He and Jason made palm trees and put them up around the living room--some of them complete with monkeys! They also made lots of jungle flowers and giant leaves.
Ben got out any animal from his collection that may live in the jungle--and even cleaned them all up at the end of the day, too!
Benjamin had grown some grass seeds at preschool, so he was able to use this as part of the decor.
We went out for lunch, where Benjamin had a pirate pack--this gave him lots of excuses to say things like "ARRG" and "Me Hearty" (Yes, I realize this has nothing to do with the jungle--I think Ben was practicing for his upcoming pirate party that he's planning for his own birthday!).
In the evening, Jason helped me make dinner, then we all watched Jungle Book.
I wasn't too excited to enter my "late 30s," but watching Ben and Jason go through so much work to make my birthday special made me feel a bit better. And when Ben gets one of his big ideas, it's hard not to catch some of the enthusiasm!
I have to admit, I'm glad the day is over, though--I love celebrating other people's birthdays, but I always seem to have trouble with my own . . . I'm just glad when it's DONE :)

Ben has some very imaginative ideas! It sounds like you had a good Birthday,whether you wanted to or not! Did Janae contribute anything or did she just go along with Ben's ideas!
