Starting around, oh, August or so, our son became impatient for his birthday to arrive. For at least 2 months we have been listening to Whiny Impatient Boy fuss about having to wait for his birthday. (It does not help that dad's b-day comes a week before his. Life is sooo unfair.) While he has been excited to turn 8 years old, it really has been about the present. Those who know J know that he is a Lego fanatic, and he would be perfectly fine with only ever receiving Legos for presents for the rest of his life. Ok, maybe childhood. We'll see.
This year the plan was to give him one present -- a large lego set. He pretty much knew that this is what he would get, but he didn't know which one. Would it be the Harry Potter 5 castle set? Mars Mission? AquaRaiders? Oh, the agony of having to wait!! We decided we would spread his birthday out a bit and do most of the celebrating over the weekend. Originally, the plan was to do things on Sunday, but decided it was in our own best interests to give him his present on Saturday. (HP castle, btw.)
On Sunday, after church, we headed to Polaris to meet up with our new pals Kevin and Stacie. We had the pleasure of meeting their incredibly adorable son, Micah. Micah is one of those yummy-cute babies -- you know the ones. They are just so dang cute, cuddly and sweet that you would skip dessert just so you can kiss their chubby cheeks and blow raspberries on their bellies. Yep, that's Micah. His mom and dad were nice enough to show us more pics of their trip to Ethiopia and tell us stories about our kids.
After a trip to Sugardaddy's and some lunch, we took J to Magic Mountain for a round of mini golf, and eventually we ended up at McDonald's (yuck!) for J's birthday dinner. Now, can you guess what J asked his pastry chef dad to make him for his birthday dessert?? Sugardaddy's brownies? Noooo. A birthday cake?? Negative. How about some cupcakes? An ice cream cake? A giant cookie?? No, no, and no. He requested Rice Krispy Treats. (M, of course, had to at least jazz up a batch by throwing some CoCo Puffs in there.)
So now my hubby is 40 and my sweet boy is 8. I think that makes me old, but I'm going to pretend otherwise.

Okay...my brothers are 31 and 33 and they would LOVE Legos for their birthdays! So it will probably go long past childhood!
I never thought of putting coco krispies in the rice krispies treats! That's an awesome twist.
Sounds like a great weekend! Minus Mcdonalds!
Did he eat the rice krispy treats in one bite? :) Cutie!
We had a great time meeting you all! Thanks for gushing on about Micah - it's good to know we're not the only ones who think he is so stinking cute! :)
