Gametes In Love

First time at Dickens Fair with the kids.

Storm’s birthday party this year was at Sports House… celebrated with GaGa Ball, soccer, pizza and donuts.

I legit wish I could explain GaGa ball. It’s like dodge-ball, in an enclosed arena, where you’re trying to be the last man standing, but can’t hit others directly. Storm requested it. Apparently Sports House introduced it over summer camps, but it’s not one of their standard activities. They used his party as a try to see if they can make it work as part of regular party bookings. Not sure what ultimately SH will decide there, but Storm’s guests seemed to enjoy it.

We have surpassed the age of 7 today, and the youngest human in our brood wakes up as an 8-yr old today. This kid has been calling out that he couldn’t wait ’till Thursday every day this week. For real — he didn’t even blink twice for Candy Debauchery Day (aka Halloween).

Storm,

Today you wake up 48″ tall and 50.7lb (though that’s with street-clothes on, so let’s take a pound off!). You continue to be a creative thinker and a happy soul. Please, don’t lose that. I love that I can find you singing to yourself while you are playing, or that you break out in a dance while randomly waiting in line at the store. PS — you’re a pretty good dancer! You’ve got a little mischief in ya’, but it’s (usually) in good nature, paired with good humor.
