Birthday!

We had a great time for Lemur and Mister's birthday. They were so excited to be 5. The most exciting thing for mom is that Lemur now will take himself potty without having me "help" or observe. I cannot tell you how happy I am about this. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to be going to school with him next fall so he would be able to use the toilet. Thank heaven he has decided that finally a 5-year-old can do this simple task on his own.

Lemur wanted a rocket cake, so that was what he got. Mister wanted a circle chocolate cake, until he saw the rainbow chip cake mix in the storage room, and then he wanted a circle rainbow cake, with purple icing and white trim. Okay. Purple is okay for a boy's 5th birthday, right?

Lighting candles

Smile, Lemur!


Get ready to blow out the candles!

Mister got a "car he can control," which is a remote control ATV thingy.

Lemur got an "army truck" complete with action figures and miniature weapons. They also got some Wii games that they have been asking for, some books, and a few other toys. They had a great time, and are loving being 5!

Purple is fine. If he's 25 and still asking for purple, that's when you set your foot down. Hope they had a great day. We love you.
