McCade's 11th Birthday

Today is St. Patrick's Day!

But that is not what this post is about.

As I said before, I am a bit behind. So, here is all about McCade's Birthday.

Mac's birthday fell on a Sunday this year; Sunday is a busy day around here. Church takes several hours and sometimes there are other things. (This year we were participating in an Eagle Scout Court of Honor.)

So, we spread the Birthday Festivities over several days.

On Saturday we took McCade out to eat at his Favorite Restaurant; Chuck-a-Rama. Yep. An all-you-can-eat-buffet. I guess there is more than one reason he thinks Las Vegas is the best city in the world! Dallin did the best job at eating our money's worth. I think he ate for several people. It was nice not to have anyone complain about the menu! Everyone could get basically anything they thought they wanted!

Sunday I made sure he had his favorite food for dinner. Well, some form of it at least! His FAVORITE thing is Pizza. I made homemade Pizza Pockets; that way everyone gets whatever they want! Hhhhmmmmmm. . . I see a theme. . .

McCade asked for a Peanut butter - Chocolate cake. So that is what he got; *sigh* gotta love the double digit candles!

He wanted to light his own candles; heck, we let him. He is a Boyscout! I figured as long as there wasn't any lighter-fluid around he would be fine.

We must need to work on his wind-power. It took two tries to get the two candles out. HAHA!

Shane always takes it upon himself to buy the 11th birthday presents for the boys. Well, to be more accurate he took care of Dallin's and now he has taken care of McCade's. Shane picked up the traditional present on Monday. McCade almost waited patiently.

But was sufficiently excited when he saw his present to make his Dad's day!

For the record; McCade got an unacceptable grade last quarter in Math. Part of the punishment for less-than-his-best performance was that he lost all access to video games. He's hoping that this weekend he has earned them back.

I did take him shopping for some new church shoes and some new clothes a week later. He has become very concerned about how he leaves the house recently. I am hoping that continues!

Happy Birthday Mac!
