Both my husband and my oldest son have back to back birthdays....
That means my weekend was one big party.....
Zachary had his first sleepover party that he had planned for weeks and it was a huge success! Most of his friends came and his only disappointment was that his brothers did not make it. What a pleasure it was to allow him something ordinary like a slumber party.
Then Sunday night we had homemade chili and cornbread for Charley's big 35! bash, he feels like an old man. I told him I was glad I bought a puppy. LOL!
Last night was Zachary's family dinner, which he had requested lasagna, salad and homemade carrot cake. His bio dad, bio grandparents, new grandparents on Charley's side, Aunt Lolo and Uncle Harv, Cousin Jordan and the eight of us were here. (Are you keeping track of the size of my immediate family?) His brothers didn't make it again and he was pretty sad about that, hard to explain stuff like that to little people, who have lost so much already.
The next birthday is a ways off and may come AFTER another BIG PARTY I can not talk about yet. Don't fret, I will share the news when I can. I promise I will.
God bless.

ReplyDeleteSeems like forever since update... now I know why...
ReplyDeleteDominic's Birthday is next I can't beleive he is turning 12... Which also means I have not seen you in 12 years also. Last we were together I was barely pregnate. WOW does time fly...
Glad all is well... you sound really happy. I'm so happy for you
Christina - the reason "the brothers" did not come to Z's sleepover is because you didn't invite them! Yes, Zachary called, but YOU did not talk to ME or make arrangements with me. I do not let the boys spend the night with anyone unless I speak to the parents and confirm the arrangements. As you know, with Michael's birthday coming up, I called and spoke to Charley and we mailed an invitation to you. That's the way it is supposed to work.
ReplyDeleteThe reason we did not come to the birthday dinner was because Joe had an awful day at school and he was in bed at 7:00pm.
If you were upset about either of these events, you could have simply called me rather than writing a snotty comment in your blog.
hummmm....did not think it was snotty at all talking about my kid's disappointment and you were not the one who had to hold him on his birthday while he held a picture of his bio family sobbing because his brother's did not come after they said they would. And they will remain his brothers forever despite how YOU feel about ME, I was standing next to him when he invited his brothers and they told him they could come to the party.
ReplyDeleteIt is not like it was just anyone's party or anyone's house...it was the boy's bio brother. Completely different than a school friend.
We did not mail invites to anyone because Zach thought that was dumb.
He is ten.
His party, he wanted to invite them on the phone and or in person.
We thought he did just fine.
