Well the 5 year old had quite the birthday. Wednesday started out with presents (an itouch like his big bro!)
Then it was off to Jacobs award ceremony. He got the math award. Go Jacob!
Next up was a trip to the Nike store to pick out something. I had some time to kill and thought it would be fun. I assumed he'd pick out a t-shirt or something but I was wrong. He wanted wristbands and a flat brim hat! I tried and tried to talk him into something else but the dude knows what he likes. Thuggin!
After that we met up with his birthday buddy, Cole for some sand and splash park. The new Allen 'beach' is an awesome place for kids......and mom's! (Michelle and I found a great spot on the Gloria's patio overlooking the spray park. Corona Lights anyone?)
Cheers!
Birthday cake! It was like a caramel flan....(we were at a Mexican place)...Parker took one bite and said, ewww, gross! lol
After the spray park was straight to the pool to swim with his friends. We stayed there for about an hour and came home to get ready for dinner. Parker "wanted to eat with chopsticks" so we went to PFChangs. Yum!! We wandered around the Villages at Watters Creek before we ate for a minute and then it was off to eat with chopsticks.
We brought him a cake so his friends could sing again. Happy Birthday Parker!
We got home at about 930, showered and threw everyone into the bed. The next day was field day for Jacob and Parker's birthday party so we had a big day!
We celebrated Parker and Cole's birthday together and Cole's family's neighborhood pool. We have a lot of the same friends, and since they have the same birthday we thought it would be fun....and we were right! Parker requested a DJ and I was very happy to oblige. A boy after my own heart! The guy that cuts my hair is not only super awesome, but is a DJ in a
Beastie Boys tribute band. I called him and he said that he usually doesn't do stuff like this but that he wanted to do it. Love him! He made the party so fun and cool. Parker was mesmerized and said "I cant wait to be a DJ when I get big!".
We think there were about 75 people there. 20 pizzas disappeared in minutes and the cake that was supposed to serve 75-100 people didn't have a crumb left. It was a great time. We have the greatest friends! Happy Birthday again P Diddy and CoCo!!
We came home and opened presents (OMG was bigger than Christmas!), and finally got the kids down at about 11 pm. We were all exhausted! Today was Jacobs last day of school, so after Parker, Eden and I attended his end of year party we came home so he could skateboard!! A few of our best friends went in together to get him all the skateboarding necessities 9a skateboard was what he wanted the most). He got a skateboard, a ramp, helmet and some cool pads (and they threw some DJ headphones in there as well! ;)) He is in heaven!
Thank you to everyone who made Parker's birthday so special. I think in my next life I want to come back as Parker!
