Spencer’s party!

October 23, 2017

Happy Monday! So, last week it just worked out that we were able to have Spencer’s birthday party on his actual birthday! FUN! Maxwell got out of school at noon that day so we had the party at 1:30 right after pre-school got out and everyone could join! Spencer has been saying for months that he wanted to have his party at Surge so that is exactly what we did! A sports themed party at Surge to celebrate one awesome FIVE year old!

Surge was so great – we had a huge party room and lots and lots of space to jump! While we had cupcakes for his friends…

Spencer also requested a cake to blow out candles! He wanted a soccer ball and I thought it turned out super cute…

These three monkeys were ready to PARTY!

We ended up having the entire place to ourselves which was SO nice!! The kids jumped and climbed and bounced and tackled and had a ball!

I thought Spencer was going to do the trapeze but…nope! ha!

He did spend just about the whole party with his main bud, Sebastian! and Samantha was always right there in the middle of it all! Β πŸ™‚

Maxwell did the climbing wall and got all the way to the top!

Samantha thought she wanted to do it too. I have to give it to the guy working there – he did his best to get that harness on her but she just wasn’t quite big enough! ha!

After lots of jumping, it was cake time!!

He had a fantastic day at school and even got 5 birthday spankings from Mrs. Beard. πŸ™‚ Nothing better than a school birthday crown…

We actually had Spencer’s birthday party right after school and it was AWESOME! Lots of pictures from that to come. That night, we had pizza (Spencer’s request. Specifically, “Not the pizza you go pick up but the kind that the Domino’s truck brings to your house!” ha!) We then had more cake and opened lots of fun presents! Luckily we had our two favorites in town to celebrate with us!

I think Spencer had a great day!! Also have to share the awesome things Maxwell made for Spence…this sign…

Whoa, he got so grown up! This kid makes me smile. He’s a happy kid who plays hard, tries hard, and loves hard. He still has the greatest laugh you’ve ever heard…and we get to hear it a lot! He’s smart with just enough of a mischievous side to keep me on my toes. Sometimes you just never know what you’re gonna get with him! That said, overall he’s a really good kid who gets along well with everyone and is generally pretty agreeable on most things. He’s doing great in school. His handwriting is super impressive and his drawing is just as good – if not better! – than Maxwell’s was at this age. He’s happiest at the table with a snack and some paper and markers – or maybe the iPad! ha! This kid does love some tv!!

One thing Spencer does not like to do? Take pictures! I get lots of silly faces…

He’s still into Star Wars and dinosaurs and loves Power Rangers right now. Superheroes are still cool and nerf guns are probably his favorite toy. He’s the best big brother to Samantha and the two of them really do have a special bond. I’m glad he has a little sister to show the ropes to! πŸ™‚ Of course, his favorite person to play with is Maxwell! They really are best buds and play so well together most of the time. That playing usually involves some sort of ball throwing outside or wrestling! Spencer can hold his own with older kids just fine and is a great friend to buddies his age. His best friends right now are Sebastian, Stephen, Wade, and Christopher. He’s really into soccer and hustles so hard on the field. The only thing better than seeing him play is to hear him on the sidelines cheering for his teammates!

I sure do love this little boy. There’s virtually no baby left in him except for those tricky L sounds…he still sounds just a widdle bit wike a baby sometimes. Oh, how I wish I could freeze him at this age.
