Today is Noah's birthday. We celebrated with family on Sunday and made a bunch of homemade pizza and of course, had cake. Noah was thrilled to have Me-me's memory card for her gamecube (so he could play all the advanced levels on Monkey Ball) and to have all of his Aunts and Uncles come and adore him. Today he came running into our room and asked us if he could open his castle now. That simple statement was enough to tell us he'd peeked in the back of the car and had seen his present there. So, I told him I had had to take it back because he peeked and that we didn't have any presents for him. (I know, I'm a meanie. But afterall, he was the one who peeked.) Of course Noah burst into tears until we convinced him that he should run downstairs and see if we were telling the truth or lying. He happily returned to accuse us of lying and asked once again if he could open his presents. This time we said "yes."
He opened his "castle" (Dragamont's Castle by Imaginenext) and checked out his new bike complete with water bottle holder and brakes on the handlebars. Then we had breakfast cake and after 2 catastrophes with the candles--managed to sing "Happy Birthday" and blow out three candles and a match. The rest of the morning I cleaned the kitchen (a much needed project) and did preschool with the boys. This week we are talking about the letter "W" and focusing on Wind. So we made pinwheels and played with a fan and some bubbles. A big hit with both boys. Then we had Waffles for lunch and took Noah's bike for a test drive and picked Hunter up at school. An Irish Band was playing up at the school later that afternoon so we re-joined Hunter's class and enjoyed an hour of irish music and dancing. Then I managed to fold some laundry (that I think has been in that basket for over a week now) and even got Denver to take a nap. Kak came over to play and Daddy got home early. A good day. I like good days.
