Day 73: Birthday Boy!

Today the 7yo became the 8yo. We had a nice little low-key birthday celebration for him. We started with donuts for breakfast. We then all piled in the car to do a slow drive-by at his school for his end-of-year teacher/student parade in which the faculty and staff all lined up on the sidewalk and waved and cheered while the students slow-rolled by in their cars. It was nice, because I think it was the first time the whole family had been in the car together in months. We then ran some short errands (picking up last minute gifts at Target) which culminated in cake pops from Starbucks and Happy Meals for lunch. After a lazy afternoon the 8yo requested tacos for dinner. And then, of course, birthday cake!
