Matthew's Birthday

Yesterday was Matthew's 5th birthday. I can't believe how big he's getting. We were so busy the entire day, and Matthew said that he had a great birthday. Before the three older kids when to school, we let Matthew open his presents. He got a small plastic golf set and a ton of Spiderman things (a kite, a kickboard, a paddle ball, and a punching bag). Right after the kids left for the bus stop, Jeff was able to call and talk to just Matthew; well, and me of course. When Alayna got home from school, the three of us took Trax downtown to the Aquarium. It seemed like a good idea at the time but on the way back to the Trax station after visiting the Aquarium it started to rain. We got sooooo wet, but we still had a good time. Then, after Donovan and Sean got home we all went to Hollywood Connection. It was Grandma and Grandpa Burgener's present to Matthew. We all had a blast!!! We didn't make it home until about a quarter to 10pm. We were all so worn out we all went straight to bed. We never did have time for some cake, so that's what we'll do today. Matthew also received a package from Jeff in the mail today. An oversized t-shirt that has a picture and says, "Who's Your Baghdaddy?" and a camel that plays music. Matthew loves the camel!
