We've had quite a weekend!  My Favorite Boy celebrated his 10th birthday (how is that possible?), and then his sister got a stomach virus.  She was sick for about 36 hours, but was able to go back to school this morning (Wednesday).  I'll share the details of the birthday party, but I'll spare you the rest. :)

My Favorite Boy enjoyed a fun afternoon with his buddies at the local skating rink. They spent time playing the arcade games, eating pizza and cake, and skating. I love to skate, so I enjoy watching my kids having fun at the skating rink like I did as a child.

(Not sure why he has become a Ravens fan, but he wasn't happy that they lost on his birthday!)

Grandma deserves a special shout-out for coming to help at the party.  She endured over two hours of very loud music and was almost taken out by a teenage girl on wobbly wheels. (Grandma was standing by the wall, but you're not safe anywhere in a rink full of kids!)


My Favorite Boy came home to enjoy his presents and mail that had arrived.  He had a great 10th birthday.  I can't believe he's ten, but I am so thankful that I have had the past decade with him, and I pray I will be blessed with many more!
