Can you believe that Blake is five!!! He has been anticipating a birthday for many weeks now. I love living a birthday in the eyes of my boys because they are so excited! Blake got a DS, among other things. But I quickly learned that he'd have been happy with just the game and a free pass to play non-stop for the rest of his life. He loves that thing and has to be reminded to turn it off a lot. I'm on the verge of regretting the purchase...but have decided to look on the bright side and use it to my advantage as incentive. Note the "expensive" watch that he got...this replaced the one that he lost on Easter Sunday when the Easter Bunny visited. We had an extra special day because Grams Bailey, Jill, Jackson, and Bowen were visiting on his birthday.
We had a birthday party at a favorite park where we played giant soccer, water balloon relays, and the boys (no girls allowed!) got their own disc-shooting guns. We went to enjoy a yummy lunch only to find that we'd gotten punked! Someone had stollen our pizzas! Thank goodness for go-gurts, fruit, veggies, cake, and short attentions spans on things other than toys. The kids didn't blink an eye and the party went on with good times. Blake has lots of good friends and one of my favorite things is to watch him play and have fun wtih them.
Side note: Blake wanted a bowling lane cake. Random but cute. We stuck a cool sparkler candle in the middle. The kids look scared of the sparkler!
