Today we went to my parents to celebrate both Rodney and mine’s birthday. Mine was last week and my dad was down in Texas. Rod’s is next week and both my parents will be gone then. So this week end was the best time to do it. We also are making things smaller this year. So we are having no parties for the kids like we did in the past. We did celebrate none the less.
Amy and my mom took the boys to see a movie (Underdog). Wile I took a nap in the La-Z-Boy in my parents living room. After the movie and my great nap, we had dinner the open presents. Rod got some moon sand, a rocket, and some school clothing. I got some new t-shirts and some much need new shoes.
We all had fun and I was a good day. Some times the low key gathering can be the most fun.
Today is Rodney’s 7th birthday, and this makes his 5th birthday with us. (he came to live with us just before he turned 3) He was fighting a little bit of a cold today but still enjoyed him self. We took him to the mall to go to the Build-A-Bear Workshop®. We had a coupon for half of a bear on his birthday. He really wanted the Cheetah form WWF (that’s the World Wildlife Foundation not the World Wrestling federation) He liked it because Build-A-Bear Workshop® donates $1 from the sale of Cheetah to World Wildlife Fund to protect endangered animals and their habitats. I really show how big of a heart Rod has. To top it of He really wanted to get a wheelchair for his Cheetah. So he could be like mommy and help some one in a wheelchair to. We are so proud of him he really is growing to be a nice young man.
This is a toy Rodney got for his brithday from my brother last week
