Well, my boy is now 4! I can't believe how quickly the kids are growing up. He's so excited to be 4. For the past 4 days or so he's been getting up every morning asking if today could be his birthday. It's amazing how long 4 days is to a little kid. I found it funny that his actual birthday was the only day he didn't ask if it could be his birthday. He happened to be the first one up and he came into our room where we sang him Happy Birthday. We sang 'Happy Birthday' spontaneously throughout the day. I think he enjoyed it.
Anyway, let me do a quick recap of the days events. We woke up to a beautiful morning. It was Presidents Day so Kenny and Sarah Kate were both home. Kenny went to basketball at the church at 7:00 and I got the kids ready and then went to the church for exercise class at 8:30. The kids had a blast playing in the gym with Daddy while I took advantage of the wonderful weather and went for a walk with the other exerciser's. When we got home at 10:00 it was 64 degrees outside. We were so pleased Ben's birthday was going to be such a warm day.
We got showered and ready for the day, gave the kids some lunch, and then put them down for an early nap. (OK, I tried to put them down for a nap, but Grandma and Grandpa called on the webcam for the first time so I got the Ben and Sarah up and then after that neither one of them could sleep. They were too excited for the party that was coming.) While they were 'pretending' to sleep Kenny went and got the last present and I finished the cake. We then got Sarah Kate up to help decorate and wrap presents. At around 1:30 we were set.
Before we knew it Ben and Hannah were awake and we were opening presents. Ben got a lot of cool things. He got Barricade (the Transformer) from Hannah. This is want he wanted most of all. He had been asking about it non stop for about a week. Grace gave him a Spiderman punching bag to help him with Tae Kwon Do. Sarah chose a pair of dart guns. She chose it all by herself and was so happy when Ben loved it.
Shooting Mommy.
Hannah liked shooting herself.
Mommy and Daddy gave Ben the last of the Star Wars movies. He was very excited and had really been looking forward to getting it. I guess it's a good thing we got it. We also got him a bike. We were especially happy with the warm weather because we knew Ben was getting the bike, however, as soon as he started unwrapping presents it started to rain and it rained and rained. So as much as he liked the bike he could only ride it around the house a little. Never fear he was able to watch his Star Wars movie instead. He was pleased.
