Quick Weekend Wrap Up -

[kyburg]

No, I haven't been here since Thursday. The weekend went well, but there were things on the list that got jettisoned - and not being on the intarnets? Prime - first thing to go. I have people to socialize with, take sightseeing, play with and yeah - so I catch up with you now. (Anything I should know?)

There are pictures, and I'm sure there will be more tonight so - wait for them.

I have a very happy five year old today. If he manages not to jump out of his skin at school today, I will consider it a completely successful mission.

Dinner tonight is at Buffalo Wild Wings, which reminds me. (Gotta call 'em.)

We managed Nisei Week on Saturday, King's Hawaiian (and Park Time) on Sunday - with the most AWESOME kid's birthday on record at My Gym in the afternoon, EVAR - he's got two laundry baskets FULL of presents to open when he gets home tonight.

(Unfortunately, someone thought a lightsaber was a great gift - which means he gets The Talk about weapons before he gets access to his own present, FAIL, but that's what The Mommy is for. 9_9)

I also do believe my kid is smitten for an older woman. She's 10 and they bonded over Pokemon. Ah, youth. *laughs* He wants playdates. She's going to Scotland with her family for a vacation. Ah, love will wait for her return. (And I predict the teachers at school are going to wonder where the sudden interest in Scotland came from.)

My sister wants him for an overnight stay - and other kids want playdates - and is it possible that we might get time during waking hours, not at work, where he is doing something - and we might not be needed every waking moment? That would be different. It might also be awesome - for every kind of reason.

People got a good look at my evenings Saturday night. Yes, it does suck that loud. *shrug* You do what works, it often means shaving off pieces to make it fit. That's cryptic and it can stay that way.

I swore up and down the kid would thud on the way home from his party. Nope. Too hungry. He got a full dinner down, a bath, television - the only concession was no book reading, just a story in bed. THEN, the thuddage occurred. I haven't seen him sleep that soundly in a very, very long time. Only one call of nature during the night - compared to last year? This is also very reassuring. Woke up happy and ready to go - which is also different.

Best Birthday ever.

So much more - but I have to go get fed or I'll fall over. Catch up some more soon -

Happy birthday.

I can so relate to the feeling of being needed all the time. We have that with Alan a lot! And the amazing feeling when he's not around and having fun with a friend or relative.

We still owe him a rocket.

I am giggling that he is head over heels for N.

Cross check with Penny, but it would appear to be mutual. Tight as ticks most of the party. I'm as surprised as you!

Ah, Pokemon -- the universal language of love...
