Birthday Boy

Jacob celebrated his 6th birthday on the 26th. It is so hard to believe it has been that long. We had Jacob's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese on Saturday. We had an amazing turn out with 17 kids. Jacob's friend Justin has the same birthday and ended up with their parties on the same day as well. Luckily they were not at the same time and almost all of the children were at both. What an exhausting day!

My friend Aneliesse and I were hauling the hooligans around. We had such a good time. I am so happy to see Jacob developing a close friendship with Drevin. They are so good for each other. We sent Ellyn home with Daddy after Jacob's party. I was sure she would be asleep in the car, but she didn't even take a nap Saturday at all. After we dropped the boys off at the afternoon party, Aneliesse and I found ourselves alone, no kids, no men, nowhere to go. What were we to do? We thought we might squeeze in a movie but they were all starting too late. I called the wonderfully sweet hubby who agreed to pick up the kids from the party and take them to our house so we could see a movie. Wow!!! A real chick flick without boys trying to figure out why they are suffering through. I haven't had so much fun in a really long time.

Jacob has also decided he needed a shaving set. He used his own money for the Transformer Shaving Kit and has been shaving almost daily. I think it is hilarious! These pictures are so sweet. Whatever made him think he needed to shave I don't know. I tried explaining that he didn't have wiskers yet, but he simply told me that it made his skin smooth. What was I thinking?
