Little Man turns 7

We had a very fun filled weekend. Little man turned 7 and we had two Birthday parties. One on Saturday for his friends and one on Sunday for Family friends.

The theme Little Man picked was Army. So we did a little boot camp. It was so much fun. When we gave out the invitations we gave every boy a pair of camo shorts to wear to the party. All the boys showed up to Fort Mortensen ready for boot camp. We checked in all the boys by weighing course, them and measuing thier height. We then gave them their equipment, Helmets and dog tags. Then they did their fitness test. One we where sure that they where all in top notch shape we did a obstical followed by a water battle. It was so much fun. Little Mans favorite part was that it was all boys. Even his sisters where not there. We went out to dinner on Saturday with Little Man and the girls. We let him decided where we would eat. He picked Red Robin becasue he knew they would sing to him. It was pretty funny. He kept looking around for them to come sing to him. We had a good time.

Sunday we did it all over again. This time though it was mostly adults. Much easier on me. We had family friends over for dinner. I enjoyed visiting with our friends. And as I have done for the last 5 birthdays I made homemade pizza, Little Mans favorite for dinner. Then of course we had cake and Ice Cream again. I made two identical cakes. One for each party. However Saturdays cake was two layers and Sundays was 3 layers. Little Man got some great toys. We havn't seen him much now. He is busy playing with his Pokemon toys and his tamagotchi. He bought the Tomagotchi with his birthday money. He felt so grown up getting to pick out his own toys.

All said and done we had a great weekend. It was a lot of fun to see Little Man spend time with his friends. Let me tell you when you have 6 boys in your house at one time you realize that most of the stuff you kid does is the same thing that all little boys do. i.e. talking loud, funny noises, jokes that are not funny to adults but sure to crack up all kids. We really enjoyed our time with our kids this weekend.
