Carter turns five!

The countdown for Carter's birthday started months ago but how quickly it arrived.  On June 10th, Carter woke up another year older.  He not only looked older but he was acting a little older too!  He was asking lots of questions about what he could do now that he was a 5 year old.  He needed conformation that he could still jump on the trampoline now that he was 5.
He requested powdered doughnuts for breakfast but couldn't wait to try them until after he blew out the candles!

He had Safety town that afternoon so when it was over I took him to pick up some ice cream and get balloons.  He chose 3 balloons: a sports one, a happy birthday one, and a red, white, and blue star to show everyone he was American (his quote).  When we reached the car the happy birthday balloon popped and the tears began to well up.  We quickly went back into the store and bought a replacement. The moment we reached the car it popped.  Needless to say the meltdown was monumental! 

We took quite a crew to Bob Evans for Carter's birthday dinner (his choice).  When we arrived the hostess said they didn't take reservations after the lady on the phone told me otherwise.  Maw Maw, Grandma and Grandpa Grocho, Grandma Angie, Aunt D, Adelynn, Lincoln, and our whole family caused a ruckus at Bob Evans.  We returned home to enjoy tie-dyed cake and ice cream.  

How fast 5 years have passed…we are looking forward to many more birthdays!
