My baby turned 8

I have a really hard time with my kids birthdays. I don't like to see them getting older. How is it that the older they get the younger I feel? Almost like I am too young to have these kids. Who left me in charge of these people's lives? Clearly someone who smokes a lot of crack.

We pulled off a big coup for Youngest's birthday. We took both boys out of school (Daughter was unable to make it due to her ridiculously hard 8th grade schedule) and headed north to America's Biggest indoor water park.

We did a lot of this

And Husband and I drank a couple drinks. We had a really fantastic time and Youngest told us over and over how it was the best birthday ever. It was a good time for the boys to be brother's without Sister trying to be Mommy or taking off with Middle child. It was a lot of fun to see them act as 8 and 9 year old's.

I apologize to the teachers out there but I think taking the kids out of school when they weren't sick was the best thing ever. The kids will remember this for the rest of their lives.

Happy Birthday, Boo Boo.
