Well, yesterday my littlest man turned 5. It's the best age ever if you ask him. To me, it's a little bittersweet. He told my sister that at 5 he could help mom and dad clean his room. That sounds like a solid plan but I know it's not going to happen anytime soon. My kids aren't exactly clean freaks! He went for his kindergarten testing today and thought he was hot stuff at the school. He's so excited about going to kindergarten that he's done going to preschool. He just wants to quit. We, of course, told him he has to finish in order to go to kindergarten. He was disappointed but understood. We bowled on Sunday for his party and went to dinner at Chuck E. Cheese last night for his actual birthday. He got new boots that he got to pick out and everyone has made exactly the right amount of fuss over them. He's very proud. Jake is getting to that place in school where he's ready for summer to come. Charlie just doesn't understand why Jake wouldn't want to go to school. It's a mystery.
My Uncle Jr. will be moving back to Texas soon. We are all so excited. It's been a long time since we've had him here for family dinners and such. The kids can hardly wait to see him. He should be here by mid February.
We struggle to keep peace in our house these days. The boys fight like cats and dogs! We try to keep them occupied separately but Charlie always ends up wanting to play what Jake is playing and causing a fuss. They are the best of friends and the worst of enemies. What to do? I'm sure they will grow out of it in about 15 years. My sister and I finally did..... for the most part. :)
I have included some pictures from Charlie's party. We are going to the rodeo soon. They always love doing that so I will post more soon.
