Weekend Wrap Up

I can't believe the weekend is over and we are now in the second week of November! This week is going to fly by with so much on the calendar! 

Friday, Mitchell had a birthday get together with a couple of friends. Since he had the BIG Halloween party he chose to just do a low key celebration with four friends. His birthday is actually Saturday but we usually have the family over on the actual day. The boys were here for 5 hours and kept themselves entertained playing indoor and outdoor games and YES you guessed it...flipping water bottles, which, if you don't have boys, is the latest cool fun game! Don't ask me why but they really get into it and have so much fun trying to get the bottles to land upright. Its fine if its for a party, but this goes on all waking hours at our house! Is this just an East Coast thing or is it everywhere? 

Saturday, Mitchell turned 13! Don't even get me started on all the emotions I have about it! This kid is our baby of 6 kids. He has grown so fast that no matter how hard I try to hold on to time it still flies by! He is turning into a young man now with his voice getting deeper and growing like a weed! Our family celebrated his birthday Saturday evening with all his favorites. We had crab soup, scalloped potatoes, and a special salad that he loves! We opened presents, played family games and sang Happy Birthday!

Sunday morning Mitchell had a soccer game about an hour away. About half way through the game he got stomped on the hand by a kid with cleats and it got super swollen immediately.  So after several hours we decided to  go to urgent care to make sure there were no breaks which to our and the doctors surprise there was not! Sunday was spent watching football and relaxing. Mitch stayed inside and played his new FIFA 17 game he got for his birthday.

Another year older for our boy! I hope this year goes much slower than last. We will try to appreciate these teenage years as much as possible because as we know, these years fly by!!!
