Happy Birthday Joshua!!

Well this week my baby turned 5. I can't believe how fast time goes by! On Monday we decided to take the family to Chuck e Cheeses for lunch. Joshua has been wanting to go really bad and for Christmas Great Grandma Gray gave each kid 100 tokes for there. That was a great gift, thanks so much!! We spent 3 hours there playing games and eating pizza and having special treats. I even got into playing the games. When we left Alyssa picked a necklace and ring with her tickets she won. Brendyn got a paint by numbers dinosaur, which he was really happy about. Joshua got a Ninga turtle, he is so into that movie right now. (Every night before bed he watches a little bit of that movie.)

Wed. was his actual birthday, because we had speech that day he decided to bring everyone donuts. Then after speech he got to pick where we had lunch. Where did he pick.....that's right McDonald's! James and I are so sick of that place but because it was his birthday we said nothing and just enjoyed watching them all play. That afternoon we went to the library and they got to check out books and one video each. They love going to the library. They also got computer time, which they really like because they have activities we don't have at home. When we were done there Joshua wanted spaghetti for dinner so I stopped by the store and got his favorite bread to go with it. Well we have to pass Pizza Hut on the way home and he said "mommy I changed my mind I want Pizza Hut". So I turned around and that is what we had for dinner. I am so glad his Birthday is over! I don't think I could stand eating out another meal.

For his Birthday he got a spiderman comforter, a picture frame that says future fireman(thats one of the things he wants to be when he grows up), a green tractor (because of the song) and a video camera. Instead of a cake he wanted cupcakes that had Thomas on them. Which surprised us because he doesn't really care for Thomas anymore. For His Birthday party next weekend he wants a spiderman cake. That sounds more like him. So he did pretty well I think. I will try to post pictures later because the computer still doesn't like my memory card. I also am writing in blue because that is his favorite color right now. Happy Birthday Joshua!!! We love you lots.

One more thing everyday now he says "I can do what ever I want because it's my Birthday". The first couple times it was funny now we just remind him that even on his Birthday he can't do what ever he wants. I can see why he says that because for that day he gets to make the decisions (small ones) and none of the other kids can say anything. Kids can be so funny.
