The Time Has Come -- The Big "5" Has Arrived!!

The countdown that began long ago - about the time the boys figured out just how cool it was to be 5 years old - well, the time has finally arrived! The boys have finally turned 5 (Finally is the boys choice of words in this case - they thought it would never happen. ) That is right, the boys have officially been invited to cross over to the "Cool" side of the playground fence, and now have permission to leave the pre-school toddlers with their moms, as they embark on the incredibly awesome world of a 5 year old. They are in the driver's seat now. Kindergarten is just a couple of weeks away, and they are practicing up on their "Hey Mom, It's All Good" strut, gearing up for the moment they will be able to enter their new classroom with ease and confidence, assuring me that they have got this puppy under control. We'll see how it goes - they do have the added benefit of being in the same class as their twin brother/life-long best bud/comrad in arms (so to speak), so that will make this a lot easier.

So, as I warned you earlier about now having to view incredibly mundane films about my family because it is fun for me -- here is their birthday video!!! We all had a lot of fun - except by the end of the afternoon, Ryan did have to make a quick trip to the urgent care to get some antibiotics for an ear infection - but he was quick to recover once he found that there was more birthday stuff in store for the rest of the evening. Well, sit back and enjoy -- I did. :)
