He's NINE?! When did that happen? Nine just makes ME sound old! We have told our kids that they can have a "friend" birthday party at ages 5, 8, 12, and 16, so this year Spencer had a quiet birthday with just family, ie Grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, first cousins once removed, great aunts, great grandma, (you have to understand my family). Pretty much open to anyone related to us. (Disclaimer - we do understand the business of life and recognize that everyone cannot come to everything. We appreciate your understanding as well!)
This year happened to fall on a good night for a lot of people. Daddy was late getting home from work, so Matthew entertained us with "Why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes. These are classic Jenkins family dinner time entertainment. They go like this "Why did the "blank" cross the 'blank'?" Repeat with different nouns. Laugh sincerely, or insincerely, the kids don't mind either way.
Spencer enjoyed his Transformer birthday party. It fell on "flood day", so we held it in the front yard due to the six inches of water running through the back yard. When asked what his favorite present was, he said "I like the transformers, no wait, the real toolbox, no the webkinz, but I really like the digital camera and the remote control truck. Oooh, and the big squirt gun was nice! I can't decide."
Thanks everyone for making this his "favorite birthday" so far!
