Today is a special day, as Nolan is now NINE YEARS OLD!! It's incredible how fast the boys are growing up.
To recap today, both of the boys stayed home from day camp while Elizabeth worked from home. They had lots of time to relax and play. After I got home from work, Nolan was able to open a few presents. The main present that he got was a rock tumbler, to help polish rocks that he collects. He also received a Minecraft-themed Uno card game, which we played with him tonight (Nolan won by the way).
Then we took the boys over to Edwards, where a Kona Ice truck was there serving shaved ice. After Nolan and Maxwell finished those treats, we all went out to Hickory Park to celebrate. Nolan actually ordered off of the adult menu instead of the kids menu... which I believe is a first time ever. I guess that is just another sign that he is getting big! Anyways, he ordered a pork steak (basically two 4-oz smoked pork chops) dinner with a side of fries and a side of cottage cheese. Maxwell had a hot dog kid's meal with mac & cheese, Elizabeth had a side of fries, and I had a pork tenderloin sandwich. Of course, they came and sang happy birthday to Nolan, and the kids got ice cream for dessert.
When we got home from supper, the boys got to stay up later than usual to have videos in bed. I'd say they had a pretty good day today!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOLAN!!
