Wildcat's Birthday!

Wildcat had a busy birthday weekend. He started by placing fourth in the area spelling bee. That was his goal, and we are really proud of him! Sunday was his birthday, and he got to have cake at home. He decided that he would like to skip a meal out, but go out for just cheesecake on a different day.

Tuesday, he found at that he gets to represent our school at the area speech meet. That night we had a light supper and headed to the Cheesecake Factory. We each got our own piece of cheesecake (a big splurge!). Wildcat was really happy that they put a candle in his.

Today, he woke up running a fever, so he got to come with Kapooka and I down to visit his grandparents. Kapooka got her haircut. The sides are FINALLY even with the back. She has been talking about cut and car for two days. She gets to sit in a pink car to get her hair cut (Grandpa and Grandma treat her to a Cookie Cutters haircut and then french fries after). Grandpa entertained Bethany and bought her a fake tomato for her play food while I bought new silk flowers for church. Grandma made yummy potato soup for lunch. Wildcat got to watch a movie and play lots of games with his grandparents. Grandpa took him to Halfprice Books to spend some birthday money. Wildcat read a lot the rest of the day.

Tomorrow is Kapooka's birthday, so we will fill you in on all her presents in her post. She has been practicing at blowing out candles though!
