Welcome to the Big 10!
Re'Sean turned 10 on Tuesday, January 22, which happens to be a school day. As we have done the previous year, we barged into his room at 6 a.m., the husband carrying a plateful of cupcakes with lighted candles on them. The poor kid was struggling to keep his eyes open as husband and I exercised our vocal chords singing "Happy Birthday." He had been asking for the video game "Bleach" (of which I am completely clueless) and so that's what he got that morning. He will have his official birthday party on Saturday, in a joint celebration with childhood friend DJ. Will be posting more pics soon!
All is fair in war
What happens when you put three kids, and a man, in one room? For more than two hours all four sat transfixed before the TV, lost in the sound of explosions and gunfire. (Re'Sean was allowed to invite friends over as a reward for good attitude. See January 19th post.) When all three kids teamed up against the husband, it was a massacre. Oh yeah, regardless of the opponents' age, the husband takes no prisoners.
And here is proof of why kids shouldn't be allowed to wear white, or at least until they know the difference between a dish rag and a t-shirt.
