Cricket pie

There are some things I just don’t have the heart to correct when my kids say them. When we celebrate my MIL’s birthday each year, we have grasshopper pie for dessert. (Growing up, there were numerous March birthdays in her family, so they got caked-out by the middle of the month, which is when her birthday is.) Shecklet #4 calls is “cricket pie,” which I think is really cute – even at 8 years old.

Shecklet #2 turns 12 πŸŽ‚

Happy birthday to our witty, fun-loving, and big-hearted Shecklet #2! He’d rather be heading back to school today, but we will make the most out of this time of social isolation by celebrating at home throughout the day – including his dinner choice of spaghetti and pie for dessert. πŸ₯³

Celebrating 11 with friends πŸ₯³πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‰

Shecklet #2 is turning 11 tomorrow and he asked to have a friend birthday party this year. He did all of the planning – video games and nerf battles, complete with brackets and a trophy.

We ordered pizza, had pie and ice cream and just let the boys hang out and be boys.

Oh and Jake ordered 1000 darts in an effort to make sure they didn’t run out of ammo 🀣
