My baby turned 10 yesterday. I still don't know how thats possible. We started the day right with ice cream. We woke everyone up at midnight last year and took them out for ice cream. Ben loved it and asked we do that again this year. Ben actually was still awake at midnight. Zach was all for going out, but we just couldn't get the other two out of bed. Of course when Sam and Ellie got up the next morning, neither remembered us trying to wake them up and both were mad they didn't get to go. Lesson learned for next year!
Ben woke up way too early for being out until 1am and he made sure everyone else was up and knew he was 10. He requested cinnamon rolls for breakfast. He wanted cookies for his after dinner treat so we (mostly Ben) made them. After relaxing a bit, we headed to Mongolian Grill for lunch. It was amazing and we all ate too much. That has become Bens favorite restaurant, and I'm ok with that! After lunch we headed to the pool. For almost 4 hrs we swam inside and outside, went down the slide, in the whirl pool, by the bubbles, to the kid section and back again. We were all ready to leave. We went home for a little dinner and cookies. Jon and Ben took a bike ride and the rest of us were done. Everyone was asleep early last night.
Jon was off yesterday and today. We went out to Panera for breakfast also per Bens request. We've probably gained 10lbs for his b-day. We did some bowling and the kids are working on home made bow and arrows with dad right now and loving every minute of him being home on a Tuesday.
