Happy Fifth birthday Louis Miguel!!!

Five. Such a big birthday!!! You are a whole hand now! No manually moving your fingers about - no,  just one hand! I wonder what five will bring you? We made the decision to wait a year on school, so I will have you with me for one more year - me & you, hanging out, reading, running errands, and my favorite - snuggling at nap time!! I'm not sure who lulls who to sleep first - me, you - or Ferdinand!! That cat is loyal to you beyond measure. He choose you and that's that. I'm sure it will bring you lots of fun and new friends too!

For your birthday you asked for a bonfire party. Yes, my August baby born in the middle of a heat wave, wants a bonfire! Ok - a bonfire it is!! We asked nana & pawpaw if we could borrow their house for this party and they obliged!! We had hotdogs, smores, cookies and cake pops! Such a great time!

An early celebration

Since Lucas' birthday is so close to when school starts, it's hard to have a day of fun with him. So I took a day and let him pick what we did. His first request is always the same. Sushi.Yes, my boy LOVES sushi!! His favorite is spicy shrimp roll. Once he picked sushi, I decided we should go to Wasabi. After enjoying our lunch on the patio, we went to Lucas' second favorite place - The Chef Shoppe, or as Lucas likes to call it, the Red Velvet Store! He loves their red velvet cake pops. He also got to sample their popcorn, fudge and some dips too. After that we went to target and did a little shopping in the dollar section. It was a a great day celebrating my wonderful boy!!
