Party Planning for the almost-8-year-old!

Leave a comment

We are planning a birthday party!  In just a few shorts days, my youngest will be 8!

After offering a few suggestions, he came up with an idea of his own.  He would like a Wii Bowling Party.  That I can do!

Of course, Pinterest has some wonderful suggestions for just such a party:

 

 

 

We will be keeping it small, but I see balloon streamers, red and white paper straws, and oreo bowling balls in my future!

And they’re off…

Back to School!

First Day of School

2nd grade and 5th grade!  Yikes!

I remember 5th grade so clearly.  Mr. Foster, Mrs. Gatti, and Mrs. Crocker.  It was the year I learned about cuss words and teachers that spit and band.  Ah…middle school.  🙂  So grateful that 5th grade is still elementary school here!

Here’s a little round-up of our back-to-school activities:

Back to School Checklist

Here’s what I know:

  • School starts in 4 days!
  • The 7-year-old thinks he knows it all.
  • The 7-year-old doesn’t know it all, but is excellent with a check-list.
  • The 10-year-old is too cool for check-lists.
  • Too bad for the 10-year-old.
  • I will be writing “Clean Teeth” in one of our blanks because if it isn’t on the list, the 7-year-old won’t do it!

If you need a copy of this “First Day of School Checklist”, you can find it here.  Use it, love it, share it, don’t sell it.  Thanks!

My baby boy is turning 7!

Seven!

He has all his favorites: Legos, nerf guns, Star Wars, football. It’s easy to hit the toy store and pick out something he’d love, but I’d like to find him something a little different, a little extra special. I’m thinking about some of these:
