Simple Birthdays

this year was calv's first friend party additional 2nd grade homeboys would be converging upon our house

i tidied the house up a little. i some helium oons on a lark. i made calvin take a shower because he was a crusty sweatball after lunching at the mcdonald's play land

party rock is in the house tonight

exactly minutes pre-party i decided something was lacking

the party ended up a raging success. the boys played rough in the basement

they threw me

behold: party favors. fill your pockets on your way out the door

i prayed that he would relax his 8-year-old shoulders in the deep grace of his dazzling

i'm so super proud of both of you

birthdays are always exciting

me

but i'm getting a of myself

last week was busy extreme. we had plans every night of the week. and thursday was cory's birthday

somewhere around tuesday night i had a meltdown wherein i cried everything i had to do and my certainty that no one would feel loved on his birthday

course the world seemed happier in the morning. so i regrouped and soldiered on

maybe i'm trying to throw the cards in my favor

voila

i ke asking myself

i'll be honest

those boys were so fun and cute. they were so easy to please

i say this all the time to you and i say it even more to him but i can't fathom how i ever ended up

happy birthday

happy birthday

i hope you loved your parties
