Crazy Weekend

Wow is all I can say about Brenden's birthday party. We had 5 ten year olds spending the night and they were here from 4pm Saturday til noon on Sunday. Looking back I wish I would of hidden Brenden's electric guitar. Geesh, one boy wouldn't put that thing down and I had to ask him to put it down while Brenden was opening presents. And another thing during presents was that all the kids were on their cell phones. Can you believe that! A kid who was mad that he wasn't invited was texting a few of them during the present part and I had to ask the boys to all wait til after that was over to pick up their phones again. So during cake I got a picture of all the boys on their cell phones, including Brenden. They were probably all texting each other. So as for the party itself, the boys played in Banzai Falls (the blow up waterslide that has a pool at the bottom), played football, foosball, Wii, and watched movies at night. Two boys said they went to sleep around 3 and another one said he went to sleep around 4 and Brenden and another boy were the last to go to sleep after 5am. I woke up one boy at 9:15 because he had to get ready for church and then all the boys got up. As for presents, Brenden got $20, $25 gift card to Target, $20 gift card to Target, a DS game, a Cavaliers hat from Spencer and Cassidy, a Lebron James Cavs jersey from us and a scooter from us. His favorites are the cavs gear. He is a big Lebron fan.

Today is Micah's birthday. He's been Brenden's best friend since kindergarten and lives across the street. Brenden spent the night there last night and they are doing things today for Micah's birthday. Friday night both Brenden and Spencer spent the night at Josh and Jenny's (our nephew and his wife) for their daughters' birthday. Haley is turning 9, Hannah is turning 6 and Hope is turning 4 all in July but they are moving in two weeks so they had the party early. And on Sunday night Brenden went to the drive-in with Micah and his mom to watch Transformers and didn't get home til 12:15am. So that boy has had like no sleep in the past several days.

Yesterday (Monday) Spencer had his best friend Zach over and Zach's sister Haley who is also 3 like Cassidy and they all played in Banzai Falls. And Spencer lost another tooth yesterday and I was informed by him this morning that the tooth fairy didn't come and that I need to make sure I emailed her yesterday. Man, I feel bad about that! I was so tired (gee, I wonder why?) and completely forgot about it last night. And one last random bit of info, Spencer went jogging with me yesterday and he kept up the whole time. His leg is hurting him this morning since it was his first time jogging. He went two miles with me and I picked up Richard, Cassidy and the dog for the last mile, of which I walked. I've been either jogging 3 miles each night or 2 miles and picking them up for the last mile on days that Richard wants to go too. Brenden goes with me every night but since he was gone last night Spencer said he'd like to go. I didn't think he'd be able to do it but he did and I'm so proud of him.
