Week 7-Will's Birthday!

Will's birthday was definitely the highlight of week 7!  It was so fun to have something different to look forward to! He had a few friends stop by to wish him a happy birthday and each time we heard the doorbell ring or saw someone pull up, it was so exciting! And the girls helped me plan to have the police department and fire truck drive by with their lights on, which is something they now do around here for birthdays:).  It was a super fun day, and topped off with a treasure hunt at Maureen and Bill's! 

Another fun part of having his birthday during the week was that I was more relaxed about their schoolwork.  For example,we got to Friday and I realized that Kate hadn't completed any of her Bingo boards, which are optional but I usually make them do them.  It was kind of freeing to let up on everything for the week! 

They always choose their menu for the day; he chose eggs and a cinnamon roll from Bamford Bakery for breakfast, french toast for lunch, and Dominos for dinner. 

We had a fun morning opening presents! 

I don't know what Leo did, but everyone was dying laughing! Lots of excitement opening Grandma's gifts:). 

New shirt and lollypops for everyone from Grandma. . .

My friend Mindy and her kids and Will's friends Matthew, Brady and Nolan, Max, and Jack stopped by to wish him a happy birthday! 

Matthew's card was awesome!

Maureen and Kelly made a really fun treasure hunt for the kids, and they found Will's gifts at the end of it!

Other activities during the week. . . .

We got free sand and made a sand pit, which provided a lot of entertainment for the kids!

Annie and Leo running around in the yard.  I feel grateful that we have been stuck at our house at such a beautiful time of the year!

The girls switched their rooms around. . .

Kate got a bag of all her school supplies from her school, and set up an area to do her work.  If only this would have lasted longer than 10 minutes the whole week:).
