CLAYTONS BAKUGAN BIRTHDAY PARTY

BAKUGAN BRAWLERS BIRTHDAY

Clayton turned 7 a couple of weeks ago and he had a Bakugan party. For those who don't know what Bakugans are (you probably don't have boys) they are these round balls that you roll over a magnetic card and they open up to look like different creatures. There is an actual game but I'm not convinced he really knows how to play.

Clayton got to have a few friends and family over for his Bakugan party. We started off with pizza, chips and juice. After we ate we had bakugan competitions.
The first game the boys had to guess how many Bakugans were in the jar. Easy but they had fun!!! The second game the boys had to get the bakugan ball into numbered buckets and the person who got the highest amount of points won a prize. The next game was stick the Bakugan ball onto the Bakugan card, the one closest to the middle got a prize. The prizes were actual Bakugans. (there was enough for everyone, don't worry I was fare)


Then the boys had a blank circle out of poster board and they had to create their own Bakugans. They were all very creative and had a lot of fun with it. Then we had cake and ice cream and opened presents. Clayton had a lot of fun and is already planning his next birthday!!!

STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Clayton received student of the month for December. We are so proud of him. He got to go up in front of all 1st and 2nd graders and get an award. He got a free kids meal to Mimi's Cafe.

This is where my happiness ends. I have been able to see many minivans in my lifetime and now those big SUVs that all get to parade obnoxiously that there kid is student of the month. Now that I have a child in school don't I get to be obnoxious don't I get to paint my bumper in stickers.

I thought one day i will get my chance I want to be the obnoxious parent. Did Clayton get a bumper sticker NO!!! No sticker for my car, tear tear!!! I guess I will just have to take one from the minivan in the Target parking lot that has 10 bumper stickers on it and put it on my car.... They won't even notice it is missing.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST WRESTLE HIM???

My little and feisty Ella has always made me laugh. She can be so stubborn then turn around and be so sweet and witty. This morning as 3 of our 4 children had managed to get into bed with us, Ella asked,

"Why do you sleep on this side? You used to sleep on the other side?"

(side note, when ryder was born Robert and I switched sides because his side had more room so i could put the pack n play near me.)

I told Ella in a joking manner, "Because daddy won't give it back."

She got that serious look on her face and said, "Why don't you just wrestle him?"

I love how she thinks if you want somthing you get it by wrestleing. You just take it back!! She then pounced on Robert trying to defend my side and get it back for me.
