Brendan, who has perfect attendance at CCD and goes to Mass every week, informed me last week he wasn’t going to go because, “It isn’t any of the priests concern what I do with my business.” I explained that the priest was acting as God to which he matter of factly responded, “But he isn’t. When I do something wrong, I talk to God when I say my prayers at night and God always forgives. So why do I need to tell a priest?”
Aidan is 10. Â Wow! Where did the time go? Â A whole decade!
The night before Aidan’s birthday we taped streamers across the doorway with the door closed and filled the space with balloons. Â When Aidan woke up and opened the door all the balloons poured out. Â He thought it was pretty funny. Â I also made a big 10 with pictures of his previous nine birthdays. Â Crazy to see how much he changed year to year.
Aidan’s choice of fun was for us to go to Sky Zone. So much jumping! Then Bren went off to voice lessons and Chris and I got to go to lunch with the birthday boy. (and then I dropped my phone, smashed the screen and needed to go buy a new iPhone. Ug)
We had our family party that night and Aidan was excited to receive Legos and other fun things. The next weekend was his friends party. Aidan’s friends party was held at Boston Bowl. We drove over with three of his friends. Â All Minecraft talk. Â All the time. Â OMG.
The party was a fun time, I just can’t believe he is 10. Â Time is certainly flying!
It’s our annual tradition- me and Bren at Disney on Ice. Â This year it was Frozen!! Shirley and Livi came too and we had a fun time. Â I’m not sure why people come without children, especially on Valentine’s Day, but we had fun!
