Jack’s Birthday

…was August 2nd, of course, but I’m just now getting around to blogging about it.  The day of Jack’s birthday was a day completely engineered by the boy from start to finish.  The perfect day, as written by a newly 7-year-old boy.  

Early morning Dunkin’ Donuts run for his birthday “cake” of choice, an Oreo Donut.  Opening presents.  Playing with the new toys—trying out kick-flips on his new skateboard and tossing around the Beam-O.  After lunch, a couple hours spent jumping on trampolines at Sky High.  Dinner at Salsarita’s.  And then, in lieu of a birthday party, our little family of four spent a night playing arcade games and then boys vs. girls for three games of laser tag.    

We hope Jack had a wonderful 7th birthday—we sure had a lot of fun!


{check out ella’s face in the next series.  i was too busy trying to make sure i didn’t miss the moment of jack blowing out the candles to be as shocked as ella.  that face of ella’s is because jack went right to blowing out the candles without letting us sing the happy birthday song to him.  hope he took the time to make a wish at least.  :) }
