Ahhhh,
The sleepover for Aaron’s birthday party was last night. We had sooo much fun. They played in the water sprinkler, ate hotdogs, ate cupcakes, them we did a bead craft where we made sports necklaces and anklets and bracelets. Let’s pause here for a minute because believe it or not the boys were more interested in doing this craft than the girls were. The boys were engaged for a full 60 minutes while 30 minutes in the girls were done and off to find something more interesting to do. Next, we are outside playing flashlight tag and roasting marshmallows. we took a neighborhood walk where camp counselor Zakiyah proceeded to get us lost at 11:30p but we eventually found our way back home. Everyone of the children were excited at the opportunity to lay in their sleeping bag and of course we had popcorn and watched a movie. This morning we ate breakfast ( french toast and bacon), decorated visors and each guest was sent home with a sizeable bag of Monkey Munch ( I will post this recipe later).
We had alot of fun and glad that we were able to offer this opportunity this year verses just talking Aaron to his favorite place to eat On his birthday ( which I am still going to do)
I find myself learning new ways to be the mother that he needs not the mother that I had. It’s exciting and I am looking forward to more exciting things to come.
