Simon's birthday extravaganza

First we had his party on Friday

It was a "wow wow Wubbzy" party, his favorite.

The very classy treats for the party, of Simon's choice

Then a game of Simon says

A marshmallow hunt

Pin the tie on Walden, Wubbzy's friend

The decorations
Henry hanging out
Ready for the cake
All of his gifts from the party. Charlotte had to
open all of the boxes within a 2 minute time period.
As a result at least 1 vital piece to each toy is missing.
This morning, his gifts. The Spiderman costume
is Dave's worst nightmare. He really cannot stand
Spiderman, and has a category he places boys who
dress up in Spiderman. It was a present from Henry.

The first gift was a ride-on tractor. Also notice
we finally got a new couch. We have had a church
pew that was in the laundry room at our old house
in here since July.
Trying out the new costume.

Charlotte driving Henry around. This was just
as he was about to fly out the back. You need
to maximize this for the full effect.

We went to eat at the Mayan tonight. Simon
was wanting to go to Chuck E. Cheese but
I convinced him this would be much cooler.
Charlotte thought it was amazing. The divers were
really great but one of them came up to Simon
and asked him if he wanted to dive and Simon
was about to start crying he was so stressed. The
rest of the time he was hiding under the table.

Waiting for our table

Charlotte insisted we get Henry into the picture.
Didn't work out too well.
Tomorrow is Simon's actual birthday so we are
going to have cinnamon rolls. We leave for California
tomorrow and will spend the night in Vegas. We
told Simon that he is lucky because he will stay in
a castle for his birthday. We are staying at the
Excalibur.
