Saturday was his birthday. Unfortunately for him, Saturdays mean soccer. Even when its your birthday. He had to sit through two games. He was not happy but inexplicably agreed to let me take this picture.
After soccer, we took all the kids plus two of Slade's friends to Kangaroo Zoo (a warehouse full of inflatables).
They were finished playing after only an hour so we took them at Slade's request to McDonald's for dinner. He asked for three cheeseburgers!
Finally, we made it home for more presents and an evening spent playing his new video game.
The celebrations continued on Sunday morning with Lemon Poppyseed muffins and pancakes.
And still continued on Monday when Grandma Slade's present arrived. She sent a circuitry set. Dave was probably more excited than Slade but all the boys enjoyed putting together their first circuit with plans for many more to come.
He got to go to his first Cub Scout meeting on Tuesday. He loved it and told me that he thinks Tuesday will be his favorite day from now on.I asked Slade these questions two years ago. Here are this year's answers:

Hard to believe these boys are turning 8 already, isn't it? Brandon is so excited for cub scouts and getting baptized (in that order, if you ask him).
I love Slade's answers. He is so unique! I love it! What a cute boy.
What great answers! He has grown up in so many ways the past couple of years. Most of the whiny little guy is gone. Aren't we happy to see the boy he is becoming? Yes, we are! Can't wait to come for his baptism.
