Elliott turns 6!

Yes, he's 6 now. He was up bright and early to let us know that it was his birthday and that he didn't want anyone to butter his nose (we all know that was impossible)! In fact, he drew a picture of ALL the things that he didn't want to happen on his birthday, including NO TEEBALL, NO CHOMPING, NO FACE WHISKERS, NO NOSE-BUTTERING, NO WATCHING COLLEGE FOOTBALL and NO NOISES FROM ETHAN (this last one being the most difficult as any of you who have spent any time with Ethan lately would agree with). So we had birthday pancakes, he took treats to school, he got to eat at McDonald's for lunch and we opened gifts and played this afternoon. I think he had a pretty good day since he was still saying that he couldn't get to sleep at 9:30 tonight!
