpa Bob brought Milo back in time for supper, and we ordered Chinese food and had good cake.
Tomorrow the fun continues!
Checking out the options at Robot Galaxy. So many bot bodies to choose from!
That's it! That's the one! Milo's awesome hat came from preschool. He wore it all day today, pretty much, even when we went to the vet this morning with Lily and Monet.
The nice girl at the robot store helping Milo put together his custom made robot.
And this piece goes here....
Now plug that in there....
When the robot is all assembled, apparently they go up into some sort of space pod to Saturn, where they get programmed. When he came back down the robot looked like...
This!! Dig Planet's space guns and jet feet with booster rockets!
Taking Planet for a stroll in Grandma Carolynn's backyard.
Milo looks like he's having a little too much fun being an axe-wielding maniac. You know, boys will boys! (Grandpa Bob had a HUGE tree cut down in his yard, and of course, Milo wanted to get in on the action of being a tree guy.)
Mmmmm, cake. Check out the spooky ghost hand in the background. That is an official objet d'art....it says so on its base. Grandma Carolynn and Milo dressed it up ages ago with a tinfoil watch and ring; it's still wearing them. At times I am tempted to paint its fingernails, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
