It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
So, my godson's 7th birthday party was last night (just a few hours ago, actually). It was awesome to see all of our hard work pay off. The theme was Pokemon, and there were games, prizes, a clown, a pinata... it was great! The kids had an awesome time and everything went super smooth. One of his friends even said it was the best birthday party he'd ever been to. Haha. Also ot a lot of compliments on the games and the decorations that my aunt did; so gratifying to hear. I can't believe my fave little guy is 7 already. Cue the tears! He's growing up so fast. He loved the gift my family and I had gotten him (a large Bowser plush doll), he couldn't put it down after he opened it. Do I know how to pick 'em or what. Lol. Had a great week prior as well. There was just a lot of assigned reading for classes, but nothing's perfect. ;)
