ALEX IS 10 YEARS OLD TODAY! AND the Last Day Before School Starts

I can't believe he's 10! WOW! I've been a mom for 10 years! At the same time there's the thought that, gee... I can't remember what my life was like before I was a mom!

It's also the last day before school starts... Tomorrow we'll have to get up and go and be ready when the bus comes. I'm also going to go exercise for the first time since last MAY!! So... I know tomorrow night the kids should go to sleep well from their first day of school, and I'll crash from my first workout in 3 months... :)

Today we've got some friends kids over for the day while their mom packs and gets ready for them to move. Luckily it's a local move, so we don't have to say goodbye to them like we did our other friends earlier this summer.

Tonight for dinner we are having this: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_tm/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9997_38641,00.html

It's a mac and cheese hotdog casserole and icecream "baseballs". I had the tv on one day, watching the show while I was making dinner, and Alex came in and watched it. He asked if we could have it for his birthday dinner, so that's what we'll have. I think I might make some rolls to go with it since Alex LOVES homemade rolls and we might have some baked beans to go with it too since he loves baked beans.

Then we'll have cake and presents with the family tonight. On saturday we're taking him and 4 friends to go and see the new starwars movie for his birthday party.
