The weekend before his birthday, I had a friend from Ga come for a visit. ATD really enjoys his one on on time with her, so he wanted to do his birthday cake while she was here...i really think he just wanted to open a few presents a week before his birthday
ATD loves to swim. We could spend hours at the pool and we are never there long enough. SO this year we planed a trip to Oceans of Fun in Kansas City. (It is a lot like White Water for the Atlanta folks..but not nearly as big). Tom took friday off and the park was pretty empty. A lot of the schools started back last week, so the "big" boys got to ride everything over and over with no lines. OTD and I hung out in baby land. He went down a few kiddy slides, got his face wet, and decided it was much more fun for toys to go down the slide. Over all it was a great day.
We had decided to spend the night in Kansas City and make a weekend out of his birthday. After finding a hotel we went to a resturant that a train brings your food to the table. The train goes around the ceiling and then lowers your food to the table. Both boys really enjoyed that.
The next day, we went to an awasome farmers market in Kansas City. We planeted beans this year, but we have eaten them as we get them. The goal was to grow enough to eat and freeze, but we didn't have that many. So we bought 4lbs of beans and were able to freeze 7 qts. We also got some peaches that made a very yummy pie.
The other plan for the weekend was to look at mini vans. Ater October, we would not have a car we could all ride in. So after the Farmers Market, off to the car dealerships we went. We were just planning on looking at vans this weekend to see what we liked. After looking at the calander, I noticed we only had one other weekend that i had off before the baby is due, so we needed to get busy decideing what we wanted. We made it to the 3rd car dealership before we bought something..so much for looking. We traded in the truck...Tom only shed a few tears ... and got a Honda Odyssey. So ATD ended up getting a car on his birthday. I told him not to expect that again. I am very excited about my van :)
To finish off the weekend, ATD wanted to go to the "resturant where they cook in front of you on the big grill" and he didn't mean Waffle House! So off to the Japanese resturant we went. He had fun watching them and OTD enjoyed it also.
Over all I think he had a great weekend.

Ahhhwww - sad I missed the peach pie! Cool about the new Honda - you'll love it for sure.
Sounds like b-day #7 treated the boy pretty well!
Hugs all around.
Welcome to minivan land!! Hope school gets easier- we had tears about homework and "cant I just be a girl scout and live in the woods and quit school" the first day. But it is getting a ittle better! How are you feeling??
