Treasure! And Another Birthday Party
Brian was so happy this morning–the Tooth Fairy had brought him some cool coins! He got an Eisenhower dollar and a Susan B. Anthony–we think it’s because the eagle is landing on the moon on the tails side, and the Tooth Fairy must know he’s into space, what with the rocket ship tooth pillow. 😉 He spent a lot of time just looking at his “treasure” in the morning sunlight. He decided to keep his coins in his new treasure box that he’d painted earlier....

We thought the birthday activity was all but over with today, but when Brian was brushing his teeth, I heard a small little worried sound, a “what the..”, and then “Mommy!!!!!” I went to see what was wrong, and surprise!

Brian was a little freaked out by the surprise and blood of...

Brian’s sixth birthday party was today, and what a day it was! Wow. We started off with a few small presents with breakfast, and let Brian open his cards.

Happy Birthday to Brian! He’s an extra-lucky birthday boy today, because it’s a teacher workday at Root! No school on his birthday, that’s pretty special. 🙂 I took the day off to hang with him, and we started it off with birthday cards, a couple surprises from me, and a box from Grandpa Roger! Both kids really enjoyed opening up the box from Grandpa. Then, Kendall was off to school, and Brian and I started our day. We got some things ready for the party tomorrow, and we...

Tonight we made the trek out to Zebulon for my grandmother’s 90th birthday! We usually wouldn’t be able to go out there on a school night, but as it turns out, Brian has a teacher workday tomorrow, on his birthday, no less! 🙂 What a lucky boy. Anyway, we picked up the kids and went straight to Rosemary’s and had a quick barbecue dinner before going to Grandmother’s. When we arrived, Maurice, Gwen, and Randy were playing music and sounding great! Kendall was a...
