We have had a great time celebrating our big 8 year old this week! Case and his classmates were treated with Gibson's Donuts at lunch on Thursday. I promise donuts are a bigger hit than cupcakes and much cheaper and easier for this non-baking momma!
Then the kids and I hit the pool after school and nearly had the place to ourselves. We hope to squeeze in a few more after-school pool days before it closes at the end of the month!
It was Case's choice for dinner and he chose Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken. What can I say...that kid has good taste in food! CJ joined us which was the icing on the (birthday) cake for the birthday boy.
And then with the start of school so early this year, I just didn't get around to planning a "party" but we did invite a couple families to join us at the pool Saturday to help us celebrate. It was a great low-key afternoon of pretending that summer isn't over. Super thankful for these people!

Case, Happy Birthday, buddy! You are such a great kid. You are considerate of others, quick to give out hugs to everyone you know and sometimes you speak more like a (thirty) eight year old. You love to sing in a super high pitched voice (especially in the car), rarely interpreting the lyrics correctly. So funny! Your soccer coach calls you "Mr. Literal," you hate being late and you are excited to go to school every single day. These are just a few of the things we love and never want to forget about your eight-year-old self. We are grateful you are ours!
