We’ve had a busy week which ends with this guys big Birthday number 6!

We took the boys to Disneyland on Tuesday for their Birthday since they went back on-track yesterday. We had a fun day! We found out from some friends that if you go there for your Birthday, that you should go to the City Hall, let them know, and they give you a special Birthday button to wear all day. It’s lots of fun for the kids because people working there (as well as guests) will tell you “Happy Birthday” all day long.

This time around our favorite ride was Buzz Lightyear. I’ve decided that that ride just RULES!! For those who don’t know, it is based on Toy Story 2. The story of the ride is that you are a Space Ranger helping Buzz bring down Zurg. You ride in a “car” that has two laser blasters; as you go thru the ride you blast various “Z”s and score points. Our boys love this ride, and I have to admit that I love it, too! A teenager behind us described it perfectly to his friends as a “giant video game.” The boys both came home with Buzz Lightyear blasters that shoot foam arrows as their present this year.

Today we plan to have some cupcakes, which I think I’ve decided to decorate in red, white and blue – but I might change my mind, and Owen will get to go pick his Birthday balloon. This is a tradition I started when we only had Perrin. I take them to a local party supply store and they get to pick any balloon in the store. They both love balloons and this makes it a special treat. Owen is already excited to go and pick his out!

Perrin is also testing for his yellow belt in TaeKwonDo today, so we have a full day ahead of us!

Hope you all have a great Friday!! Tomorrow is the weekend! 😀
