Caden celebrated his 7th birthday on Wednesday, but since I'm out of town during the week and we wanted to make this birthday special for him, it's been more of a birthWEEK celebration.
Here's the rundown so far.
Monday - Cade had Cub Scouts, so it was a pretty busy night, so not much extra happened especially for his birthday, but it was still a fun day.
Tuesday - his school had a book fair, so Curt took Cade to it and let him pick out a special book for his birthday.
Wednesday - The Big Day!! Curt woke him up with breakfast in bed...a pancake in the shape of a 7 and a special face drawn on it. Then off to school, where Curt surprised him by meeting him at school for lunch with a McDonalds Mighty Kids meal since he's not a little kid anymore. ;( His class sang happy birthday to him and he got a special birthday pencil and button. He got lots of phone calls from family to sing to him that evening. Also, we have dinner with our small group every Wednesday night before church, so Curt took a special cookie cake with him and the group sang to him. He also got to open his b-day present from Pops and Grandma Bets. Thanks, he loved the shirt!!
Thursday - almost every Thursday Margaret and Lonnie watch the kids so Curt can work late, go to the gym, and run any errands he needs to WITHOUT the kids. A HUGE help!! I haven't talked to Caden yet, but the plan was to let Cade pick what he wanted for dinner, then go to Barnes and Noble to let him pick out a book and all the kids could play with the trains. A perfect outing for my kiddos!
Friday - Caden and his Cub Scout Pack have their annual banquet, so it will be another great night of celebrating Caden and all he has accomplished this year.
I'm so proud of my guy and can't believe I am a mom of a SEVEN year old. Where has the time gone????
