Tuesday = Fourteen!

It is hard to believe that my baby is now 14!

For the first time in his life, I had to work on his birthday.  I felt guilty.  To make up for it, the Big Guy took the day off.  They loaded their road bikes into the car and headed for the Greenline.  All was going well until the Big Guy got a flat less than a mile in.  He did not bring any repair stuff as there used to be a bike shop where they planned to enter the trail.  Unfotunately, there is not a bike shop there anymore:-(  He sent the boys on their way by themselves.  They loved it.  Peanut moved up to the next bigger road bike that we have.  It was Pumpkin's original that's been in the attic for a few.  Again, hard to believe that my baby is getting so big!

Peanut opened his presents when I got home from work.  I think the smile captures it all.  He got Xbox, an IOU, and Reese's.  Gotta love it!

We searched high and low for a GPS watch that he wanted.  We ended up having to order one online and it did not get here until the day after his birthday.  He is thrilled with it.  He is registered to run the St. Jude half marathon in December.  I think the watch will get a workout.
Peanut had a 5v5 soccer game and then we all went out to dinner.

After dinner and a much needed shower, Peanut enjoyed his birthday dessert.  He requested a sugar cookie pizza topped with fruit.  This boy has my genes!  Pumpkin could not understand why you'd mess up a good thing by adding fruit on the top!
We continue the celebration tonight.  Peanut's invited some boys over to spend the night.  We are going to do the drive-in, MIB 3 followed by the Avengers.  Should be a fun one!
