Jacob turned 7! It's been what - a week? Yeah, can't really remember what we did that day - but it was busy. Jacob truly lucked out because it was school field trip day - when all the classes leave and let the kindergarteners "run" the school. Jacob's field trip - Chuck-E-Cheese and the park. Well, now he can't complain that he's never been to Chuck-E-Cheese on his birthday!
After school he went to play at his friend's house, then we picked him up to go out to dinner at the new-ish pizza buffet in town. It's name is Salt-N-Grease.... oh wait, no, it's SteviB's. They have an arcade, and I actually had some left-over tokens and a coupon - so rock on!
We got home LATE and then Jacob insisted on decorating his own cake with chocolate chips and M&M's. Here it is:
I'll take guesses now and post an answer key later. By the time we had cake, both kids were in their pj's and it was after 9pm. For pjs for Jacob - that means underwear. So, I finally get a good cake-picture and he's half naked. Figures. I'll let Jacob introduce you to the newest member of the Douglas family and Jacob's birthday present on the kids blog next week (hint - his name is Quickie; mom and dad could not persuade them to choose another name, 'Fastie' was already taken by the caterpillar). He's really looking forward to making his rockets this summer and will be saving his birthday money for an ipad - or a trampoline - whichever is cheaper. Since he saves about $80 a year, I think by the time he can afford an ipad, I'll be OK with him having one. PS - no one tell him what a Kindle Fire is, ok?

The top part is someone skiing. The bottom is a super hero flying. OK, I really have no idea.
I think it's Jacob laying on the ground after a bike crash.
