8 years ago on Monday (2/28/03) we put an offer on this house. Now we have an 8 year old, an almost 6 year old and a 2 year old and are nearing the end of a major remodel. I can't believe our kids are growing the way they are - bright, thoughtful, fun, pushy, argumentative, sassy - all of it wrapped up into their maturing selves. I can't stand it, and I love it, too.
It was a great day, full as always. The 5 of us went to the doughnut shop for Birthday doughnuts. We took Wyatt a ham sandwich from Subway (his request), and his class celebrated his birthday with chocolate dipped rice krispy treats. When Matthew got home from work, we opened presents - Daphne was beside herself wanting to help! We went to The Dog for dinner (I think this is the 3rd year in a row with this as his choice for his b-day dinner) and then to Baskin Robbins for dessert (we'll have cake on Sat. with his buddies). Matthew had to leave from there to go coach. The kids and I came home, put Daph to bed and then Annabelle, Wyatt and I played a new game Wyatt got, called Creationary (imagine Pictionary except you build the picture with Legos! It's not as simple as it sounds!).
It was so much fun doing all things just for Wyatt. Everyone else has to suck it up and just know that this is the other's day. Wyatt went to bed with a smile on his face and I'm pretty sure had a great day.
I'm really trying to get away from the big bash birthday parties, so Saturday Wyatt is having 5 friends come over for about 4 hours to just play. They can play Wii, Legos, play outside, eat snacks, have pizza and sing Happy Birthday, and that's it! I'm hoping they enjoy just having time to hang out and enjoy each other. We'll see how it works out!
Happy Birthday Wyatt!!! We love you!!!
