Turning 5

On Tuesday the baby in our family turned 5 years old. He was very excited about his birthday and wanted to swim. This was the first time the kids were in the pool this year.

When the kids have birthdays I offer to make them anything they want for dinner. This year Andrew wanted to order pizza and he knew exactly where he wanted to get!
And he wanted this to drink!
As you can see it left one little boy smiling BIG!
We took cupcakes to bible study in the morning and with the left overs we made an "A" cake!
Oops... a little chocolate spill!
This may look like an ordinary play set to teh untrained eye BUT on the night of May 12th it was the kids hideout and camp out place. Andrew got a sleeping bag for his birthday and was ready to use it!
The pj's are on and they are ready to sleep! HA!
All tucked in!
The kids got "into" bed at 8:00 and there is no chance they were asleep before 10:00. At about 4 a.m. the wind picked up in a mighty way (seemed like rain was coming in). I called them inside when I heard a giggle and they went to their rooms and slept until 9:30 (Aubrey and Andrew) and 10:30 (Carter). Andrew had a fun birthday and we loved celebrating his life together!

That's it. I'm officially packing up Club Amaro and we're moving to the Rutledge House. You guys have too much fun over there! LOVED the pic of Andrew licking the frosting off his chest. Classic.

Happy Birthday Andrew!!
