Jake's Birthday (11/20)

Jake turned two in November, and he is a such a big boy. He wanted a bat cake, so a bat cake he got. I think it turned out pretty cute too. He loved opening presents. I kind of forgot to get him something when I was at Walmart, so I decided to wrap up all of the boys toys that I had confiscated from Will and Nate for not cleaning their room. The plan was the boys could earn a toy back everyday their room was clean, but they quickly forgot about the toys, and not too much later, I did too. So it turned out really well, I had a lot of toys for Jake's birthday. As he opened the presents, Will and Nate would comment, "Cool Jake, I used to have a toy like that." I laughed and said, "You Did? Whatever happened to that toy." I later told them that they were the boys toys, and they didn't care a bit that I gave them to Jake. Maybe next year I won't buy Christmas presents either.
