Logan is one of those lucky kids whose birthday happens to fall on or around a 4 day weekend. Matt decided to take those days off as well. We had plans for the pumpkin patch and/or apple orchard. Unfortunately it rained A LOT that weekend and neither of those things happened. But it was still a good weekend with Logan's birthday party and a trip out of town to spend that birthday money.
Logan really wanted a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party this year. This was, by far, the easiest party to decorate, thanks to Pinterest and the new movie. Logan is picky about his TMNT, though, and really prefers the more cartoonish ones. So I used a lot of images from the 90s turtles...the best ones in my opinion. I decided to go ahead and let Wal-Mart do the cake and it turned out pretty good. Logan loved the cake topper and it is currently sitting on his bookshelf.

He is still making his way through playing with new toys. He has some new games to play, puzzles to put together, and a couple new Lego sets. I think the train station set will be put on hold until a long weekend...lots of pieces and I think it's going to take awhile ;) That one better stay put together lol.
The day after his birthday we decided to take a trip to Champaign. Trips out of town like that are rare these days (the last time we were up there was Christmas break). We went to the mall, Toys r Us and of course, Target. We had fun playing at the mall in the Spirit Halloween store. They had all kinds of spooky stuff on display and you could activate them by stepping on a pedal. Logan really wanted to know what they all did but wasn't brave enough to activate them himself: so we let Dad do it. It was fun watching Dad's reactions too hehe.
