Lucas turns 5!

Lucas was born on Friday the 13th and this past Friday the 13th Lucas turned 5. It is so hard to believe that he was born 5 long years ago. Part of me can't believe he is already 5 but the other part of me feels like he was born forever ago! Either way, it happened and he is growing up and will be off to kindergarten in just a few short months. Crazy.
Bob was off work Friday which made celebrating Lucas' birthday even more special. We took the opportunity to head to the St. Louis City Museum. Lucas and I were there once and I knew Bob and Addison were sure to love it too. If you have not been, you need to go! It is one of the most unique places I have ever been.
Here are the kids and Bob enjoying the skateboard rink area.
Ball pit jail!



Posing in front of some big underwear!
The outdoor area was crazy. It had rained earlier and was closed but they opened it up later in the afternoon. It was crazy slippery but we took full advantage of the fun outside!
I think this was one of Bob's favorite areas....human hamster wheel!
Bob and the kids went a little crazy outside and their wet butts prove it!!!
Crazy slide. It was intense just trying to get to it!
After the city museum we stopped off and had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants...Rigazzi's. We had no problem finishing our large pizza and boy was it good! (Oh, and Bob and I each had to have a fishbowl of beer)!!! He wore his hat that his teachers made for him.
After a long day we came home for some cake. A blues cake too. Go Blues!!!!
Saturday was another crazy day. We hosted a party for 18 kids at Monkey Joes! It was crazy but hopefully all the kids had fun!
Molly and Addison
Lucas' cake.
Costco did not have a pirate cake but I had them make me a plain one with just a boader and writing and then I added a few pirate cake toppers. I think it worked out well!
Lucas loved sitting on the special birthday chair. Oh, and yes his shirt is all wet from getting lots of drinks at the drinking fountain from playing so hard!
Addison stopped quick for a pic. Silly girl was playing on a bouncy for ages 3 and under.

We made the weekend even more crazy by then going to Six Flags today. We are tired now and ready for the weekend to be over actually! Lots of stuff coming up for us the next 2 months. Our calendar is full. Yikes!
