We've been celebrating Lewis's birthday this week. It all started with a yummy dipped apple on Sunday, courtesy of some sweet friends. Then on Tuesday evening, the birthday boy got to help me with my Walmart shopping in order to use his gift card from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Candi. The picture above shows the double barrel nerf dart gun he selected for his prize. It has been the toy of choice all week for the men of the house--young and old.*************************
The actual day of birth was yesterday, and thanks to a kind friend who had some extra painting supplies, we celebrated with an outdoor art session--the first of its kind in our household. The three eldest Jr. Mc's donned their art smocks (Daddy's old T-shirts), and a couple neighbor boys even joined in on the fun. I've posted the pics below to document the fact that I can occasionally be a fun, crafty mom.
The crowning event of our week is yet to come and will certainly require its own post. Tomorrow we hope to load up the Green Machine (our new-to-us eleven passenger family-mobile) and make a trek with grandparents and a couple friends to the Memphis Zoo.
Happy Fifth Birthday, Lewis!!!
(Ian was in on the art festivities, too, but he was the one operating the camera for all but the top picture.)
