Logan's Birthday

Okay, I know Logan's Birthday was April 1st, but I've been busy. Here begins my blogging bonanza as I try to catch everyone up on the last two months of our lives.

Logan, like the girls, got to go on a shopping spree at the store. Because he'd been to both Toys 'R' Us and Walmart with his sisters, he knew exactly where he wanted to go and exactly what he wanted to get, Bakugan. I'm sure you're all thinking, "What on earth is a Bakugan?". Good question. A Bakugan is a small plastic toy in the form of a ball. Much like a transformer, these balls can be manipulated to resemble some mechanical space creature. Blessedly they do not require a doctorate degree in engineering to be able to take them from one form to the other, like you need with Transformers. All you have to do is affix them to some metal surface and the magnet inside releases the movable parts. Logan pretty much cleaned out the aisle of Bakugan there at Walmart. He also got a new bicycle because he outgrew his old one. Woo Hoo!

The kids also got to choose the restaurant that we went to for their birthday dinner and Logan chose Red Lobster of all places. My kids aren't much for fish. I did manage to get them to eat catfish once, but I think it was a fluke. Thankfully every restaurant known to man serves chicken strips, so the girls were happy. Logan, however, ordered crab legs. ??????? Huh. He did eat them, but I think he had the most fun just trying to get the meat out. He said he wanted to take one of the claws home as a souvenir, but I explained that I did not want that smell to permeate my house and he relented.

Oh, and Logan's hair was his idea. He begged me for a mohawk, but I told him a fauxhawk was just as cool and more church friendly. He's worn me down though, and I told him that we would give him a real mohawk this summer, after Nana's family pictures.
