My only son will probably look back on this one as the worst birthday ever. He started running a fever mid-week, and we couldn't get rid of it by yesterday (doctor's visit notwithstanding). So, we had to call all his friends and tell them not to come to the birthday party originally planned for today. What makes matters worse is that he's been looking forward to this birthday party and planning it (starring none other than Lightening McQueen of Cars fame) for about five months!

So, even though his fever was going up and down, he woke up from his nap this afternoon to a lovely cake his mom fixed from pictures on the 'net and ice cream. He opened a couple of presents from family and we hope to reschedule the party, but by the time all that happens, the fun will have worn off.
