Happy Birthday to Me

It's Sunday night.  It was a pretty quiet weekend but I'm still ready for bed.  Last Saturday, my birthday, I got up early and drove our old tv to an electronic recycling event.  It had been sitting in the garage for a long time taking up a lot of room.  

I picked up some croissants and Starbucks for Ariel and Fionna.  

They got up early to make themselves beautiful.  

Soccer time.

While Amy, Noah and I were at soccer.  Aden and Eli were bonding at home.  They played tennis and rode bikes.  

Great game boys!

We got back and Aden and Eli were playing on the swingset.  

VR time.

Then I went for a bike ride with Eli.  

I let him lead the way.  

He got so good so fast!

It was birthday dinner time.  We took the older kids and Bev to the Capital Grill. 

They sprinkled our table with fun stuff.  

Dinner was fabulous.  

We then stopped by to see Honey.  

Cousin cuddles.  

It was a nice, relaxing birthday.

 

Video Game Night

Last Thursday, Eli did a little VR before school.  

Eli finally figured out his bike the night before!  He got on and rode around before school.  

He wanted to ride to school but we just walked.  

Went back to the pool for a little bit after work.  It was hot out!

Amy and Eli doing homework.  

Ariel went bike riding with Eli.  He was going everywhere!

That night, I went to a synagogue function at a video game arcade.  

It was a really fun place.  A nice mix of old and new games.  

Stranger Things Pinball!

I had fun trying the different games.  

Last Friday, Eli rode around before school.  He's obsessed!  

Amy went for a walk with friends.  

The sky was intense.  

Amy and I went with Ariel's friend's parents to dinner.  It was fun to get to know them.  Have a great weekend!

 

Sad Dumplings

Last Wednesday, it was warm!  Amy hosted mah jong.  

After working out, I sat by the pool a little.  

Eli was close to riding his bike last Fall but then had to give up when it got cold.  He was determined to get it going.  

Noah had soccer.

It was nice and warm.

A Ferrari suv at soccer!

I tried a cooking experiment.  Sometimes they work, sometimes not so much.  I tried to make chicken dumplings.  It was a mess but I think it tasted ok.  But I was the only one.  

That night, Ariel went to a high school lacrosse game.  She and her friends got to go out on the field with the high school girls. 

Eli and Noah played with Vicky.
