Attention blog readers... SLACKER MOM ALERT!!! Yes, it's been a week since Caitlin's birthday and has there been even a peep on the blog? Uh... no. There are several things I could blame - prepping for my RS lesson, being gone every single night last week, but I think I'm going with the "hangover" from Caitlin's birthWEEK's celebrations. I say birthWEEK because it took about a week to celebrate her birthday!
The party started when Aunt Teri and Uncle Trace came to town - let the celebratory spoiling commence! Add a shopping trip reminicent of Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" (minus the whole hooker angle) at the local Justice store to pick out her birthday outfit, cough cough, er wardrobe. Also add a special round of golf and a barbecue in her honor and you'll understand the birthWEEK hangover.
That brings us to 8.9.10! We started off Catie's 10th birthDAY with an early morning trip to Ruth's Diner for breakfast (yes, Caitlin's "sad eyes" were effective in getting both Mom and Dad to take a vacation day off work).
Then we had the birthDAY party at Boondocks. I do believe a fun time was had by all (judging by the difficulty I had getting them all rounded up to leave).
Brian took a break from soaking random stranger's children to attack his own.
Um... could we have quiet in the 4D theater? That would be a "no."
Austin, I know I'm your Mom and all, but you kind of got schooled in arcade ticket collecting by Davis there. You're not flipping me off, are you? Oh, all of your tickets are neatly folded in your other hand. Nice save.
And here is a photo that stikes fear in my heart now that Caitlin has reached double digits in age (as Jaedon tells his mom - they are "pre-teens" now) - WATCH THE ROAD AND NOT THE CAMERA! Everyone keeps telling me, "just wait until she's 16!" Now I have more reason to worry.
This probably won't come as a shock, but Caitlin is already planning next year's birthday party.

Ah, totally worth the wait! Happy belated birthday Caitie. Looks like you had one heck of a week! So when do we get to see the pics of the Justice outfits???
Well, I have survived 3 girls learning to drive. I think my hands are permanently clenched, hehehe. Dating, trying to cut the apron strings, be independent (by ignoring chores, checking in, thinking of others,etc.) Oh the joys. But, there is a great deal of fun as well. I love seeing these amazing individuals emerge.
cute pics. At least caitybug wasnt on her phone as well. Happy bday.
Fun! Happy Birthday Caitlin! Glad you guys got see G&G Griffiths! Grandpa still counts my ribs....it's a killer to my ribs!
