Happy 10th Birthday Jacob

Jacob had his 10th birthday on the 15th of March. Since it was so close to St. Patricks Day we had that be the theme. First Isaac had a Leprechaun Lunch at preschool the same day. We made green biscuits and cut them in half. Then we died the peanut butter and honey green and made sandwiches. He also took a green apple and green M&M's. He loved it.

Then I had to hurry home and finish Jacob's cake. He wanted a Lego cake so to fit it in the leprechaun theme I made it into a rainbow made of Lego's with a pot of gold (yellow M&M's) at each end. It turned out pretty cute, but it wasn't very stable so I had to support it before it fell over.

We had the Republican Caucus meeting the same night as his birthday so we had to get right to his party when the kids got home from school. Their dad had spent the day planning a treasure hunt. There were 24 clues and it took them almost 2 hours to complete, but they had a lot of fun!

This is the treasure they found out in our camper at the end of the hunt.

Then it was time to open the presents. John made this for Jacob all on his own at the neighbors house.

 Jacob now gets to go to Webelos in Scouts. He is so excited! He LOVES Scouts!

 This is the quilt I made him. He has known about it and been really excited about it. I am a little disappointed with it because it is way to busy, but I used the fabric he wanted and he loves it so I can live with it!

 He has wanted some handcuffs for a while and Grandparents Makin gave them to him with some play-doh. He was pretty excited!

I am happy that we are done with birthdays for a few months. Now maybe I can get some there stuff done. We don't have another one until September, then I get to start all over again!
