One Year Older

I keep telling him to stop growing, to stop getting older. But the kid just won't listen to me!

He turned 7 on Tuesday.

The little stinker.

My favorite little man.

Okay, okay. Time to document:

He had his party Saturday the 16th. We invited 12 little boys in the hopes that half of them would show up. Wouldn't you know...ELEVEN came! Add to that my little house, the rain/wind storm that was happening outside, and the very active games we had planned for these boys...it was chaos. Fun chaos. We did Angry Birds, so we set up boxes with balloons as the birds for the boys to knock over with balls. We had them shoot the balloons with dart guns. When it wasn't raining they were out in the park doing just what little boys do. We had 3 boys (one of them being Eric) end up in tears. We had one with a bloody nose. See? Chaos. Eric had a good time, and I think most of his buddies did too.

His birthday was on Tuesday. Pedro and I took Bri and her friend, Jake, to the school to have lunch with the birthday boy. After school was presents and cake and the dinner of his choice(macaroni and cheese and chips). He got a lot of building type toys. Legos, K'nex, Constructobots. He was in little boy heaven. We spent the night assembling toys and answering calls from his adoring fans (aka: grandparents).

Overall, a good celebration. We love our Eric.
