Happy birthday, Bobo! For his birthday, he wanted to go bowling with his friends from "mini-bro night". (Nut Brown goes to "bro night" on Fridays, and one of the younger brothers from the bro night bros asked for a "mini-bro night", and the name stuck.) So off to the lanes we went! Bobo was kind enough to invite his little sister too, and she was thrilled to be included. I tried to turn The Pan into a party bus, but the balloons all popped. Fail. But Bobo was amused by it.
After bowling, we returned to our house and had lasagna for dinner.
Followed by "cake". Bobo has a recipe for chocolate peanut butter bars that he loves to make, and he asked for a double decker version. Mr. Brown got inventive and made it work. They were delicious. I think Bobo's favorite part was that he got to eat the rest of it basically all by himself for the entire next week.
Bobo took his birthday money and bought himself a wireless mouse. He'd been planning on it for awhile. He was so disappointed that his aunt's card this year didn't say, "You Guac!" like it had for the past two years. (Rose Pink found him another one on Amazon and gave it to him.) He put the Minecraft stuffy on his bed straightaway and sleeps with it.
On the day of his actual birthday, he asked if he could have his best friend over to play computer games. We agreed, suspending the normal video game rules for a birthday. When we pulled in after picking up his friend Aaron (and his little brother Elijah), I heard Bobo instructing them that they had to play 30 minutes of board games first. 💓 Be still, my heart: I was so glad that he had decided on his own to put a limitation on the video games.
