Nicholas turns 9

The kids each get $100 from us and they get to go on their own shopping spree.
This is one of the things Nicholas chose...his Webkinz named "Hershey"

I really don't know how it is even possible, but my baby has turned 9.
Our day started out kind of bumpy. I got called in on my "On Call Hours" the night before...
Getting home at 3:30 am. I didn't even realize how tired I was, but ended up sleeping through my alarm in the morning. The other boys get themselves off on their own, but Nicholas still depends on me. He came in at 9:30 am appalled that I would sleep in on his birthday.
(Frankly, I was more appalled than he was.)
He and I drove over to Krogers and picked up cupcakes for him to share with his class, and I took him to school.
For our birthday family celebration time, Nicholas wanted to celebrate his birthday at Chuck E. Cheese

Can I tell you how much I love these boys?

The kids were able to get some cool little prizes.
Everyone had fun together!
Happy Birthday Nicholas!
