This weekend was all about being 8. I attended the January birthday celebration at D-man's school on Friday afternoon. It was great to see him with his friends and getting to celebrating with kids he spends so much time with. After basketball on Saturday, D-man and I picked up the doughnuts, the balloons, and snacks for the party. I had a really nice time decorating the dining room for the party with D-man. Because we were going to
JungleQuest, D-man chose a jungle theme for the decorations and goody bags.
D-man invited 3 boys to the party and all the kids had a GREAT time at JungleQuest - zip lines, ropes, rock climbing, and just running around being boys. We had Subway for the birthday dinner followed by a doughnuts made into "8s" - all D-man's ideas. I absolutely loved that a table of 8-year-old boys (and T-man) decided to do "cherry and pits" all by themselves during dinner. Apparently, sitting down to dinner with the boys is paying off. :) After opening the gifts, the boys decided to starting putting them together (2 lego sets and a Hot Wheels contraption). D-man stated it was a great day and we were both happy to have such a happy birthday boy. With every passing year, I'm sure I'll continue wonder where the years go. I just hope as the years pass, all my son's birthdays are happy.
