Mason Turns 5

10/3/2010

FINALLY!! That's what Mason feels like.  He has been counting down the days to his birthday and his party for the last month!  It has been fun watching him get all excited and seeing the light dance in his eyes.  The Sunday following his party he plain as day asked me, 'so when do I start kindergarten, I'm done with preschool, I'm 5 now'.  WOW!  It took a lot of mighty fine convincing this one why he had to wait another whole year.  I was nervous come the first day back to preschool though, cuz boy did he fight me those days prior.  He ended up going and coming home from preschool just happy as could be, WHEW! 

This year Mason decided he wanted to have a bug birthday.  This didn't surprise me one bit, since both him and Parker have been fasinated with bugs the last few months.  They will point out a grasshopper or rolly polly to anyone willing to look and listen.  So of course we run with it.  Here is how his cake turned out, I was NOT allowed to decorate it without him being right by my side because 'he was the boss of his cake'  I think it turned out great.




We played some bug games, like 'hot potato bug'.  Had to pass the bug around while the music is playing, but when the music goes off you don't want to be holding it, or your OUT!



 Our winner!  He got to keep the bug too. *smile*

Bug Hunt...


Musical dead bug.  Dance around like your favorite bug while the music is playing, when the music stops you play dead. hahaha the last one to play dead is OUT!


Find the bug in the balloon.  You had to stomp on the balloons to see what your bug would be.  Lily didn't like all the noise during this one, and some were afraid to pop them.

Mason LOVED all his fun presents...





But, his goodies he said were the best!

We had 'wiggly worm' dogs..

with dirt pudding....

and of course cake and ice cream!  Their drinks even had frozen bugs in them.

Here is Mason's group of friends that came and enjoyed his special day with him.

He had such a GREAT time, he was smiling for days afterwards!  Happy Birthday Mason, we love you so much.  You make us laugh, and sometimes shake our heads, but we love it too!
