Birthday Fun

 Wednesday C turned 9! 

He unfortunately had to stay home from school because he was sick. Masks became optional and woosh a cold and stomach flu swept through the school like wildfire. Alas. 

His big present from us was a fish tank and a betta. We are not pet people. Well... we are not dog people. I like dogs, I just don't want a dog. Does that make sense? I would have a cat because they aren't as needy but Husband and C are allergic. But C has been longing for a pet for ages. So on Sunday we told him that for his birthday he was going to get a fish! Then we took him to the store to get the tank so we could have it all set up. 

Here it is all set up on Sunday, cycling and filtering and getting ready for a fish! He picked all the things and was very proud of his tank. 

Fast forward to Wednesday when we took him to get the fish. 

Meet Waldo. Two days in and he already looks WAY healthier. 5 gallons to swim in vs. a little cup will do that. 

My guy wanted a Nothing Bundt Cake with a Pinata on it. So... we got one. 

He had a very nice birthday! He was well loved. He got so many texts from school mates (via their parents) and his class sent a video to him. They also sent home a big card. And they even held off on saying his name on the announcements until he went back to school yesterday. 

This was him finding out the other present from Mom and Dad was that our family is going to see For King and Country. 

Now we are heading into the weekend and I am looking forward to it!! We have only 5 more days of school which is great too. 

Have a nice Memorial Day!
