8th birthday

The monkey turned 8 on Friday! Red letter day. We had a home-day but did hosted another homeschool family for lunch whom we've just begun to get to know who have three children - a 7-year old boy and two younger girls. In the evening we had burritos for dinner as a family by request from the birthday boy which HF brought home from a local Mexican joint… They sufficed, though we still miss CA greatly in this regard! The monkey was absolutely delighted by his various Ninjago presents he received from his parents and grandparents - and then spent at least 5 hours, between last night and this morning, building his new stuff. Then tonight, big news! First ever sleepover with his two friends, Seth and Bryce. It has gone very well though at this hour of 10:40, we are not quite sure that all three are yet asleep…! At least daylight savings will work for us in this regard, falling back an hour.
