Today I sanded J’s wall for the last time. I then wiped the wall to remove the dust from the sanding and painted it. I just put the second coat of paint on J’s wall. It looks great! No one would know that there was ever a hole in J’s wall.
As I was painting the first coat, J was watching me – yes, he is a part of EVERY thing in this house, we should have named him Curious George – and, if you have ever painted before you know that the wet paint is always lighter in color than when it dries, and J asked me, “Mommy, is the wall going to be the same color?” Such a perfectionist in the making. Yes, sweet boy, your wall will look like the rest of your room in just a little bit.

This morning when I took the boys to school, I brought a cookie cake with a rocket ship decorated on it for C to share with his class for snack time to celebrate his birthday. I also brought a cookie cake with butterflies decorated on it for J’s teacher, who had her birthday yesterday.
When I picked up C from his room, C told me that he had a very good day, with no warning. Mrs. W. , one of C’s teacher -laughing- told me that, “C said that he was the birthday boy today and that he wasn’t to get any warnings today.” Seriously though, he did have a very fun day. C got to bring some of his birthday gifts today to show the class and C also got to bring a book for his teacher to read. C was the star of the day since he was celebrating his birthday today.

C had a very good birthday yesterday. We made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing and sprinkles. The cupcakes were to be taken to his t-ball game that he was to have Thursday evening, but the game was rained out. At C’s request, we ordered pizza for his birthday dinner. For C’s birthday he got the new Mario cart racing game for the Wii (yes, the game that B and I had already been playing…), a leapster “I Spy” game, kid friendly digital camera, old fashioned card games of Animal Rummy, Old Maid, and Go Fish, and some Star Wars legos and characters.
After school today I set up the Wii to a split screen so both boys could race Mario. They had a great time. This is why we got the extra steering wheel – so either B or I could play with the boys or they could play together.

Tomorrow we will have Christopher’s school birthday party. We have invited his classmates over to celebrate. I have a baseball pinata filled with candy, a baseball cake – that is currently in the oven and will be decorated later tonight – ice cream, snack foods, and Chinese take out boxes filled with bubbles, candy, and toys for party favors. We are going to play a relay game with a jelly bean on a spoon game and Simon Says. I think it will be lots of fun. C has looked forward to tomorrow for several weeks.

I’m off to finish doing a little cleaning. The boys have gone for a bike ride and I’m going to vacuum. Busy day tomorrow. B and I love Friday evenings – it is “game night” for the kids, meaning that we plop them in their beds with their hand held video games and then we have time together. Life is good.
