Happy birthday to our little sweet guy!! Look who was all smiles when he woke up, thrilled to be seven!! Finally!! I made my killer birthday cake pancakes that he's been asking for, but I only make them on actual birthdays (gotta keep 'em special!).
Then we had a nice early 9 am soccer game. Jason's team is pretty good this year, they were 3 and 1 before today and this one ended up tied. As a goalie, Jase made three awesome saves but did allow one to go in. Oh well, he is definitely getting better compared to last year.
After the game I took Murphy for a walk while the boys rode their bikes. Fall has definitely arrived; the trees seemed to turn over night. I thought Jason looked especially cute here.
Oh, yeah, the good stuff! Jason picked out a Hot Wheels marble cake (what a surprise! not!!) with orange and purple accent frosting. Yum.
I don't know where he got the idea, but Jason asked for a karate party. I found a place that does kids' parties and we had the most awesome instructor! He showed the kids a bunch of moves -- breathing, kicking, punching, yelling, etc. -- he talked about what to do if you get bullied or if someone tries to steal you -- for an hour and a half the kids learned good, practical stuff mixed in with a lot of fun and joking around. The adults were cracking up, this guy was really great. Besides our two boys, there were six kids from Jason's first grade class and everyone had a terrific time. Plus, I'm pretty sure they got totally worn out...it's only a bit after 9 pm and Jack told me he's going to bed; I went to check on him a few minutes later and he was O-U-T. Jason, naturally, still has plenty of energy and is playing with a new toy but he will pass out as soon as he lies down.
