June 15

Today we had pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles for breakfast, with chocolate milk. The waitress gave us all huge chocolate chip cookies too, to take home for later.

We played mini-golf. We had Happy Meals for lunch, followed by Hershey Special Dark nuggets.

When we got home, we put together a Snap Circuits remote controlled rover and ran it up and down the street. We hung a tire swing and took turns whipping through the backyard and giggling. We picked out paint for a model rocket and sprayed it navy blue on the back deck, and then we had pizza for dinner.

After that, we went out for ice cream and sat on a park bench getting sticky and sweet. Tomorrow, we' ll have the cookies from the restaurant, drive the rover some more, and finish the rocket.

Today, my sweet boy turned seven.

Happy birthday, to the love of my life. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
