5 days later . . .

Wednesday, Alex turned 11.

He looks older here, holding flarp.

 Alex requested Cheesecake for his birthday.

It was a very busy day. It was our last day of CBS for this school year, we had to do Language Arts and Math, Alex also wanted grilled burgers and tator tots for supper - the Daddy usually does the grilling but yesterday, in order to eat before church in the evening, it was all on the Mama. After church the big girls and I put labels on water bottles for our Pro-Life event Saturday. We didn't get to eat the cheesecake till about 9 pm. I'm still tired. Alex, however, was up early this morning putting together his new model car and NOT watching the little cousins that spent the night.
