Happy 3rd Birthday, Thrill.

For William's birthday, we packed the car with little people and drove to Costco for hotdogs and churros... the kids were SO WELL BEHAVED. I had a wonderful time keeping everyone very organized and somewhat clean. Harper and ketchup are quite a pair... ;)



Following our escapade at Costco, we packed the car again and drove back home. The youngest of the five, Harper and Ben, settled down for naps and the older three had a quiet time in the playroom upstairs. It was wonderful for all involved...

Upon Harper waking up, William got to open his present that had arrived minutes earlier from Grandpa and Grandma Berges... they do a great job of getting the kids the things that they'll remember -- they may not be 'classics', if you will, but none the less, they are the things that are so AWESOME that you remember them well into your later years...

'Mom, do you remember when I got my first lightsaber?'

'Yes, William... it was like 30 years ago. I can't believe you still have it!'
