So, unbelievably, Sam turned 8 this week! He opted for a Captain Underpants theme, so Mike got to work on his cake designs on Friday afternoon...
He agreed, it was nice not to be working at 10pm at night, worth the half day he took off work!
Philie's genius decorating idea, it was hilarious to see underwear all over the house. Yes, they were clean and new underwear!
Another Dr. Rodriguez masterpiece!
Happy Birthday to our goofball and goodhearted Sam!
During the party, discussion of "The Rock of Roselle" came up. This is a rock in a parking lot that many people overlook and strand their cars on top of due to it's placement. The Rock has it's own facebook page and it makes us chuckle. Our friends the Townsends shared this phenomenon with us. So, Mike had to get out the whiteboard to describe how this local site works to our family...
On Sunday (his actual birthday) Sam awoke to some presents from us, including a Crate Creature, a disc swing, and a Pikachu blanket!
Sunday we went also to Ravinia with my mom, my brother, and the Worst Family. The CSO was playing Tchaikovsky and ended with the 1812 overture with cannons, so fun!
Hattie and her lose teeth freak out Uncle josh!
The excitement of my week was borrowing my dad's power washer. I know these pics aren't exciting to anyone but me, but it was awesome! I was able to do some cement, the whole deck, and part of our fence!
You can really see the difference: right side is clean, left side is dirty!
Sam has really been enjoying his gifts this week, loving the Legos!
So now we head into the end of summer with a 10 year old, an 8 year old and a 5 year old! Looking forward to a visit from our CA friends this weekend!
