Logan Turns 5 aka A Whole Hand

So a week after my birthday we celebrate Logan's birthday every year. He gets so excited after my birthday is officially over because he knows that his is coming soon. Because it is an odd year we kept the birthday fun within the family this year.

First thing in the morning Logan and I went to Denny's before school so that we could take advantage of their free birthday breakfast. Logan wanted a hot chocolate with whipped cream on top and a grand slam. We had a lot of fun together and then I got to take him to school.

We opened presents in our home with the Fisher's and then had this tasty Oreo cake that Camille made. Nice job babe! This year Logan expressed a desire to have a lot of Police stuff so we obliged. He got a police outfit, full police belt with night stick, whistle, gun and holster. He also got a real metal police badge. Another thing he wanted was old or unique money. So I got some pesos that day and gave him a 50 peso bill :) He thought it was a ton of money but in reality it is only 4 dollars. The dinner that he wanted on his birthday was macaroni and cheese. Easy and cheap!! Our kind of boy!!

One of the funny moments of the day was after we opened the presents. Something we love about Logan is that he actually plays with his toys all the time. So we know that whatever we give him for his birthday he will put it to good use. And that leads me into the story. Logan quickly put on his police outfit and went outside to take care of police matters. He first started shooting everybody in the face. I said, "Logan, what are you doing?" He said, "taking care of all the bad guys". I said, "Policeman don't just go around shooting people in the face, they are here to help protect people." So after we had a talk about what they do Logan stood in the middle of our street and started directing traffic with his whistle. He was out there making sure that the kids weren't riding their bikes to fast and if they were he would whistle them down and have a talk with them. It was hilarious!! He was in true character as only Logan can do. We love his imagination and creativity. Overall it was a success and we are so proud that Logan is 5 years old!!

Here he is making sure they understand the rules of the road :)

Uh Oh, someone was going to fast. BUSTED!!
