Happy Birthday Alex!!! You're Five!!!!!

Last Sunday Alex turned 5... but due to circumstances beyond his control (i.e. Dad's too busy to decorate his cake or get a present) we postponed the festivities to Tuesday night after swim team.

For his birthday he wanted Pokémon Diamond (for the DS), but instead we got him some Number Busters!


Alex is our little whiz with numbers and love Pokémon type things... so naturally, we knew he would like these.

These are little dinosaur/monster/creature figures that come with a random number on their feet that you use to play a game that's kind of like War. They also come with a set of cards that you can use along with the figures to add points to their number and alter the outcome of the battle.



The trick with these is that you need to have more than one of each kind or else you can memorize the number and know which one's to pick... so we'll have to get another set soon.

So... the cake held up the party.

Alex wanted a cake like Andee's, but green... so I trimmed the ears and made a Green Puppy from the Blue's Clues pan (Andee had Magenta for her cake).

He loved it. He wanted an ear and the eyes.


Andee got an ear. Aimee got the hat. Min got the back leg and rump. Aaron got the face. I took the present.

Alex loved and was happy his birthday was extended two more days.

Kids.
