Today my oldest turned 9- man daddy is sure getting old! We had a party yesterday- after much praying it stopped raining. I was worried I was going to have to entertain a group of children in my house... that wouldn't have been good. The sun came out and it warmed up-so everyone had a blast. I guess the older you get the more you get money- A came away with almost $100 in cash and $35 in Wal Mart cards. He has only asked 50 times to go to Wal Mart. I have put him off since tonight is a school night. They are only in school half days this week- so since it was his birthday, when I picked him up from school- we went to lunch. We almost wound up at McDonald's... but had a change of heart at the last minute and moved up a notch to Pizza Hut. They watched cartoons while eating, so it was great in their eyes. I am still having trouble accepting the fact that he is 9 years old. Only 364 more days and he will reach double digits!
On Saturday we had a home swim meet. The boys came away with several heat ribbons. In order to get a heat ribbon, you must come in first and not DQ. A got at least 5 of these ribbons and was royally ticked he was DQed and didn't' get #6! We were very lucky only 3 teams were in this meet- so it was fast and also they both got awards. A was telling everyone- I was the only one in my age group. I tried to explain to him- don't say that... just let them think you are an awesome swimmer! I guess he is too honest- which is a good thing.
We have 2 more half days and then summer is officially here- I don't know how we will cope- they are already fighting- I guess they are to the age when the other annoys the crap out of the other. We are looking forward to having friends come back for a repeat visit- had so much fun in the pool with some friends that live a little of an hour away. So much fun to see those we don't get to see daily.
Gotta get ready for awards day in the am- and then another party with A's class to finish out the year. Then we will officially be 4th graders! Man Daddy is really getting old! HE HE HE
