We had a fun day today. All of our food and activities were decided by the birthday boy.
We started our morning with blueberry pancakes and sausage, immediately followed by PRESENTS. A live demonstration of proper form when weilding a sword was given...
...followed by a live duel right in the kitchen.
The party then moved to a local bowling alley...
(stupid rain ruined our plans for the park)
...where both Dad and Miss Mary each bowled a STRIKE!
After working up an appetite over the course of the afternoon, our boy decided that he wanted to eat his birthday supper at McDonald's (Lord, help me...McDonald's?!) and then we'd come home to eat cake and ice cream while enjoying his favorite Nickelodean TV programs til bedtime.
I may poke fun at all of this, but I have to tell you, it really was a fun family day. I can't believe my little guy is 5. He's developed into a fun little person with real likes, dislikes, interests and opinions. I love him like crazy and can't wait to see how the next 5 years go.
Happy birthday baby boy!
