Five Already

William was so excited for his birthday this year. All year he has been asking how long until August and once we got to August on the calendar he kept counting the days. He was very excited to tell me what he wanted to eat for his birthday and what kind of cake he wanted. Of course he said that the best part of his birthday was going to be the fact that he starts school right after his birthday. Here he is at breakfast. He chose Swedish pancakes. He was very excited about his game and said he couldn't wait to put it in the closet. That is where we keep the games and when he asks to play a game he will ask for a closet game or a computer game.
He is wearing a pirate patch because he picked pirate plates at the dollar store. He had a pirate pinata too but I don't have a picture of that. Maybe I'll put video of the pinata on later. Here is his new art set.

And the giant coloring pages to go with the art set. I'm guessing the art things were a hit because he has been coloring and drawing non stop since he got them. He also got an apron from Grandma Luke. He was pretty excited to get one just like Mommy`and Daddy. I don't think Caitlyn has caught on to what she might be getting for her birthday. William also got toys from Uncle Ian and Aunt Becky and from some friends.


William decided he wanted a dog cake this year. I bet you were thinking it would be a pirate theme, but you would have been wrong. Grandma Luke gave us a book of cut up cakes so I let him look through and pick one. He wanted it to look like Bolt, so this was my attempt. I have to confess, we bought the icing.

Here he is blowing out the candles. He had an awesome birthday, that's what he told me anyway. Now he just can't wait to go to school. Of course, he is more excited for the second day because the first day parents get to go find out about school but the second day he gets to go by himself. It should be an adventure.
