A Variety of Birthdays

My baby boy turned 10! He told me he thinks his singing voice is changing and he's getting some "peach fuzz" under his arms. Friggin' hilarious. My mom made a BIG 10 cake and it was sooo delicious. We only had one piece left. She's such a trooper, the next day she made 30 cupcakes for him to take to school and share with his class. They were lemon flavored and they must have been a big hit because when I picked him up from school a couple of his classmates came up to me to tell me how good they were.



He got an entire arsenal of Nerf guns so he and his friends ran around like soldiers pretending they were simultaneously under attack and trying to protect something, I'm not quite sure what. But they seemed to have a great time.



If anyone is doing any shopping for my birthday I would like some wooden sock blockers. :)

Knitting Fiend

I've been knitting so furiously of late I can't even keep up with the pics. I promise this weekend I'll post pics.

My mom and I made a road trip to Baltimore to see Tina's school production of Pippin. It was very well done. The sets were incredible and you could see a lot of work went into it. Frank didn't come because he was at dad's for the weekend. When I told him we had gone he was VERY upset and even cried. Sorry little dude. I won't leave you behind again.

Bittersweet Snow Day

I've signed up for auto-text alert so that I'm instantly notified when there is a delay or closing due to snow. This is great! I don't even have to get out of the bed, I just roll over look at the text message and shut off my alarm.

However, remember how great it was when you were a kid sitting on the couch in your pajamas listening to the radio for the delays and cancellations. Remember how jazzed you were to hear your school name read on the radio. If you weren't paying close enough attention, or if someone was talking you had to sit and listen for another 15 minutes til they came back around to your school. Those were great times. When I was in elementary school it meant I had the whole day to myself to watch TV, play outside, go around the neighborhood and get my friends. When I was in junior high it meant...back to bed!
