6 and counting!

Matt had his 6th birthday on Feb. 4. We had a family party on his birthday and then he had a friend party 2 days later. What party would be complete without: pin the tail on the donkey, bingo, musical present, balloon popping relay, bubble blowing contest, and of course the beloved pinata? We love this boy! He makes us laugh every single day. 
Some things Matt loves:
*To joke
 *Kindergarten
*Baseball 
*Video Games
*Teasing his sister
*Talking on the phone
*Reading

Matt wanted a baseball cake for his friend party. I forgot the stripes on the ball, oops!
Bubble blowing champ!

Cake and cupcakes for family party
When we went to check on the kids before going to bed, we found that Matt had snuck into bed with McKenna and they were snuggling her night light moon. What a way to finish out the perfect day!

I should be mad but . . .

I have not been able to upload any pictures with my new camera that I got for Christmas because I accidently stuck a disk in my drive that wouldn't come out. Well, I had been dreading taking in my computer and having them charge me tons of money for such a simple extraction, that I kept putting it off. Well the other day Matt came walking into my room carrying my computer. I quickly started chiding him and reminding him of the rule that you "DON'T CARRY MY COMPUTER AROUND" (I said this in a really nice voice though) He then says to me, " But mom, I accidently dropped it and look what came out!" I was momentarily stuck on the "I dropped it" part, "it" being my computer, and as I was reaching out to man handle him, I noticed that the "what" was the disk that had been stuck inside my computer and he was handing it to me. So there I was . . . what to do? Strangle him or kiss him? I calmly asked him if the computer was alright? The answer was thankfully yes. BIG SIGH! I then told him to please not carry around my computer anymore. I had to be tough still ya know, even though inside I was super excited to have my computer back to normal! As for Matt, he quickly told me sorry for dropping my computer, but I saw a little sparkle in his eyes when he said it. He knew that he had just secretly saved the day! So, that means that there will be lots of pictures to come. I have still been being a good girl and taking them!
