Scott's real Birthday

Here is the sad truth. I was just done with it being Scotty's birthday. I didn't want to hear him ask for more presents again. Or ask if his friends could come over again and bring him more presents. I feel like both my boys are getting to be really spoiled. So I'm putting my foot down and I'm not buying them stuff when we go to the store. Usually I will let them get a small toy or a candy treat if they have a big enough smile on their face when they do the asking. But no more. If they want to buy stuff they need to do their chores and earn some money.

Anyways... We had to do something for his actual birthday. He said he wanted a whale cake so we made him this:

 I forgot to give Mike his fork at the same time as the cake.

It was a very easy plan. I was glad that he wanted that. I also let him pick his dinner. This year he wanted pizza. So we made pizza and I let him decorate it himself : ) We did have a fun little party for him.

Also Grandma Anderson sent him some money for his birthday so we went out today and bought him this really cool block set. I think it is the stage in between Lego and mega blocks. They were called trio, I had never seen them before but they remind me of those square blocks I played with in elementary school when we were learning to count and do math. They are really cool. I really like that they come with a book that is easy to read and follow for Scott. At the top of the page it tells you what parts you need so Scott has to recognize the number written out, then count it out and find the pieces and then figure out how to put it together. So I think it is going to make him smarter which is also cool. Mikey really liked them too. Yeah and they were fun for me too. I like that they really snap together so you can play with the thing you made when you are done. He also got a Bakugon toy. His new obsession. So thanks Grandma and Grandpa you got Scott some really cool toys this year for his birthday. We will try to call again to say thank you in person.

Does this face remind you of anyone else?

These were our first cherry tomatoes : ) They were yummy.
