Marathon Birthday

So...we let Mathias pick what he wanted to do for his birthday.  I know there is the potential for great danger in such a decision - but he luckily was reasonable, and very excited to be in control for the day.  Here is a run-dun of his selected activities...

We started out by meeting some friends at IHOP.  There's no harm in a few pancakes for breakfast, right?  He actually wanted the chicken and french fries though - so we obliged.  

Then we were off to Party Palooza.  It's an indoor jump house - and ended up being a great choice for the day.  It was like 103 outside...so the park would have been a little toasty.

He was dying to see Prince Caspian - which was only a good decision b/c of the before mentioned weather hazard.  The movie makers strayed even farther from the book's plot this time.  It wasn't horrible - but it wasn't my favorite.  It made Mathias happy though...so I won't complain too loudly.

He really wanted Grandpa Hahn and Randy to take him golfing - but they would have melted after a few holes.  So, swimming @ Grandma's would have to suffice - and luckily it did the trick.

This wasn't part of his plan - but he appeased us by pausing long enough for some shots with his mommy:)  One of the other great things about Mathias is that when you kiss him...he almost always kisses you back.  He's very tender-hearted that way...

Grandma and Grandpa Hahn helped him wind up the day with dinner at McDonald's - and you guessed it...another round of chicken and french fries it was.  

We waited to do his birthday dinner on Sunday - and surprisingly he didn't ask for me to make him anything poultry or potato related.  He wanted pizza - so I made personal pizzas for everyone!  He also wanted a turtle cake, so wahlah...

Birthday Extraordinaire!!!
