January 29th was Ronan's half-birthday (celebrating half bdays is one of our family traditions). I thought it would be fun to wait until that day to tell Ronan that it was his half birthday, because he loves surprises! The day started off great because Ronan realized that it was a no school day--Yay! Then, I told the kids that we would be going out for a few surprises for Ronan's special day. First we went to Bounce, where we had two free passes to the open gym. They were both so excited when we pulled into the parking lot and realized where we were! It was a crowded day at the gym (because of the no school day), but it didn't bother us. We found plenty to do to keep busy during the hour+ we were there.

After Bounce we picked up Josh for lunch and to take Ronan to his next surprise...Toys R Us! We rarely take the kids there because one or both of them usually leaves in tears because they wanted to buy something.(: Ronan had been asking for & dreaming about getting an army playset that he saw there around Christmas time. He didn't get it for Christmas (what was Santa thinking??), so we thought it would be a fun thing to get for his half birthday. It was a huge hit...he was beyond excited.
For lunch we stopped at Little Caesar's Pizza for a $5 pepperoni pizza--Ronan's favorite food. (: The rest of the day Ronan kept saying to me, "Mom, thank you for surprising me today." (: "Thank you for my army stuff." We all had fun celebrating our five and a halfer!
