Party Time:  Eight is Great

On August 22nd my big boy got a little bit bigger. We celebrated his birthday at Pump it Up with some of his school and scout friends.  He wanted a video game themed party.

I got busy and distracted one Monday and skipped myContinueContinue reading “Busy, Distracted, and Procastinating”
