and the birthday begins...

During dinner tonight, there was a knock at the door. It was the UPS woman! It doesn't matter that it is a few days before his birthday, Emmett always asks if the package has his name on it. This time it actually did! Presents from Grandma and Grandpa. Of course- we used them to "eat a good dinner" and "open after a good bathtime". Then we called Grandpa to see if we were to open the wrapped presents that were in the said box. The answer was yes. He began tearing into packages and Joey was non-stop chiming in with "Happy Birfday!" Emmett opened a foam rocket that launches when you stomp on the launch ball/pad thing, a adventure land set(that is full of small pieces ;) ) , another rocket that needs to wait for a nice day outside and a flashlight in the shape of Rex from Toy Story. It roars when you pull the trigger and his mouth opens to shine the light. Jolene HATES it! She screamed and hid under the dinner table until it was put away. I think the greatest saying of all time came from our little almost 4 year old boy when he shot his first rocket. "Totally Awesome! That's how I say "Cool" in Spanish!" Our bilingual smarty pants!
