In the morning we got up and went to church. Evan got a LSU hat from his Aunt Jenny, and we informed him that we would take him shopping for a pair of Heelys for his birthday. For those that don't know, Heelys are shoes with removable wheel that fits into the heel. He has been asking for these since he was about 3 1/2.
We surprised Evan with a trip to the Rainforest Cafe as a combination Mother's Day/Birthday lunch. At the end, he was surprised with a chocolate Volcano cake that had a sparkler in the top, and he stood on his chair while they sang Happy Birthday to him (the alternative one of course).
After lunch we went shopping for the Heelys. Mom and Dad lucked out as we found a pair on sale for half price. It was a good thing that we didn't try to buy them ahead of time as we ended up with a pair two sizes bigger than what he has been wearing in a shoe. Evan loved them, and wore them out of the mall.
We had a video conference call with The Haluskas in New Jersey (Grandma, Grandpa, Great-Grandma, and Isaac), and got to share all of the weekends events, as well as wish Grandma Amanda a Happy Mother's Day.
Evan went to bed with his Heelys--holding the wheels in his hands, and Mom and Dad were glad he had a happy day, but a bit melancholy about him growing up.
