Only 11 days late for this post but I have been trying to post it for 4 days! Computer issues!!
Anyway, Trenton turned 10 on Jan. 18th. His cake was easy because he really isn't a fan of cake and just wanted a pan of brownies. Now I can handle that!!
He was very happy that his Grammy was able to make it for his birthday! And if you can't tell it looks like she gave him a baseball bat! When he asked for one I said, " I thought you already had a baseball bat?" He said, " Mom, that is a T-ball bat!" all in a DUH mom voice. OOPs sorry, what do mom's know anyway right? 
He was very excited for Indiana Jones lego for the wii! I think he may have already passed the entire thing. Or he is close to finishing it. I don't know. He stayed up til 1 am on his birthday playing it. Only because he didn't have school the next day and his uncle Alex told him to tell me to let him stay up that late and told him to go for it! It was a struggle for him but he was determined. He kept asking what time it was and I would say, "oh 12:30" And then he'd reply "ok, only a half hour more" It was funny.
He got a rip stick. He had mentioned before Christmas that he wanted one. So being the great mom that I am I picked it up the day after Thanksgiving at a smokin' deal! When he opened it he didn't seem as excited. We asked if he really liked it/wanted it and he hesitated not wanting to hurt our feelings. We told him to tell the truth and he said, "not really". So we told him we were glad that he shared his feelings rather than pretending it is what he wanted and then letting it collect dust and never get used. So we returned it and he got the cash. He is still trying to decide what he wants instead. He may save up for an ipod.
On the 17th, the day before his birthday it was the Pinewood derby. Being the chocolate lover that he is he went for the Hershey bar car. His car came probably in the middle of the rankings. He won some and lost some but had a great time! His car was voted the "Most Tasty" car.
