Today is Benji’s 4th birthday! He has been so excited for so long waiting for all of the other birthdays that had to happen before his and then we had a countdown on the computer of how many days and hours until the day and he would literally check the computer every day, several times a day and several times in a row he would keep going back to see if it had changed – so EXCITING.

4 YEARS OLD

So he woke up this morning!!… and his little hand was swollen and hurting so bad that he didn’t even remember that it was his birthday. When he saw the presents he got super excited again and we let him open them. It was very sweet when he asked his little brother to help him because his hand was hurting. His hand started hurting yesterday, I was thinking maybe a bug bite or a spider bite because we were out Late Saturday night in a swarm of bugs. It had started to swell last night and then this morning it was swollen with 6 to 10 little lines -(blisters). The Dr. had an opening this morning so by 9am we were off to get some help for the hand. We came home with a diagnosis of Poison Ivy. No idea where that came from. Hopefully the medecine will start helping. For now it keeps getting worse…

Birthday Boy!

Chuck E Cheese sent us  a 20 free tokens coupon for Benji’s birthday so that’s where we went after the Dr visit and he is looking forward to his cousins coming over for his birthday party tonight. He is having a great birthday even though you can tell he’s just not quite his 100% happy self.

They used to be afraid of these rides - NOT ANYMORE!

We've had a few Chuck E Cheese Tokens laying around the house so my boys were so excited to finally get to go there and use their money!

Cali was as happy as ever with this wrapping paper fun!
