double digits!

I know I have kind of taken a break for the past while, but instead of going back (which the thought of makes me not want to blog!) I am being early! As I write, Ryan and his friend are downstairs watching 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' in celebration of his turning 10 on Monday! I think boys come naturally with the desire to watch movies REALLY REALLY loud!!!! We started out the evening with some Guitar Hero, then moved into the Candy Game (Thanks Crofts for sharing your fun game!). Ryan opted for Ice Cream Sundae's instead of the traditional Cake. We made yummy HOT FUDGE! Of course there was Carmel and Fresh Strawberries, and it wouldn't be a Sundae without some Whipping cream, you know the spray variety!!! (I could eat a whole can by myself!!!) And a Cherry on top! We even put 10 candles on Ry's Ice Cream! I think they are having fun!!!

After the movie the boys had a silly string war in the front yard! What a FUN MESS!!! No one or thing went without a bit of silly string!
