We woke up to a cheerful 5 year old reminding us it's his birthday. The surprise decor in his room and downstairs made him feel special.
Everything was Star Wars themed of course. Even the pancakes.
We picked up his best friend across the street and hit the road to go to Lego-land.
When we reached the door, two
bouncers employees told us they sold out of tickets that morning. Mind you it was only 10:30am!!!! Kids were screaming everywhere but "our" two boys did great. Parents came from out of state for this place and were turned down. The boys just said "let's go somewhere else". At one point as I was frantically typing stuff on my phone Daniel said "you'll come to my birthday party Kevin right?". I got teary eyed and thought quickly of places we could go. Ryan kept me sane because at that point I would have been ready to fly to Disney for a day to make up for this craziness. Note to self...
Spring break is not a good time to try to go to places like this. A couple miles away was a place that totally made up for it and actually worked out even better. There were so many kids but these two stuck together. We heard every 10 seconds, "Where is Daniel, Where is Kevin?" They are so good together and just adore each other.
Pump it up delivered!
Daddy joined in on the fun. We even got to see a Bunny.

| Get a load of the posing face. LOL. |
We ate lunch at Chick Fil A where the boys climbed like they were still not tired. We knew we had to give them more energy so after lunch ice cream sundaes were served.
Because it just wasn't enough we went to another jump place. Jump Zone.
 |
| I paid $2 to stick these two in a tornado contraption. As much as Daniel looks like he's smiling he didn't enjoy it as much as the picture might suggest. Kevin, well, yes he did enjoy it and that's probably what made D smile. |
4 hours later we dropped off his friend and got to relax for a whole 2 hours before our immediate family arrived.
 |
| Even Michael got in on the Star Wars action. Can you find him? |

The little guy was exhausted...
He still stayed up with daddy long enough to see him put together ONE of his ships.
The rest...
well he settled for sleeping with boxes. He dragged them all upstairs. He knows what's on each one by heart. I know this because we cuddled together and looked at them in detail. He's 5 but still wanted to cuddle with me. Bless his heart.
So there you have it, my first born, a 5 year old. I did good, wasn't a nervous wreck about anything. I'm glad we kept it simple this year. It let me focus on my baby for an entire day and not run around like a nut. It was a good day.
Today, he already told me, "mommy I'm going to be 6 next". SLOW DOWN....
This little guy turned 5 months on the 27th!
Yay!
Today, he went on a nice walk, FINALLY!! He cried at first but then took a nice nap.
Michael you are so much fun now (not to be confused with still a handful).
You smile and love people. You are NOSY!!!! You have to see everyone that is talking. You'll twist your whole body just to see the action. You love new places, you just love to people watch (no idea where you get that from! HA).
You wear a size 2 diaper.
Your stats: 14lbs 9oz and 25 inches long.
You still love your brother and he just adores you. Your head just turns everywhere he does. You love standing on your little legs. You love being sung and read to. Grandma M loves to perform for you. ;) Bunia practically loses her voice singing to you all day long. You are loved my angel.
Your eyes are super blue and your hair depending on the light changes from red to brownish blondish. Same unique color as your brother.
You love bath time but you are a wiggle worm. I have to scoot you up all the time. You are still a mover and a shaker. Happy 5th month birthday baby boy!
And for good measure here are my boys dyeing eggs today.
