The Mayor turned three this past weekend.
I fear THE AGE OF THREE.
K used the word "teamwork" in a sentence while talking to The Mayor.
"Do you know what 'teamwork' is, Mayor?" K asked.
"It's when you work together."
"That's right, Mayor! It's when people work together towards a common objective. Can you think of a common objective for our family?"
Without hesitation, The Mayor yelled,
"POWER!!"
Who is this child and where did he come from?
(Power comes with MAN HANDS!)
Totally Unrelated Side Note:
I am coming to you this morning from New Orleans!
I'm here for three days for work.
I'm staying at a fancy, schmancy, super MOD hotel and I have to say, it is totally "Now is the time on Schprockets ven ve DANCE!"
I am supposed to be all pro-fesh-un-ull and yet I some how feel compelled to dance in a cage wearing only a bikini - what with the club/rave music they play all day in here.
(Work that body, work that body, make sure you don't hurt nobody!)

Happy Birthday Mayor, may your candles extinguish and your wish for power be fulfilled.
Happy Birthday Mayor!!
Power to the people!
Have fun in Nawlins.
Happy B-Day Mayor. It is time to take over the world.
Caged Bikini Dancer that is totally professional.
Happy Birthday Mayor!
I love the pic with the whole piece of cake on the fork.
I think The Mayor and Jack would get along, if only because they have the same ideas about how much cake to put on a fork (I posted some cake pictures this weekend, also.)
Happy Birthday, Mayor!
Happy birthday Mayor:)
Happy, happy day Mayor!!
Happy Birthday to the Mayor!
I'm laughing at that cake pic. Looks familiar!
Happy birthday Mayor--you cutie, you!
Three *is* a little intimidating. we never had the Terrible Twos at our house (with either kid) but boy, did/does three present its own challenges!
Happy Birthday, Mayor!!!
Hey, you're in Nawlins.....I think cage dancers can be professional...you can work it both ways.
Man hands and baby faces. I bet he could pull it off, too!
Happy Birthday Mayor!! The photographs are too cute!! May the power be with you!!
Those man hands!!! Happy Birthday to the Mayor! "Power" is a great objective.
You are too cool for school in your fancy hotel. Have fun but don't go into any cages.
Your son and I eat cake the same way. Happy birthday to your little guy!
Happy b-day Mayor! And don't worry Mom...it really doesn't go to crap until 4...;)
My biggest fear is that our son will pull an Alex P. Keaton and become the next Ralph Reed (sorry to the RR fans out there, but he's not my speed)... Keep using that team-based language with the Mayor and I think he'll be right with the Monkey...
Oh MY!
I got married in that chain of hotel...can you imagine my husband's 90 yo Italian grandparents there? :)
I think the Mayor is totally on track for WORLD DOM-I-NA-TION by the Oh, the Joys family!
Kelly, you are SO right about things going to crap at 4. My first didn't have terrible twos, but he had a bad case of ferocious fours.
Happy Birthday! That is a big *bite* in that third picture. lol
thought one: i want some of the Mayor's green icing. happy birthday to him. :)
thought two: your family in power seems quite pleasant compared to the current incarnation. at least you'd all be doing Riverdance for our entertainment.
thought three: of course you want to cage dance in New Orleans. it's normal. express yourself. and post photos.
Yay for Mayor. He's going places, that Mayor.
seriously, can I come down there and study under your photoshopping greatness? I could take a sabbatical.
The Big Easy?! It is fun!
Happy B-day Mayor!
We gots da POWER!
Happy birthday Mayor! Love the man hands. I think he is just starting small - first mayor, then the world.
Enjoy your trip.
Happy Birthday big 3 year old!
Have fun in New Orleans...have a drink for me
cheers!
Happy Birthday Mayor!
We almost booked one of those ultra-cool hotels in NY, but I just felt like such a fraud! Give me my Hilton Garden Inn any day!
Oh and I agree, two was a piece of cake (pun intended) compared to three...
Aw sistah...rock it baby...
Happy Birthday Man Hands Mayor!
You got the Power!
Happy Birthday to the Mayor! I'm so jealous that you're in New Orleans. Eat some beignets for me.
Happy birthday to the Mayor.
My three-year-old loves Pinky and the Brain and daily quotes, "TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"
Oh, the Threes! Looks like our boys are about the same age-- Jake turns three in two weeks and becoming uncharacteristically defiant. Defiance + power = yikes.
Just stopping by. Happy Birthday to Mayor! Ah...3 years old. Hope mine makes it to 4.
happy birthday mayor!
the power suit looks good on you. just remember the little people after you get to the top.
you can be a professional and wear a bikini while dancing in a cage. You can be a professional GOGO dancer. The gig may come with some awesome boots!
