Brooke’s 7th Birthday Party

Today celebrated Brooke’s birthday with pancakes, opening presents, and a party at Cloud9.  She had a great time playing with her friends and AJ had a lot of fun getting some cool videos (even some slow motion ones).  She had a great day!

Brooke’s 7th Birthday

Because Brooke was going to have such a busy actual birthday we let her open her gift from Alex the day before.  On her birthday she got birthday donuts before school, we brought her lunch at school, and she got cake before AJ had to leave for work and she hurried off to ballet.  I made her favorite dinner, stroganoff, when we got home from rehearsal.

 

Mother’s Day

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day being celebrated.  The kids melted down over who would read the cards to me and then after they calmed down I got serenaded.  I got a new office chair and we all went to lunch and then the symphony.  It was lovely!

That Day….

….that Alex feel asleep on the way to the library and I carried his almost 60lb sleeping body out of the car all the way to the 2nd story children’s section way in the back and laid him down in our favorite window seat and he took a forty minute nap in broad daylight with people all around while I read to Brooke.

Brooke’s 1st Grade Field Trip

I chaperoned Brooke’s field trip to Hickory Ridge Farms and AJ met us at the fields.  Brooke had a great time with her school friends!
