Last week was “Career Day” at Gardner’s school. This meant that on Friday, Gardner needed to go to school dressed up as what he wanted to be when he grew up. I knew about this on Monday, so we had all week to get his costume together. Simple enough right?… Sure!… If you remember that it’s Career Day on Friday, but if you completely forget about the teacher’s note as soon as you read it until Friday morning when Gardner says he needs to dress up as a recycling man… then not so much.
Our family birthday shtick
There are a lot of us that celebrate birthdays each year where I live. In addition to me, my husband, and our four kids, my husband’s parents live next to us, and his brother lives behind us. Then there’s our two friends who live with us and their two kids (part-time). Needless to say, there are A LOT of birthdays.
