Happy Birthday, Benjamin!

Today was Benjamin's 7th birthday! We just celebrated as a family but he didn't mind. :) Who could when there was plenty of chocolate cake & ice cream to eat? (Patricia enjoyed baking with me. I enjoyed it too!) Oh, and then there were the gifts of Junior Scrabble from my parents and water guns from siblings. (Eric and I's gifts have not arrived yet- they come Friday.)

Daddy took everyone outside to play war with their guns. (Elizabeth splashed around in a bucket and carried a small hand gun before coming in to "help" me with dinner.) They ALL had a blast and came in soaking wet. Lord willing, Daddy is going to take the children to a castle water park tomorrow. Not having a job has it bonuses. (Mama is staying home. Ah, to put my feet up & sit for a bit.)





Happy Birthday, Benjamin! We give God thanks for you!

Happy Birthday Benjamin! : )

Both the water park and the staying at home and putting your feet up and enjoying some silence both sound like a lot of fun! Hope you all enjoy.
