We didn't have a party this year for A's birthday but I sent cupcakes to school for his class. We had cupcakes for breakfast as well.
I told A his birth story in the van on his way to school and loved and kissed on him that morning. It's very different going from spending all day with the birthday boy (like last year) to just the morning and evening since he's in school now. But I guess that's what most parents are used to.
A's doctor visit was great. He's 47 inches tall (1 inch too short for the Steel Eel) and 48 lbs. His height is above average and his weight is average, which we knew because he's a skinny thing but very strong. His vision was questionable so I made an appointment for him at a real eye doctor, Dr. Gee, and his eyes are fine. It's just a matter of time before one of our kids has eye problems. A seems to have a more sensitive stomach than the other 3, and if someone is going to puke, I'd bet money that it would be him. He's missed school twice already because of a stomach bug and he even threw up at school once in the nurse's office.
Currently as a 6 year old, A is into anything Pokemon, Star Wars, or football. He's my football buddy and keeps me up to date with the scores and downs while I'm cooking in the kitchen and can't see the TV. He's recently become interested in Pokemon from boys at school and used some of his money to buy Pokemon cards from the dollar tree. I'm glad he likes Star Wars and eventually we will show him all the movies. When asked what kind of cupcakes he wanted, he wanted Star Wars cupcakes. I couldn't find any, so he settled for Mario, but Star Wars was his first choice.
A decided he wanted to go to Sea World for his birthday to see Halloscream. We saw it advertised while we were there in August, so since we had tickets, a free hotel room (thanks babe), and live in dog sitters, we decided to make it happen. We left Friday afternoon after the kids got home from an early release day of school in October and ate at Sonic per A's choice. We were at Sea World from 5-10 pm and saw some creep stuff.

B took R into one haunted house, but that one was enough, so we saw the shows and look at the creepy workers all dressed up in their scary costumes. That in itself was fun. We made it back to the hotel and within minutes of laying down, the kids were asleep. Saturday we ate the hotel breakfast and took it easy in the hotel room, since Sea World didn't open until 1 pm. We checked out of the hotel and headed to Sea World, to find they had closed down for the day due to bad hurricane rains. We weren't too surprised, but really bummed to find out, so we rented a red box movie and headed home to Richmond.
