Whobody turned SIX today?

Today is Keaton's 6th birthday...and lucky him, this year it fell on St. Patrick's Day too! (Only kidding, I realize that it will be on St. Patty's Day every year.) So...today before school we had french toast (with a candle in it). Then off he went to face kindergarten as a SIX YEAR OLD! He was a pretty happy boy when he got home from school. He got to wear a birthday crown all day and everyone wished him a happy birthday. At snack time he got 3 handfuls of snack and everyone else only got 2. When he got home from school...he had a little time in his room to play and then we went to Elkader to the parade. The kids had a blast and got tons of candy....*see pictures below.

Can you tell that I always tell the kids that people won't throw candy unless you wave at them?

So after the parade, we rushed home to eat supper...Keaton's favorite: spaghetti and corn on the cob! We had to finish the meal with a chocolate cupcake complete with a candle! (The kids all ate with their shirts off on account of the spaghetti...this was mostly for Nash, but the other 2 just took theirs off when I took his off.....)

Then we got ready for bed and FINALLY Keaton got to open his birthday present from us. He had been pointing this lego set out in the little pamphlet that came with his last lego set since Christmas. We played with the zoo legos for about 20 minutes and then it was off to bed! Tomorrow Keaton is having 6 friends over for a birthday party after school! (I'm sure that there will be lots to write about that one.)

I can't believe that he is already 6. He really is a good kid! (How did that happen?)
