Happy Birthday, C!

Today my little boy turned 7! It's so hard to believe that I have a 7 year old!

Just like last year, we let him pick what he wanted for all his meals. Boy is he a home-body! He wanted doughnuts (like last year) for breakfast. We all went in our jammies to get them. For lunch, we stayed here and ate together. For dinner we ordered out pizza because he didn't want to go anywhere. Easy enough.

A few years ago, C had a light saber that was taken away from him because he had hit something one too many times. At that time he was told that he would be allowed to have one when he was 7. I thought that the one he got at Disney would be sufficient. I was mistaken. He also wanted a spring activated one that he could play with (since the other is so big). Last night we did a little shopping and he was allowed to spend some birthday money to buy one. Well the one last night need returned today cuz it didn't work. So he and Daddy did that and got C's glassed re-adjusted (and a few other errands).

One of the errands was to get a cake or cookie for C for today (his party is next week). He wanted a cookie but they couldn't find a birthday one. So we ate Santa instead. Isn't he cute?


C got many well wishes on facebook, by phone call, and on blogs. He also opened a few presents today. K got him more Star Wars guys, Grandma and Papa got him 2 world maps (he loves looking at maps), my sister got him a few things to use tomorrow night. The present we got him --you'll have to check back to see where he and Daddy are going tomorrow night.

He had a good day and so did we all. Both kids were good. We played Wii, watched Monsters vs Aliens (not a fan), and a Muppet's Christmas.

Back to Disney!

I wish we were actually going back, but actually I have one last post. I forgot that I was going to blog about C's favorite souvenir.

Saturday morning before we left for the airport, Daddy and C went back to Hollywood Studios specifically for C to build his very own lightsaber. He actually got to pick out all the components and the color and if he wanted one or two blades.

It was much bigger than we anticipated. It actually had to be broken down to be packed to come home. Once we got home and put it all together and extended it, IT WAS HUGE! It's actually taller than me! Oh I forgot. It actually lights up--on one side. We think it was supposed to light up on both sides but something got left out when it was built (no fault of our own).
Side note: the benefits of homeschooling--staying in your jammies until dinner time. Aaaaah yeah!
