Happy 5th B-day Alex!

This morning we gave Alex a few of his presents: 2 Rescue Heroes and an Imaginext T-Rex. After dropping Frank off at work we met Grumps (who has asked for a load through Las Vegas since we moved here). I told Alex that his best b-day gift was his surprise visit from Grumps. We went to Wal-Mart and Grumps bought Alex 4 Bionicles. At McDonald’s Grumps’ driving partner, Kit gave Alex enough money to buy another Bionicle. One happy little boy is playing with the Bionicles. All of that and it is barely noon, he’ll get the rest of his gifts after Frank gets home and we’re having a party for him after Bible Study!

This afternoon Alex got $20 from Mamaw in the mail; he bought a big Bionicle, a jump rope and some homeschool stuff. When we got home from picking Frank up Alex opened the rest of his gifts: 3 Bible Story DVD’s from Papa, 3 Star Wars books from Aunt Sandy, and 2 nice shirts, a wonderful set of Bob Books and a Brain Quest K Workbook that he can hardly wait to do the mazes in from Nana and Papa Rendla.

After Bible Study we had a party for Alex. We had a cake that Alex helped make and icing that Alex picked out. Alex got a singing card, a hot wheels car, a couple of G.I. Joes, and $20. Alex and I made a deal after he bought the big Bionicle that if he got any more money it would be for homeschool stuff, (I think he got enough toys, don't you?).



“It was a good day, even I got Bionicles, a lot of Bionicles today. That was a good day,” Alex.

Update: With the money Alex has gotten for his b-day I got him some workbooks, a 1st Grade Vocabulary Puzzles Computer Game, a Sid the Science Kid DVD, and 4 Waterford Early Math and Science DVD's.