Happy birthday, Mayor!
LOVING the play on those hokey inspirational posters. I hate those things.
You are right to fear the three. But you've got the juice to get through it.
The Mayer W Bush photo is hysterical. I love him.
Oh God. I meant Mayor. I haven't had coffee yet.
Happy Birthday to the Mayor! Of course, with a nickname like The Mayor, power is foremost in mind.
Next photoshop assignment - you as cage dancer?
Touch my monkey!
AND HAPPY BIRFDAY TO THE MAYOR AND DANA!!!
They're both 3.
Sounds like far too much fun all round, and Happy Birthday.
Cheers
3 is about right to begin to formulate your plans for World Domination. Yes...3 is a good age...now as Dr. Evil will tell you the real turning point comes later..."At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritually shaved my testicles... There's nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking - I highly suggest you try it."
Yeah..well...anyway...take some pictures of this
Sprockets hotel...I wanna feel alone and yet smothered....
Have you touched the Monkey yet? Touch it! TOUCH THE MONKEY!...
That is too funny. Maybe wanting power has something to do with testosterone! Of course we know who really has all the power. :)
Happy big three Mayor! The whole piece of cake on the fork is priceless!
A three year old with a hunger for power! Scary. Very scary.
C'mon, you're in New Orleans. Get down to Bourbon St. and get some beads!!!
With Photoshopped pics for tomorrow, of course.
The Mayor has only just turned 3. Oy! I didn't realize that all this time you had two kids under the age of three. Oy.
Happy birthday, Mayor.
I am with Slouching Mom. I saw that picture and instantly liked your son. It is very important to appreciate cake.
Happy birthday to your son, and three isn't so bad. In retrospect. After the wine has dulled your senses and you've forgotten.
oh happy birthday little one!
You are in my hometown this week! Go get yourself a beignet at Cafe Du Monde, please
The Mayor's taking it to the Big Time. Nice. Is it wrong that I think somehow the world would be better off?
And to you: Get up offa that thing!
happy birthday!!!
I love picture #3, with the speared cake. Go Mayor!
My favorite Mayor line: "I'm a pirate.
And then later when I asked him whether he was a pirate he said "No!!! I'm three."
My bad, Mayor.
Anyway, have you had oysters at The Pearl yet? Have you eaten bananas foster at Commanders? We need a menu report once you get out of your dancer girl cage, you hussy.
Happy Birthday. You can try for power, but I plan for my daughter to take over the world way before you can. MWAHHHHH!!!
You must be staying in the Quarter.
Vive La Nouvelle Orleans! The only place in the world where it is perfectly okay to drink before, during and after a hurricane. You know, cause the water is no good. Yeah! Yeah!
Happy Birthday to Mayor.....
Wow as for your working vacation....sounds like fun.....
Happy Monday! Now work that body....
Happy Birthday, Mayor! Love that pic eating cake. It's priceless.
New Orleans has that affect on people, doesn't it? (And I really do mean affect, not effect!)
Love it! Happy b-day to the Mayor. And, btw, you are so right to be afraid of 3. Be very afraid.
Happy belated birthday to your kid, who totally resembles my friend Matt Black. Totally. (Do you have something to confess? :D )
Enjoy your hotel!
Happy happy b-day to the Mayor!! He's so cute! And that cake looks delish! What are you doing to this preggo woman!
And New Orleans? I'm so jealous! Go have some crawfish and beignets for me!! Yes, all I can think of is food!
Well, I'd rather have the Mayor and others from your house in charge than some of our current governing officials.
And to paraphrase Dieter, you stories NEVER become tiresome!
Hahahaha! Power! What a funny little guy.
Happy 3rd Birthday, Mayor!
Love the pics!
Warning: At 3, he already HAS the power. He just hasn't learned (yet) to wield it effectively. In public. While your MIL is in town ...
Happy Bday hot stuff! Yo mama rocks! Gracie's birthday party was this past weekend too. But I haven't downloaded the camera yet. Too busy unpacking bag upon bag of pink glittery stuff.
THE BARON says all work and no play makes J a dull girl. Take a break. Bust out that bikini. Hop in the cage. And dance the night away.
Happy birthday to the Mayor.
THE BARON
You're in New Orleans??? I'm so jealous. Go to the nearest Rue de la Course and have a double chocolate iced coffee for me, will ya?
Happy Birthday Mayor!!!
And as to the dancing in a bikini in a cage save that for Blogher when we all go out. LOL
Oh no! You gave birth to Dick Cheney!
Are you staying at the W? If so, don't miss Mother's right next store. The best Jambalaya. If not, get someone to point you in the right direction. It's not fancy, but it's delicious!!!
