He started counting down the sleeps about 20 sleeps ago. It wasn’t even his birthday month and he was getting all fired up. He’s 5 y’all. Or will be tomorrow (a couple hours from now, actually). Today is the day we celebrate the day DW went into the hospital to give Bang his eviction notice. It wouldn’t be until 6:36 tomorrow evening that he joined us outside the womb. Now he’s five. He’ll be starting big kid school in September! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,

I like the idea of using wrapping paper and filling it with balloons too. This was easier and just as exciting 🙂

UGH. He told me he wanted hamburger slop. Broccoli would be better because we already have chicken thawed.

He’s decided on broccoli which goes much better with chicken than hamburger slop 🙂 So chicken it is! Thanks Aussie Fans! 😀 He’s pretty much as excited as newly turned 5 year old can be!
