birthdays...

Ethan turned 4 on September 28 and I turned 35 this past Friday. A lot happened in the week and a half between the birthdays and I will explain that in my next post. Just like any other child, Ethan is excited to be getting older, but me...not so much! There are things that happen after age 35 that I am not looking forward to. I still see myself as a 25 year old...when does how I see myself catch up to how old I really am?

Ethan had a batman party and in his words, it was "awesome." I really don't know why he wanted a batman party. We have absolutely nothing batman in our home, but that is what he wanted.

Much to Ethan's delight, Brice made a special appearance as "batman", but I won't post any of those pictures! I thought he might post some on his blog, but he hasn't yet.

I had a great birthday. We went to our favorite pizza restaurant for dinner and then to a highschool football game. We had to pull out the layers, hats and gloves...perfect football weather.

Other than the fact that Ethan (he refused to smile) complained the whole time about being thirsty and hungry, we had a great time! Brice and I had a glimpse of our future while we were at the game and it was frightening. Just picture a bunch of middle school boys yelling, running up and down the bleachers, hitting each other, stuffing nachos into their mouths, spilling hot chocolate, bumping into annoyed adults, oblivious to everything around them, except their other crazy friends. Yikes!
