Happy Birthday George!!

 My Stephen George turned 9 years old today.
 His gift from Rex.
 Colored pencils from Gianna.
A bug home from Blase. 
 A new fishing reel from Dad and Mom.
 Magnifying glass and fruit snacks from Brech Earl.
A small butterfly habitat and a new butterfly net from Cormac. 
And the best gift of all - a remote controlled helicopter that shoots bullets from Dad and Mom.
As you can see from Blase and Stephen's expressions - its a BIG DEAL.  BEST. PRESENT. EVER.
 Add in some Dr. Pepper, Star Wars plates, and a
 strawberry cake with chocolate frosting.
 Happy Birthday to you!  Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Dear Stephen George!
Happy Birthday to you!
 Nothing like a Star Wars duel after cake and ice cream to make a party a big hit! 
Stephen watched his dad fly and crash his helicopter.  
Then he watched him fly and crash the helicopter.
This repeated until Mom said it was time for supper.  

Stephen requested cheeseburgers with Ranch dressing in them.  We also had his favorite side dish - bananas with chocolate syrup.  We each had one Dr. Pepper to add to the wonderful night.  Stephen's day was pretty good as far as birthdays go.  He went to church - lucky duck.  He had cake and ice cream as soon as we got home from church.  He played outside - weather was beautiful.  He helped the neighbor weed her flower garden in exchange for letting him chase butterflies in her yard.  He also got to use some REALLY cool weeding tools.  If all it takes is cool weeding tools to get a boy to weed - I'll be investing in 5 this year.  Turning 9 years old is fun.  Maybe we should do it again tomorrow!  ;-)
