My sweet little boy turned 5 yesterday and I was a slacker mom who didn't do a blog post. If it make things any better, I didn't post because we were busy celebrating and now I have pictures I can share!
Wesley started his birthday with a special birthday breakfast of hash browns and a chocolate donut. Note I said "a special birthday breakfast," not "a healthy birthday breakfast."
We headed off to church and after worship told Wesley that he could pick anything he wanted to do for the rest of the day (as long as it wasn't being mean to his brother) and he could pick any place he wanted to go for lunch. Of course, giving a five year old that kind of power meant that we ended up having lunch at McDonalds, which is a preschooler's version of fine dining.
After our gourmet lunch, we thought Wesley would want to go to the pool or the park or COSI or something fun like that. Nope. He wanted to go home and watch "Aristocats" (one of his presents), then go to Grandma and Grandpa H.'s to play before we had dinner with them. So that's what we did.
We had a really nice evening with Grandma and Grandpa H. Aunt Susan and Uncle Kirk and Grandma W. came over too. Aunt Carol even drove down from Mansfield.

Duane created a wonderful dog and cat cake for the birthday boy.

Spitting on the cake - I mean blowing out the candles.

Wesley got one other present that he was completely head over heels about. Remember how Wesley used to hide in a corner and be shy about opening gifts? No more! He flipped over the DQ Blizzard Maker he got! He has seen commericals for it and said that he's "always wanted one." He even kissed the box.
Of course, we had to try the Blizzard Maker right away. Now for those of you who haven't experienced the joy of the Blizzard Maker, let me explain the concept. It's a mini hand-crank ice cream maker and you have to crank it for ten minutes to get two little cups of ice cream to sprinkle candy on. But Wesley loved it and pronounced the Blizzards delicious.
