Mason is 6!!!

I forgot to post this last week...Zane and Mason found some youtube videos outlining different pranks you could play on people.  Matt saw Zane get the saran wrap from the drawer and run into the bathroom.  So I played it up and pretended he got me.  But we had to take pictures of his first "prank!"

 

He needs to work on the presentation...

But a good concept!

 

Some pictures from Jo's this week:

 



Getting ready for Thanksgiving!

Brycers loves to play the ipad!

Playdoh!

Almost everyone...Avery, Nicholas, Bryce, Arthur, and Kerrigan.  Just missing Harper!

Thursday evening was the first Open Library Night at Mason's school.  They made paddles, ate a snack, and shopped at the book fair.

Zane drawing, imagine that!

Bryce pouting because he wanted TWO books...not ONE book!

Friday evening we invited some of Mason's friends to have supper and fun at Chuck E Cheese.  It was great to see everyone!

Cupcake time!

Mason keeps telling me "I hate pictures of me!"

Rydder and Mason - buddies from preschool - they miss each other!

How's the cupcake, er, frosting Bryce?!?

The adults in deep conversation!

Today was Mason's actual birthday.  We slept in and enjoyed that, then went to get donuts and to Target for him to pick out his gifts.  He chose a bike and some Spiderman action figures.  Around lunchtime, Craig and Keeta surprised him by visiting!  He chose CiCi's for lunch, then we came back home to play and have cupcakes.  He's been begging to put up the Christmas tree, so we did that this evening.  I think he's most excited about Buzz's return - he keeps asking about that as well.  We shall see if putting the tree up brings Buzz to our house!  :)

6 years old!!!

Playing Old Maid with Grandma!

He wanted 6 candles in his cupcake...not 1!

Make a wish!

Hope it comes true!

All hands on deck!

Putting the ornaments on!

CHEESE!

Trying to escape the camera...not so fast my dear!

Getting everything up!

It is so hard for me to believe that Mason is 6 already!  Time sure does fly!  Every birthday I'm a mixture of excited and sad.  I try not to let the sad overtake everything else, but it's so hard when you realize how fast it all does go!  But, these boys don't give me much time to be sad or reflect on time passing before my eyes! 

It's also crazy to think that Thanksgiving is this week!  It's a short work week - only 2 days of school and then off for a few!  Really looking forward to some time off of work and family time together!  Have a fabulous week!
