How Zach Spent his Birthday





Our weeknights are pretty much crazy. Our nights are filled with football, soccer, gymnastics, scouts, activity days, young mens and that's just the kids schedules! Well, yesterday was Zach's 14th birthday, and it was spent doing the same crazy schedule. I did my best to try to embarass him yesterday by going to his school while he was in class and putting a goody bag in his locker. Kris told me no balloons, so I kept it simple. I think I would have to try pretty hard to embarass Zach. He still thinks his parents are cool, I think! Anyways, he came home and got to open one present with just me present, then we had a quick dinner and carted him off to his football scrimmage, then I took Hayley up to gymnastics to drop her off, then back down to Zach's scrimmage game. Kris left the scrimmage a little early to go pick up Hayley, and then we all ended up meeting at home around 8 pm for the rest of his presents and cake and ice cream, all while trying to get homework packets done. Don't even ask about baths for the younger kids, we are lucky to squeeze 2 to 3 baths a week in! I think in a couple of weeks our weeknights will be less chaotic once football and soccer are done. As for his birthday, I think he had a great one, and he got what he asked for, no surprises! Happy Birthday Zach!

Happy birthday Zach!!! Did he give you his locker combo? That's a really good idea. Now I'm panicking over the thought of my kiddies having lockers. Life is busy when your kids are superstars!

Yes, I was a sneaky mom and asked him about a month ago to give me his locker # just in case he forgot it. Next time I will remember to write my kids locker #'s down the day they get it at registration.
