Lucas' 5th birthday was on Wednesday. As hard as we tried to make the day a joyous celebration, it just wasn't the same. He was so confused by the "you were born on this day, but we'll have a party on Saturday" concept.
He woke up this morning and came into my room and said "Today is my other birthday!!!!" He was so excited all day.
His party went well.....as well as can be expected with 8 kids under the age of 5! It was quite noisy, but they all had a great time. He decided a while back to have a "bug party." I had to be creative to make it boy-ish. Have you tried to find boy bug stuff recently? You'd think it'd be a piece of cake. Stereotypically speaking, girls have never been quite fond of bugs. But, for some reason, anything buggy recently has tones of pink and yellow, cute little ladybugs and dragonflies.
Our search for creepy slimy bugs wasn't very successful, but I did find a few things. Enough to have a bug hunt in the backyard and make a few bug crafts. We had "dirt cake" (crushed oreos layered with a pudding/cream cheese mixture) instead of traditional b-day cake. He loved it.
And the look on his face was priceless all afternoon. I guess there are some things money just can't buy. (Sorry I had to steal that from Mastercard!)

The infamous dirt cake!
One more picture! He's wearing his soccer jersey, by the way. We don't normally dress him in shiny teal green shirts! Ha!
