Ethan's Birthday

I just realized today that I had never downloaded the pictures from Ethan's birthday last week.
We had a nice quiet day per Ethan's request. I tried to get him to do a party, but after two weeks of vacation he just wanted a day at home with his brothers. So to make it special for him he was in charge for the day.
We began the day by making Mickey Mouse pancakes. I did this a while back when he was going through one of his not eating phases and he will occasionally request them.
Then he got to play what ever he wanted all morning long. He even got to play while the other boys did their chores and his.
For lunch he requested a Subway sandwich. He has a hard time remembering the name Subway, but when he asked for a Sandwich from the place in Wal-Mart I knew what he was talking about.
That evening when Bob got home we opened presents- video games, Lego's, and money- to buy more Lego's or video games.
We then went to dinner at Red Robin.Of course he ordered Mac-n- Cheese!(but did you know that they give kids a free refill of mac-n- cheese if they are still hungry?)
After that we rounded out the night with cake and ice cream. Ethan picked out the colors and the design for his cake.
He said he had a really fun day, and I know it was lots easier for me too!!
Happy Birthday Again Ethan!!!
