Happy Birthday CJ and Crandpa!

Happy birthday to my oldest child CJ. I cannot believe that I am the mom of a six year old. He is the brightest, funniest, most caring, silliest, loving, imaginative, wonderful, special little (big) boy in the world. I think that CJ and his dad and I ahve done a lot of growing up together. We have learned many things these past six years and been through many happy and sad times together. CJ had his first school birthday celebration today. He got to share the day with his best friend at school, Curtis. Curtis's birthday is the day after CJ's and since they don't have school tomorrow they both brought in treats today. CJ and I went to Sam's and picked out cupcakes (pirate) for today. Today also happened to e the day of the week that Craig and I go in to help out with his class. So, we got to be there to help him celebrate. Today at his class CJ also had the ticket store which CJ was very excited about. Throughout the month the kids earn tickets for completeing their work and being on good behavior. CJ got an Iron Man activity book and another small toy. To top it all of he won the game of musical chairs and earned another five point ticket :)

After school we all went to the pet store to buy Grandpa (my dad) a fish for his birthday. CJ was born on Grandpa's 50th birthday. I think Grandpa was at the hospital before we even got there that day. We had gotten Grandpa a fish for his birthday a couple of Christmas ago, but it had passed away. Of course CJ picked a green one (green being his favorite color). I think that Granpa was happy with his new friend, so happy he even suggested he would buy CJ one for his birthday so that CJ could be that happy as well. The kids were way acting up at Grandpa's......who knew after feeding them cupcakes that they would be hyper? So, we headed home.

Tomorrow we are taking CJ up to the Mills, which he calls "where the Blues practice" to have some fun in their arcade and play area. Then on Sunday the Mad Scientist is coming for his birthday party. Ever since he saw the TV comercial he could not stop talking about how he wanted a Mad Science party. And what six year old wouldn't be excitged about getting to make his own slime? CJ also invited his class to come, so this is the first year that we will have so many little kids at a party. For this I am glad that we are helping out in CJ's class....we get to know all of his friends and they are all great kids.

I would love to post pictures from today, but I am waiting on a new memory stick for my camera. I will post pictures as soon as possible.


Happy Birthday CJ!!!!!
