Happy Birthday Trevan

Seven years old! We love you big guy. Every picture you paint and color. Every tumble or cartwheel. Every silly practical joke. O.K. Maybe not every one of those but definitely every laugh and smile and kind hearted gesture. Life with you is so much more entertaining. He wanted an underwater ocean cake which Mom is admitting she made herself. The poor guy didn't know what he wanted for a gift so we took him to Toys R Us and let him pick something out himself. He was very cautious with his decision and very thoughtful in asking with each prospective gift if it was too much money. He finally decided on an ATM for his money and an arcade style basketball game that hangs on the door. (It's the hanging on the door part that makes it cool. That and the funky Sponge Bob face). It was on the way to the store that he asked me, 'Mom, what is Toys R Us?" Mark another point down in the deprived child slot! Nana, Grandpa and Auntie Rachael also took him to Hobby Lobby, which he is familiar with, and he made a haul on all sorts of stuff. Trevan never gets tired of doing art projects. We've decided he's an abstract painter with his own way of thinking rather than following any pre-printed rules of colors and lines. It's fun to watch him. After the party clean up he convinced dad to open up the wood carving kit gift. Needless to say, that project will take more than one night. Happy birthday Trev.
