We celebrated JediBoy’s birthday today… just two months early. Today he is five and five-sixths, which we thought would be a cool day to celebrate with Pappy and Nita, who will be in South Africa for JediBoy’s actual sixth birthday in June. We spent the whole morning playing at our house. JediBoy talked Pappy into two board games - Monopoly Jr. Digging Dinos and Pokemon Monopoly - and they played Legos and built a marble run too. Nita kept BabyGirl happily occupied with toys and books.
Pappy, Nita and JediBoy counted birds again for Celebrate Urban Birds. Pappy and JediBoy washed a chalkboard in the driveway - this chalkboard moved with my parents from Virginia to North Dakota in 1976 (moving tag on the back) and from North Dakota to Pennsylvania in 1986 (moving tag on the front) and now it’s here in our home. It’s pretty geeky that we wax nostalgic over a chalkboard!
In the afternoon we went shopping for JediBoy’s big birthday present, and he chose a beautiful blue 18″ bike, with a new helmet and pads (Pokemon, of course) and a new pump too. He had to wait while we rested a bit and let the air cool down during the late afternoon, but this evening we finally tried it out on the Rail Trail.
And of course I baked a 5 and 5/6 cake.
