Mr. Amazing Matthew celebrated his big number four birthday on Saturday. We spent the morning at Jumping Jim's Jungle with the McQuivey clan. They have three boys as well. The boys jumped, ran, tagged, tumbled, and bounced at least 15 large pepperoni pizzas worth of calories out of themselves. It was a blast. Lunch was a quick jont away from the Jungle to Burger King with all 6 boys. I had two women stop me and ask if all of the boys were mine. They couldn't believe how I must have felt to be so outnumbered. I assured them that only half of the crew was mine and only if dreams come true will I be the mother of a basketball team plus one sub. They couldn't tell if I was serious or not. After lunch we went back to Jumping Jim's and jumped until poor little Matthew was so tired he couldn't take it any longer. We packed up, said good-bye to the McQuivey's and headed for home. After naps we celebrated with dinner, a Bulldozer cake, and presents.
For weeks Matthew has been asking for a real crab for this birthday. I was feeling hesitant at first but I finally decided to break down and get the kid a hermit crab. I could never have imagined what a hit a wee little crab could be. Crabby is the joy of Matthew's life. He has never been so happy about anything that has ever happened to him in his four years of life. It was fun to see how happy a small crab could make one little boy.
