Kyle's Day

*** The Final Update for today ***

When Todd got home from work today we asked Kyle where a 5 year old boy might just LOVE to eat dinner.

And he chose... drum roll please... BURGER KING!!! Ahhh nothing like the fine cuisine of Burger King to celebrate turning another year older.

Dinner was followed by a shopping trip to Wal-Mart where Kyle was fitted with a brand new Spiderman bike! Julianna and Drew just had to join Kyle out in front of our house with their bikes. Drew hasn't ridden his bike in so long that I was laughing to see how "small" the bike had gotten. It still had training wheels on it! He has never learned to ride without them. He scoots everywhere on his scooter (hahaha... my cooter, my pooter... that's a shout out to you Emilie!) and probably hasn't tried his bike in over a year. We took off the training wheels and WOW did he learn fast! I'll have to get better pictures of Drew on his bike tomorrow when it is actually light out.

Anyhoo... back to Kyle!

And when bike fun was all done... inside we went for ice cream! Yummy!
The kid party is Saturday so the cake will make an appearance then. The theme this year is Transformers. Should be interesting!

*** Update***
Kyle wanted to carry his own lunch to the playground for our birthday picnic. He got this little lunch backpack for his birthday last year and loves to carry his own stuff around in it.

Julianna and Drew enjoying lunch together!

Jake insists on feeding himself these days. Here he is feeding himself a peanutbutter sandwich. NO JELLY!! (Mommy does not like the mess!)

Just hanging out! What a cool dude, huh?

Have I ever shown you the royal canine? Here she is! Watching over us carefully :)

Don't you just love the static from slides?

Julianna and Kyle towering above me.

ORIGINAL POST:

How did my third born and middle son get to be 5 already?

Seems like yesterday that we were moving into this house and waiting for Kyle to make his appearance.

Kyle has been SO excited to turn 5. He started asking 4 months ago, "How many days till my birthday?" At first it was one hundred and something days, then sixty some days... the excitement grew all summer as he kept asking and the numbers kept getting smaller.

Finally last week he couldn't stop giggling when I told him he had less than 10 days left!

Last night I asked him what a five year old wanted to do on his birthday.

His answer?? A picnic!! Of course!!

And of course cinnamon rolls for breakfast! No birthday is complete in our home without cinnamon rolls on the "celebrate plate" for breakfast!

Sooo... stay tuned! I will be adding pictures all day :)

(does that make you happy Meredith?)
