My Little Man Turned 5!!

My little man turned 5 today...

at 6:50 this morning he literally was right in my face with this huge grin and told me it was his birthday! Normally when he wakes up that early I tell him that it is too early and he can lay with me..but not this morning.. we had to get the celebration started early! After a quick cup of coffee while he watched the Disney Channel, we were ready to go....First on the birthday boy's agenda for the morning....coffee cake for breakfast!

Then we were off to the dollar store after we dropped off Coop at preschool! I was thinking more along the lines of Starbucks but he wanted to pick out a toy! The toy of choice this morning... dinosaur capsules that grow in water (update: They have been in there all day and they don't even come close to resembling a dinosaur)!

After that we went on a razor scooter / walk around the neighborhood! I should have worn my running shoes - you should see him fly down the hills on that thing!
After school let out, we were off to Burlington to Chuck E Cheese! The great thing about this Chuck E Cheese it is completely empty during the week and when you go as early as we do, there is usually a bunch of free tickets hanging out of the machines because they have just turned them on...yes, I am that mom!

Connor was able to open one present today, only because my girlfriend felt so bad for him that he wasn't going to be opening up any gifts for two more weeks - he received a Star Wars the Clone Wars figure! Thanks Brandi and Bryce!

Our last stop was Target (it was for the boyz I swear) where they each picked out their favorite pajamas - Star Wars the Clone Wars of course! At 7 pm both boyz were fast asleep from their fun filled day...Connor no doubt is dreaming of the presents he is going to open! Happy Birthday Connor....Sweet Dreams!
