Austin's 6th Birthday
I was really trying to stay on top of things and post fairly regularly and then our computer decided to stop working last week. So...I have been basically computerless for a week (I did have my work laptop but it blocks so many sites, it's not even worth using). So.....here is what you missed in our exciting world :)
We had our first "snow" last week. I think we got a whopping 1/2 inch of snow.....of course the schools were delayed here....you know it could be treacherous :).
Luckily Austin's school is a charter school and doesn't have buses, so they went to school on time. When I drove him to school, the sidewalk wasn't even wet. The boys kept asking me...."how come there isn't any snow on the roads?" They are so used to seeing snow in Colorado.
When Austin was younger, he would constantly ask when his birthday is. So, we started telling him that his birthday would be after it snowed since it always snowed a time or two before his birthday when we lived in Colorado. When Austin saw the snow, he said "It must be my birthday."
His birthday was two days later. Austin had his first real friends birthday. We have had birthday parties for him in the past but it was basically friends of ours, relatives, etc.
He invited 9 kids from his kindergarten class and he had a cosmic bowling party. It was a blast! The kids were hilarious bowling. One of the kids told me "I have never bowled in real life.....just on the Wii." Then we had a family party at my parents' house on Sunday (his actual birthday).
He got a lot of fun gifts. One of his favorite gifts is the police uniform that my parents gave him. Austin started telling us this summer that he was going to be a police officer when he grows up. He usually flits from thing to thing, so I figured it was the "thing of the week" but he seems to really be into the whole police officer thing.
It is fun (and a little sad) to see how much our little guy has grown up.
