My middle child turns 7 today. We had a family dinner and celebration on Sunday night before dad left town for his business trip. I made him a Jawa cake. He loves Jawa's! So we sprinkled the chocolate cake with yellow sand candies and placed on his lego jawa's and some of the droids on top (he placed them). After a dinner of homemade pizza on the shaded patio, we opened presents. We had decided to pool together money with my parents and give our oldest an early birthday gift and our 7 year old a gift together...a Wii. But we just gave one of the Wii games to the 7 year old first and when he opened it, we pretended that we had accidentally gotten the wrong game...having meant to get one for the xbox we already have. We said we'd have to exchange it. He gave a 1/2 smile and said okay, sliding the game back over to me.
But then we pulled out the big gift and his jaw dropped. They love it.
Then, on Monday we had his real b-day party. We did it early because the weather was supposed to be hot then and rainy today (which it was). He had a water party. And we were sure glad we had the shaded patio! Have I mentioned how much I love it? He told me it was the best birthday party ever.
So for his official birthday today, I made him cinnamon rolls (quick pillsbury ones) and took him to Burger King for lunch...just the 2 of us (checked him out of school). He's had a great week.

Happy Birthday Spencer!! I can't believe how much older he looks with his new haircut.
Looks like it was a great party. I can see why you said you were so tired afterward.
Kids and water = lots of fun! love the picture of him with his cake. Also the expressions on both faces as they opened the Wii. Who is that old woman sitting on the couch? She looks like she had a really bad day.
