Birthday boy


November 13!  At an eye cracking 5:59am, Austin was ready to announce to the world that he was turning 6 today.  He got to open one present before school and I felt like a hag because we didn't have time to play with it I told a child who just opened a great gift that "you can't play with that"  Poor guy.  Although we made up for it after school ten-fold.

6 was pretty great for Austin.  He and I had a date for lunch at McDonalds, a free pumpkin milkshake, and he got to wear a crown all day long at kindergarten. Then at snack time he passed out mud and bugs to the kids!  Then he got to leave school early.  What could be better? 

For dinner he wanted macaroni and cheese.  So instead of serving him the standby Kraft box, I decided to make homemade mac and cheese. You know, the kind with butter, cheddar and cream?  Paula Dean's mac and cheese?  Well, one bite of this delicious comfort food and he said, "Oooh.  What's this?  I want the orange stuff!"  Hats off to you Kraft.

My kids won't eat the homemade kind either! Kraft has ruined them.
