Today was Jacob’s 5th birthday. We gave him his present, the playhouse (in case you haven’t been paying attention), yesterday evening. It’s not quite done, but it’s close enough that we were ok with giving it to him. Hopefully we can wrap it up this weekend. He really seemed to like it (he was grinning from ear to ear), but he couldn’t reconcile the fact that it was his. He kept saying, “but, where are we going to keep the garbage cans?”
This evening, we had a party in his honor. Most of the family came over around supper time and we ordered pizza and wings and had the requisite cake and ice cream. Batman was the theme this year.
Jacob got a ton of great gifts (the kid always makes a haul). And best of all, most of them are for the outside, so we won’t have to cram any more toys in his already overstuffed bedroom.
