Catching Up! First up: Finn's 7th Birthday.

Finn & his Star Wars cake.

Whew. I have been a bad blogger lately. I typically enjoy it, but haven't felt like blogging lately. I figured, why force it? It's not something I HAVE to do. I definitely like the idea that it's a diary of sorts...especially like that my kids may have something to look back at. Instant memories (even when you don't remember!!). ; )

Finn turned seven years old on September 25th (yes, two months ago!!). He's Mr. Social Butterfly, and wanted to invite all his buddies to his party. We invited about 14 six-seven year old boys to our house, for a traditional birthday party with games, snacks and cake. Dennis thought I was crazy. I knew that's what Finn wanted - nothing fancy, no going to lazer tag or jumpy houses, or pizza...he just wanted a regular 'ol party. About 12 friends/cousins came to the party.

We had a pinata and played a version of musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey, and telephone.

The boys were great (crazy, but great!!) and had such a fun time. Happy birthday, baby. I can't believe my littlest boy is seven. It's wonderful - because I love the little person he's become, but it makes me sad - because I miss the little boy he was. It really does get better every day, though!! Love you, Finn.
