Happy Birthday, Monkey!

Tomorrow is Monkey's 6th birthday and I have been scrambling to come up with a fabulous gift for him. He may have gotten gypped by having a birthday so close after Christmas but I totally score on clearance toys! So since MKH had today off, I sent him out (with Mady-Lou in tow) in hunt for presents. This is pretty scary in itself because A) MKH is completely incapable of making a decision on his own and B) He can barely shop by himself, let alone with a 5 month old. I had urged him to go to Toy's R Us becuase of their bigger selection but he didn't think he can handle it (I can just imagine him having a nervous break-down halfway through the store) so he opted for a simpler place: Wal-Mart. I'm thinking "Great, he's going to get cheap-ass toys that will break in a month." Not that Toys R Us is too much better but we don't have an overwhelming selection around here. I was waiting for THE phone call saying he'd bought our 6 year old a .22 or some other inappropriate item BUT...he picked out the perfect thing. I couldn't believe it. He got Rock Band!

This is going to be per.fect. Monkey is a music fanatic and is constantly singing, playing air guitar, break-dancing, or doing the robot. He's going to LOVE it! And, I think MKH has officially taken over roll as gift-buyer.

Chances are, I will be on mic, MKH will be on drums, and Monkey will be on guitar. It's going to be fabulous!
