Caleb had a week of birthday celebrating this year. His best friend's birthday is just 10 days before his, so we decided to do a joint birthday party in the middle of their birthdays. His friend chose to have a water party where they played with sprinklers, slip-n-slides and squirt guns. Then Caleb picked a Build-A-Bear party. So they had two birthday parties in one day. After Build-A-Bear, we had a "teddy bear picnic" at McDonald's. It was a fun (but long) day of celebrating.
Lydia helped make shark cupcakes for the party. We volunteered to bring cupcakes since Caleb is allergic to nuts. That way we knew they'd be safe. I like this new tradition of having the kids do all the work for birthday parties. :)
At the joint party:
The birthday boys - Caleb and his BFF
Then we headed to Build-A-Bear. Caleb picked a blue bear and dressed it in a dragon shirt and pants that had dragon flames on them. Because of this outfit, he named his bear Flames.
Playing in the germ-infested McDonald's Play Place. I can't stand this place, but the kids thought it was great, so I took them... and cringed the whole time. And washed them down the minute we got home.
Yet another celebration on his real birthday day. First, eating a chocolate muffin for breakfast on the traditional Green Birthday Plate. Later that day, his BFF invited him to McDonald's (again) for lunch.
Caleb picked his birthday dinner: bean and bacon soup and bread with nothing on it. (Weird. I think plain bread sounds icky, but that's what he wanted). He's having a picnic on a sheet in the living room. Kinda tricky to eat soup on a sheet, but whatever. And we had chocolate teddy bear cupcakes. (He loves bears if you haven't guessed. Just like his mommy.)
Katie loves parties and insisted that she sit by Caleb.
Now my "baby" is FIVE. Happy Birthday Caleb!!
