What-What?! Week of May 13th

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

We're not doing anything special, other than just sitting around.

In other news, my youngest has turned six!
 
Osric asked for battle mechs for his birthday cake

Excited for his gifts!


This is the first year that I haven't had to read his birthday card for him.  He's gotten so grown up!

  Monster truck toy, with foam car to crush


He specifically asked for this book -- "The Truth About Hippos".  I am so glad that our kids love reading as much as they do.

Board game -- Let's Go Fishing.  I remember playing this as a kid and liking it.  Unfortunately, Osric is not quite coordinated enough for it yet, so it's a bit frustrating.

And another game -- Yeti in My Spaghetti.   This is a bit like Ker-plunk or pick up sticks, where you have to pull out the noodles without letting the yeti fall in the bowl.  The kids and I played a few rounds of it, and it is actually quite fun.

An Imaginext AT-ST.  He has very much wanted this one -- he's gone and looked at it nearly every time we're gone to Target for months now.


Playing with his new toys



We used the sparkler candles again for Osric's birthday.   It took a lot of work to get all the candles blown out!
