Yesterday was Solly’s birthday, as many of you know. I’ve been asking him in the last few weeks what he wants to do for his birthday. All I could get out of the kid was “Tomatoes!” I’m not even kidding. By giving him some options, we settled on his birthday supper and dessert. Hotdogs, with cucumbers and grape tomatoes (obviously) and chips. I gave him the option of all kinds of desserts, and he settled easily on cookies.
With the easiest supper plans ever, the day was super relaxed. The big kids biked a bit, and Solly played on the deck.
Wavy slept. Or at least she was supposed to be sleeping…
Busted.
My sister is out for the weekend, so she and my mom came over and joined the fun. It was such a nice low key evening of laughter and celebrating and good food.
After supper, we all grabbed a few cookies and headed out for a walk around the pond, like we try to do most days now. I don’t have pictures to show for it, but it was pretty much the ideal way to wrap up a day of celebrating Solomon!
Except that the kids were wired and didn’t fall asleep for quite some time. And then it turned out I was actually wired, too, and finally took something to help me fall asleep around 1:00am. Whoops! Its all good, though. I woke up in enough time to make it to the parade today 🙂
I hope you’re having a happy weekend, my friends!
