He had a few boys from his kindergarten class over to play.  As all five and six year old boys, they had a grand time running around like a bunch of wild banshees. Of course, they took some time out from their playing to have some chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a side of peppermint ice cream:

They all had a great time.

Ack. I can’t believe this much time has gone by already. Anyway, my husband and I are wondering what to get him. Steve already got him a pirate ship of some sort and we’re now wondering what else to get him. Michelle Malkin writes that Bakugan is the big thing, but honestly, I’ve never heard of it. It’s apparently a Japanese animation on the Cartoon Network, but we don’t watch that very much in our house. Little Man is a movie watcher. Right now, his favorites are Jurassic Park, Spiderman 3, Night at the Museum, The Haunted Mansion, and now movies and books about the Civil War. On our way home from DC, we stopped off at Gettysburg where we did a car tour of the battlefield.  My son was enthralled with the idea that a battle took place there and all kinds of people died. Morbid, I know, but that’s a boy for you, I guess. Once we got home, we pulled out our VHS tapes of the movie Gettysburg and watched it.

Anyway, we’re still trying to figure out what else to get him for his birthday.  He’s got so many dinosaurs, books about dinosaurs, and remote control dinosaurs that we’re being overrun.  Maybe some Union Army and Confederate Army action figures would do the trick.
