Ben's Five

Ok he's been Five since Feb. and I am a whole week late posting about his birthday party, but i've been distracted.

My baby (who's not a baby anymore) is FIVE! What a big boy! He had 17 kids to the Long Branch Nature Center for a birthday party. I think it went pretty well. They ran, and yelled, and wrestled and played tag. Then there was the turtles who came to visit. They had turtle races and everyone giggled and rolled on the rug.

They ate sandwiches, apples, and of course goldfish crackers. Then they had orange and green cupcakes. Ben's favorite colors. He opened a mass of presents, which excited him to no end. He spent the rest of the afternoon and the rest of this week, making sure every bit and piece of those present was scattered about the 900 sq ft we call home. Good fun. He had a fabulous time.

This week, has been quiet for me, spending much time on the couch, or in bed or in the bathroom. Hoping my stomach will settle down soon. I have been watching Greys Anatomy, which i've never seen. I am now to season 5, which will tell you how much watching i've been doing.
