So I came downstairs and gave Owen a big birthday hug or four and we talked about his birthday and his sleepover that afternoon… I took a casual birthday picture.
I wore his baby face necklace and took a birthday picture with him.
I posted a happy birthday post on Facebook.
While he was at another birthday party, Tom and I gave some cuddles to Katie because we knew the rest of the day would be about Owen.
And it wasn’t until we were all eating dinner (with his friends!) that I realized it wasn’t his birthday. OMG, am I a bad mom or what?! I asked Owen why he hadn’t said anything and he just shrugged his shoulders and said it wasn’t a big deal.
That said, I knocked it out of of the park with his gift: 900 Pokémon cards. He couldn’t believe his eyes and was practically vibrating with excitement. 🙂
This is what it looks like to be the mom of a 10-year-old with two 10-year-old boys over for a sleepover. #thirdmargarita #soloud #thankheavensforbasements
I think we only had to go in about five times to tell them to quiet down, and they were out by 11:30.
