David chose what he wanted to do today for his fifth birthday. He requested waffles for breakfast. Then, he wanted to go to church to show his friends his lego star wars shirt (and no, it is not new). This shirt just exemplifies him so well right now! First of all, it is brown--his favorite color. It is long-sleeved, but who cares if it is over 100 degrees outside??? He loves legos. And currently he is loving playing the Wii "Lego Minia Jones" (Indiana Jones) and Lego Star Wars with his Daddy.
After playtime at church (and a brief workout for me), we went to Walmart to pick up some frosting for his cake--just did not feel like making from scratch this time-- as well as he got to pick out his lunch. He wanted a lunchables. He ate that with a banana. Snooze time this afternoon and for the first time in a while, he just played quietly in his room the whole time until I called him downstairs to help make his cake.
He requested cupcakes instead of cake so we made 14 vanilla cupcakes with strawberry shortcake mix in the frosting. The flavor was scrumptious (thanks 12 cent moneymaker from Duncan Hines!), but the color was not so masculine. IT did turn the icing into a nice pink color. We added some green food coloring to try and attempt his favorite brown but ended up with a dull gray instead. Oh well...it was far more livened up by the colorful sprinkles on top.
When Michael got home we had a celebration. We did everything backwards. First, we opened presents. David got a pirate book from Grammy and Grandpa. (we had fun reading tonight). He got some McQueen cars from us, two lego bible DVDs, some Angry Birds fruit snacks, and then for good measure (for all the sweets) some kid's toothpaste, and two light-up toothbrushes.
Then we went outside for his last big gift. A scooter! He had been asking for this for about a year and we finally got him one about 6 months ago and then stored it all these months. It took him a few minutes after rushing outside to figure out what his gift was, but when he did, he excitedly tried it out--rather skillfully too for someone who has never really driven/ridden one.
We came back inside for cupcakes. He adeptly blew out the candle and we all digged in and enjoyed a cupcake. (even Abigail--who was not pictured below)
After dessert we had David's dinner request, Macaroni and Cheese. At least, he and I did while the girl's complained and Daddy left to go out to eat for Bible study.
Time to watch his new DVDs and then off to bed. What a swell birthday! Suddenly, you are well out of the toddler/preschool age and on to becoming a young man!
