I'm so lame. I didn't even get a "happy birthday" post up this year. To be honest, it just sort of slipped my mind and then Friday was SO busy that I didn't have time. Better late than never, right?!
Opening Wii games that they REALLY wanted:
Basil and I made these notes for our gifts. Jacob's said "this coupon good for a trip to the pet store to pick out the parakeet of your choice." Jonah's said the same except that leopard gecko or bearded dragon was substituted for parakeet. That's right people, I've lost my mind. If you happen to run across it, please put it in the mail asap.
Jonah went for the bearded dragon, thank GOD because those leopard geckos are UH-GLY!
Jacob had a very specific parakeet in mind. I felt sorry for the poor Petco guy who had to chase it around the cage when they all pretty much look the same. Jacob never took his eye off of the one he wanted though.
Note to self: Get the boy a haircut. For real.
Meet Spike the bearded dragon...
...and King Koopa the parakeet. Poor Koopa, he should drop dead of fright any second now.
After we got the new critters all set up, we headed to Chuck E Cheese's.
Everybody loves Chuck E Cheese's.
So that's it. It was a really nice and busy day. I thought maybe there might be problems when Thursday night before bed Caleb started talking about birthdays, balloons and cake. The conversation went something like this:
Everybody loves Chuck E Cheese's. 
I don't know who had more fun, Caleb or Basil.
So that's it. It was a really nice and busy day. I thought maybe there might be problems when Thursday night before bed Caleb started talking about birthdays, balloons and cake. The conversation went something like this:-------------------
Caleb: burtday puh-cakes (he calls cupcakes "puh-cakes")
Me: Yes, we'll have birthday cake tomorrow for Jacob and Jonah's birthday.
Caleb: No, Cawub's burtday.
Me: No, it's Jacob and Jonah's birthday. Are you going to sing to them?
Caleb: No it's Cawubs. I wake up I be so happy.
------------------
Then Friday morning he went on about "Cawub's presents" when he saw everything. It ended up being fine though, he sang, ate cake and helped Jacob and Jonah open their things. Whew. There's really no way to explain it to a two year old, I'm glad I didn't have to try!
