This week was Solomon's 10th birthday. We go ALL out for 10th birthday's so be prepared for a lot of pictures from this weekend. <3 


Day Thirty Six: 

Pretty sure this was a low day. I can't remember exactly but these are the only two pictures I got from the day, so i'm guessing that means I slept a lot of it.  I'm experiencing some health issues right now and one of the realities of that is dealing with some fatigue. 




Day Thirty Seven: 

If Thursday was a low day then Friday more then made up for it. It was warm enough to spend some time outside riding bikes and just being together. Then once Dad got home from work we crowned Solomon the KING OF THE WEEKENED. This was so much fun. I love the expression on his face as he's being crowned. He got to choose everything we did this weekend. I love that we could completely trust him to choose because he is so kind and thoughtful. One of the quotes I never want to forget is Solomon saying, " Mom, I don't want my birthday to interrupt church at all." 

His first decree as king was getting pizza and watching a family show together in the living room.  



Day Thirty Eight: 

Solomon's second decree was going out for breakfast in pajamas. We drove through Taco bell for Solomon and then went to McDonalds for the play place and everyone else's breakfast. We never let the kids play the video games at play places because if we wanted them to stare at screens we could have stayed home, but Solomon was king, so they fully enjoyed the luxury of getting to play games this time. 

We still had basket ball games and cheer but then we went swimming and had a cousin sleep over complete with more video games. 


Day Thirty Nine: 

Completely wiped from staying up way too late, we still had to get up for church.  We hit Chuck E Cheese after church and topped the day off with Solomon looking at himself one more time as a 9 year old boy. We always look in the mirror before going to bed the day before birthday's. That way they can see how much older they look the next morning. 



Day Forty: 

Solomon's 10th birthday complete with birthday money, vintage arcade games, IHOP, Lego store, and a special date just with dad at the end. 

Favorite memory is bringing up a single candle to Solomon's bed, lighting it and singing him happy birthday, just the two of us.  Some of the most intimate moment's I am practicing being present and so no pictures are taken but I never want to forget. 



Day Forty One: 

Well timed sunshine and the last week of basketball practice. We made silly faces to pass the time. 



Day Forty Two: 

Rough day, thankful for friends who are willing to meet at McDonalds.