Have fun!
Happy Birthday Mayor and welcome to the Dark Side! I hope your Mama has stocked up on tranquilizers and wine like mine has.
-RJ
Happy birthday to the Mayor. And Power is a great objective...so is Glory.
My daughter was four before she stopped saying she was 'free years old.' Aaaah...those were the days.
Bossy was looking for your son among the other Democratic hopefuls participating in last night's debate, but alas - he probably ate too much of that DELISH cake. Happy Bday to kid and proud parents.
happy birthday mayor! Sounds like you have a leader on your hands. He'll make a great CEO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYOR!!!
I love it when I have to be all pro-fesh-un-ull for work... NOT!! My brain works much better in a slooooow gear!
:)
Happy Day Big Boy!
Happy Birthday Mayor! Three is fun. No wait, two is fun. Our family kinda does things backwards. Anyway, three SHOULD be fun. Especially if you get the power you're wishing for.
All the best
Happy (late) Birthday! Bring home some beads!
Happy birthday Mayor.
Now how old is Dana now...?
Happy birthday, Mayor! I didn't realize he was so close in age to the Ubergoober! They're only a few weeks apart. Wow! It must be the thing for them to be power hungry monsters. Goober is already plotting world domination. Looks like he'll have a partner... or a nemesis.
love it. love it all!
Feliz Cumpleanos, Senor Mayor!
or, Buon Natale, if you prefer!
Hahahahaha! Happy Birthday, Mayor!
I'm a lurker coming out of lurkdom to say: Lemme guess, you're staying at the W?
I'm been enjoying your blog for a couple of months now. Keep it coming..... ;)
ACK! THREE! Which leads to the horrors of FOUR!
I'm also out for work, in TN. Ah, the lovely sound of listening to music and reading blogs at midnight....
I love my job.
Happy birthday to his honor.
Enjoy the fancy schmancy hotel. I can only imagine my own reaction - I'd either be the gal inadvertently walking around with the paper seat cover tucked into the back of my skirt or saying embarrassing and awkward things to people who seem to belong, pointing out (in my own special way) how unfit for such hip and fancy places I've become.
Please give New Orleans a hug from me.
Happy 3 year, Mayor! Those big hands are so funny!
Glad you are living it up in the fancy hotel. You'll have to have someone take some photos of you dancing in the bikini! They have extras on hand like toothbrushes in the cheap hotels, right?
Dear oh the joys. Boys. and power. Oh dear oh dear. I'm sure he felt invincible after eating all that yummy cakey sugary frosting!
Happy Belated Birthday, Mayor!
Hope you enjoy your fancy hotel!
Happy birthday, Mayor!
Life begins at 3.
:-)
That Mayor is one cute kid. World domination will be his. Oh yes, it will be his.
Enjoy your time in N'Awlins. Eat some gumbo and wash it down with a Hurrican for me, 'kay?
Happy Birthday Mayor!!!
Happy Belated Birthday Mayor!!
Do not fear the Three, embrace the Three. Three is kind of fun. Sure, there will be melt-downs and regressions. There will also be incredible cuteness.
You have got some serious mad photo shop skillz!!
Happy birthday Mayor! He is one cute kid.
He is adorable!!!! Happy third birthday Mayor!
Happy Birthday Mayor! I like a man who knows how to bite off a big piece of cake! Mmm...cake!
Happy Birthday Mr. Mayor, I hope you get man hands and power.
I LOVE New Orleans. Best Food ever, bring me back some jumbalaya. MMMMMMMMM
The big three! Happy Birthday, Mayor! Here's where the real fun begins ...
Hahahahahaha!!! Sooo funny! I can totally see you in that cage...totally haha
Happy Birthday Pres...er..Mayor!
And I thought if I ate carrots I'd have super powers, turns out I had them at the age of three. (According to the Mayor of course.)
You'll know if the hotel got ya if you start using some horrible fake accent (happened to me in Chicago, tragic sight really)
work that body!!! and happy birthday to the Mayor-- may he use his powers for the good!
I'll come dance with you. Forget the bikini, though, I'm wearing my miracle suit:)
Darling picts!
HAPPY BITHDAY, MAYOR!
Happy (belated) birthday little man!
Aw, happy birthday! Toopweets turned 1 on Friday; I hope when he's 3, he's as polished and professional as the Mayor. ;)
Well Happy B Day to The Mayor!
OMG, I said it before and I'll say it again: I'd vote for the Mayor!
And that photo of him taking a ginormous bite of cake should win a prize somewhere.
Happy Birthday to the Mayor! 3 is a lovely age. Really. It is. And then at four they go back to being shits.
And we love teamwork around here.
Happy Birthday Mayor!!!
Carrie
