Daniel had his 8th birthday this week! It was so fun to celebrate such a fun kid! He was so cute because we were going to be camping on his birthday on Saturday, so we celebrated it on October 16th in the evening. He could hardly stand it all day - he was very diligent with his schoolwork, he played with his legos, he ran around the house in circles, literally!
The evening finally came - and he was able to opens his presents. This year - he got a lego set (which he loved and really wanted!) and we decided to get him an acquarium and some fish. So it's been fun the last few days setting up his acquarium.
We did not go camping afterall - so he got an early birthday! When I checked into the place were were thinking about going - it was all booked for the weekend! It was a gorgeous weekend here in Northwest Oklahoma - just beautiful! We have a campground in our subdivision/community - so I checked there and it was pretty full, too - and they were having some kind of big party there, so we decided to camp at home! We actually considered camping in our backyard...but Dad and the older kids really didn't want to...so we put up the little tent for the Daniel & Charis and they camped in the backyard. They actually made it the entire night out there - I was surprised! We had a fun evening, though, and had a fire and made Smores. It was a great family night.
On Saturday, we had a lovely day at home. It was so nice because my house was clean because we had cleaned it on Friday! So I had a relaxing day. We had the candidate for our youth pastor position at our church and his wife for lunch - it was a very nice time and we really liked them. Then we decided to take the family to see the Beverly Hills Chihauha movie to do something fun on Daniel's birthday - it was pretty cute! And then on the way home - we stopped and actually bought his fish! He had a good day.
Well - that is all for now - I have a daughter wanting to use my computer for some school this morning!!!
