Happy Birthday, CONNOR!

I'm hoping that Connor's birthday will be super special this year even though we aren't having a "blow-out" party and his daddy is in California (wishing so much he was here).

We are having Connor's party at Chuck E. Cheese tonight with just moms and 9-10 kids: Jaxson (5), Justice (4), Aidan (5), Kenzie (5), Broox (3), Ryder (3), Emma (almost 4), Lucy (2), & maybe Kora (3)...and of course the birthday boy!

Last night after he went to sleep I put streamers up on the outside of his door (hoping he would stay in his bed all night and they wouldn't frighten him if he got up in the middle of the night) and balloons up on the mantle. I lucked out and although I did go to his room for about 2 hours from 1:00-3:00 am, he stayed put. When he came out this morning he was so excited to go through his "car wash"! And he kept pointing to the balloons on the fireplace...as if I didn't know they were there. :)

He has "school" today at the YMCA. I'm thankful he'll have a day of fun there and I can finish getting things ready for his party and clean up the house a bit. He took brownie bites with red frosting and sprinkles to share with his class for his special day.

Connor has only really asked for one thing for his birthday: the impossible to find Transformer Rescue Bot, Blades. It is the only one he doesn't have and I can't believe I'm actually writing this, but I was "lucky" to find it for $60 on an affiliate of the Sears.com website. It came in about 3 weeks ago and I can't wait to see his face when he opens it!
