Joey’s Got Big Plans Tomorrow…

for his tenth birthday.

Since we’re not having his official party until the end of the month (after spring break when all his friends will be home), I wasn’t planning on doing more than our usual cake with the neighbors, and mom and dad’s special dinner with just the birthday boy, but he’s go it all figured out.

Instead of a birthday dinner, he wants a birthday breakfast to the favored Golden Corral breakfast buffet. But he doesn’t want to go tomorrow because he wants breakfast in bed! So we’ll be going Tuesday for his birthday breakfast with mom and dad.

Cake with the neighbors has turned into a rollerskating/karaoke party in honor of the new Heely’s Timmy got yesterday with dad. But we need to go and find Chris a pair of Heely’s tomorrow because he doesn’t have any skates that fit and he was really the one who wanted Heely’s but they weren’t in his size.

Oh, and Joey, wants to decorate his own party. In his words, “What fun is it to walk downstairs to a decorated room when I’m a crafty guy!”

So he’s decorating the garage where he’s going to have the skate party. Finally getting into a festive mood, I broke out the creative cakes book and found a skate cake and then told Joey we can go to the store and get some balloons and more cake mix. He’s going to help make the cake.

He still wants pancakes and eggs in bed, but decided he’d sleep in! Thank goodness! And I thought the first day of spring break was going to be relaxing.

But after all, it’s his double-digit birthday. he goes from 9 to 10, and I remember as a kid what a big deal that was!
