We had a VERY busy week last week!
Tuesday, Brad went to the church to prepare for Wednesday.
I stayed home to clean for the weekend.
Wednesday was the Ice Cream Olympics (you can see in a previous post how that took over our evening!)
Thursday was May 5th. A pretty important day :)
~*~ WESLEY'S BIRTHDAY ~*~
After school, we stopped by Cup of Hope for a little treat. He didn't like the sound of any of the cupcakes (I did, but he didn't) so he opted to try a chocolate chip scone instead.
After the snack, we had to finish up a science project (only the 3rd this year...) We were making a model of a plant cell. Since it was assigned and due during his birthday week, I thought Wes would enjoy making it as a cake :)
And didn't he do an awesome job?
Then, Thursday night, we had a very special dinner! Pork filets with baked potatoes and the very last ears of corn from Wesley's crop. What a special treat! As you can see in the photo, he LOVED it!
We gave him a Ripley's Believe It or Not book. ... and he couldn't believe it! :) In fact, he was so fascinated that he almost forgot about his other gifts! (almost)
The 2nd gift was a bit of a mystery.
What could it be?
Computer Parts!! Brad and Wesley had a wonderful time putting the pieces together to make Wesley's very first computer!
When Saturday arrived, it was another crazy day!
We started the day off icing a LOT of cupcakes. Then we headed to Collinsville Day for lunch :)
After that, it was...
~*~ PARTY TIME ~*~
Sombreros for all the kids...
and some of the adults!
Even a pinata - from Mexico no less!
The newspaper stuffing was in Spanish!
I have to say the party was a complete success - everyone seemed to have a great time and the food was yummy.
After the party, we were all pretty exhausted. My parents stayed in town so I got to briefly see my mom on Mother's Day before they headed back to Birmingham.
~*~ MOTHER'S DAY ~*~
We had a good service Sunday morning and a wonderful breakfast for the ladies :) Then I headed home with my 2 favorite guys and was spoiled with relaxation, fun, and gifts.
Brad gave me 12 (!) petunias to plant in the front garden. I waited for it to cool off outside, but finally I couldn't wait any longer. I now have 11 bright pink accents and 1 purple / white plant. Can't wait for them to grow and grow :)
I logged some time playing video games with Wesley before I was presented with a beautiful purple flowery frame (custom-wrapped by Wesley himself)
I love the frame, don't get me wrong, but my favorite part was the card...
It says, "To a Mom who is terrific, fun, caring, a great cook, special, helpful and most of all.... very, very loved"
I certainly FELT very, very loved.

Super sweet card Wesley! I agree with all that you said. :)
That's the most amazing plant cell I've ever seen...yum!
I told Wesley you liked his card and he was visibly proud of himself :)
