Zac Steven, Zac, Zacy, Zac Attack, Zac-a -roni!- It's all about you Bud!

Zac has had some exciting times as of late. His birthday was Sunday, we celebrated Saturday AND he started school on Weds (yesterday) after his open house Tuesday night!

When we lived in Kentucky there were brochures at doctors offices and other places that told about fun stuff to do in Lexington, there was always an ad for inflatables that you can rent for parties. I bet there were 15 on the page. He would ALWAYS tell me that he wanted to go to wherever this place was. There is a warehouse in Utah that has about 12 huge inflatables that the kids can play on for an unlimited amount of time. So... Happy Birthday Zac! Jump your heart out. He did have fun running and playing and jumping and sliding and sweating. He had his cousins and bro and sister to play with too! That was fun. Then he chose to eat at the Texas Roadhouse for lunch because he likes shelling the peanuts and knowing that it's totally acceptable to make a mess with the shells all over the place. That evening we had a "waffle bar" for dinner and didn't even eat the ice cream and cake because we were too full of sweet goodness already, but he liked blowing out the candles. The picture of him being sung to in front of his cake is SO Zac to me. He does have a big heart and was grateful for each gift that he opened. I hope he felt special!
I made his Mario brothers shirt (iron on), and we decided even if it only lasts 2 washes, his reaction was worth it. He wanted a Mario birthday and short of ordering online, I couldn't find anything Mario and felt bad. Thankfully he is pretty easy to please.
His room is a project left undone, that darn wall paper border and this belly of mine are to blame. It is still on the agenda to finish as a part of his birthday. Blue walls and a Mario poster are musts!

Yesterday was his first day of school. All seemed to go well. He said that he made a friend named Ryan that "tried to steal my cool backpack, then gave it back and now we are friends." Sounds about right for Kindergarten little boys. He loved the bus and accommodated me with a few pictures. (found my camera- the babysitter had it accidentally)
So we chose to send him to Kindergarten even though he makes the cut off by a mere 2 days. I think he will do ok. I hear that his teacher is "animated, loves kids, stays on task, and is on the strict side" Sounds perfect for Zac for 3 hours a day. (Can you believe K is half day here. Those work horses in Ky- LOL).

Anyway, Zac is fun, sweet, wild and 5! We love you Zac!
