Countdown to...

Walking with Dinosaurs, Jackson's birthday party and Anthonys friend's slumber party.

We have so many activities planned this weekend. On Friday after the boy's karate pictures we are headed up to Phoenix to see the show Walking with Dinosaurs. OMG it's amazing, life size to scale robotic dinosaurs. Everyone is excited about it even Taylor! We saw the videos of it online last night and of course Tony and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get tickets. We will be sitting in row 5 of the US Airways Arena in Phoenix. It's going to be a late night but Tony and I think it's going to be well worth the money and trip. We showed the kids the You Tube video of it and they were so excited about it. Jackson kept yelling out the names of the dinosaurs. Hmmmm, our very own Paleontologist!

Saturday morning is soccer for Tony and Jackson and then Jackson's birthday party at Pump It Up! My little boy is turning 5 (officially on the 16th)! It was supposed to be Transformer themed but apparently Transformers are "out" and so there's very limited Transformer items. I can't even find a darned Transformer cake. So I had to go with the next best thing...a soccer cake! This will be the largest party any of the kids have had. Picture this...30 kids jumping and making noise for an hour and half, then stuffing themselves with chips, cake, ice cream, soda and candy. I call that fun! I don't have to setup or clean up! SOOOOO AWESOME!

Then we drop Anthony off at a friend's house for a slumber party. It'll be the first time Anthony has slept away from home w/o us and w/o being at a family member's house. Tomorrow we have to get him a sleeping bag. There will be swimming, pizza, cake, Star Wars movies, popcorn, soda. I'm going to get my kiddo back exhausted!!! Anthony was one of 4 boys invited to this party. I think that's so great. The friend whose having the party is really nice. His mom is a very nice lady. We've done lunch recess together.

Sunday I'm working BUT Tony may be going to the Cardinals v. Miami game. We'll see if Aunt TJ and Albert are going instead. Then we are back to the weekly grind.
