Happy Birthday Cale!

Sweet Cale is 6 years old today! We started his birthday celebrations with a trip to ChuckECheese on Saturday to play games followed by dinner for the boys at Subway. They were so excited they were jumping up and down as they were walking in. Today, I had planned to bring a snack to Cale's class and then eat lunch with him. Unfortunately, Cale (and Marcus) caught the stomach bug that we apparently were passing around to each other. He was sick and stayed home from school today. He slept most of the morning and woke up around 11am feeling much better. I was able to make his birthday cake, which we called the"frosted marvel", and he enjoyed opening and playing with his presents. I think he had a fun birthday.

Ewan made this hat at preschool. He called it Cale's birthday hat and told Cale he had to wear it. Cale was a good sport and kept it on until Ewan said he could take it off. Cale really liked his presents and the boys (including Andy) had fun playing with the new Nerf gun (we have a whole arsenal of Nerf guns in case we ever come under attack).







Hmm. Not my finest work, but it was an interesting cake to look at. I used two cans of frosting-2 different flavors-and various decorations that I found in the cabinet. Andy got the little Mario and Luigi figures to put on the cake. The boys like it when we use little toys for cake decorations.

We love Cale because...

1. he has a sweet personality

2. he loves to be a helper

3. he always knows the answer

4. he is really working hard on reading

5. he plays so well with his brothers

6. he tries his best at everything he does
