Logans Birthday....

Logan turned 7 yesterday, and as he put it " it was the best birthday ever!" The day started out crazy since I had to go to the store, bake 2 cakes, and get us all ready to be out the door by 11. I had to stop by the bank before heading out to Peter Piper Pizza. My kids were as friendly as they always are and were talking to a nice old lady in the line. They told her we were going to PPP and that it was Logan's birthday. We headed over to PPP and about 15 minutes later, that same nice lady from the bank came in and found me. I thought maybe I dropped something in line, and she was returning it. Nope. She brought Logan $5 for his birthday. How nice is that? You don't meet people like that very often, and I was so touched. Logan got everything he could have wanted. Video game system with awesome games, a TON of silly bands( apparently they are the new thing..everyone has them and he has been begging me for weeks) and money. The kids had a blast of course. You cant go wrong with Peter Piper. We went home for a few hours before we went to meet Mom and Dave for dinner and more cake! We went to Pei Wei's ( my favorite! Thank goodness Logan picked chinese for dinner!) and Logan got more birthday money. He has saved up $45 which is good for him, but bad for me. Logan has saving for a motor scooter forever, and Zach told him if he saved up half of the money we would pay the rest. Apparently we will be paying sooner than I thought. Anyway, besides the going to Walmart 3 different times it was a fabulous day. Thanks everyone for coming and making the day so special for Logan!

I am so proud of what an awesome little man Logan has become.

Jocy....

All 3 of my kids were binki babies. They used them until they were about 2 years old. It is always hard to take them away, but once they were gone...they were gone. Jocy has been another story altogether. She was a thumb sucker when she was born, which I was totally against. I bought every kind of binki the stores had, trying to break her from the thumb sucking. I finally found an ugly looking butterfly binki that she would actually take. when she was about 18 months, we noticed that the binki was messing up her teeth. When she would bite down, only her molars would touch, and there was a big gap between her top and bottom teeth. The dentist said it was caused by the binki, so away it went at 18 months instead of 2 years. Apparently, she still wants to have a binki.......I caught her hiding in the corner behind the tree...with a binki in her mouth.

She realized she was caught...but is playing the "I'm Cute" card.

I took the binki away...

She was mad at me...

So, why do I still have binkis around my house for her to find and cry about? who knows!
