Well it’s over. My baby is now 8 years old. Can you believe that? I truly cannot believe it. Just 8 short years ago, I held this little tiny baby boy in my arms. /sigh. How time flies.

Trenton’s birthday party was quite fun. He made out like a bandit as well. He got a lovely cake from DQ. The Strawberry Cheesequake Cake, and it was rather tasty. As for the present department, he did fairly well there too. He got for the Wii, WallE and Lego Indiana Jones. He got 3 games for the playstation. A skateboard, a flat ball, a lock for his bike (Nathan was adamant that he needed one), two Magic Treehouse books, a Dinosaur Encyclopedia book, a camera and a camera carrying case.

Friday night at the Riverhawks game was pretty cool as well. Trenton’s Coach took his team to the Riverhawks (our local ball team). When they got there, they were able to go on the field. They met the players, got autographs, and the cool part is they got to run out on the field with players as they were being announced. The boys got to hang around on the field until the National Anthem was sung, then they came in and watched (ha) the game. They also got to sing the 7th inning stretch. That was amusing. The lady with the microphone came over and the boys started singing (picture 10 7-8yr olds). As the song progressed, and the boys grew less timid, they got louder. And louder. By the end of the song, the lady had passed the microphone to one of the boys and covered her ears. All us parents were laughing our asses off though, it was awesome.

Sunday was school shopping day. We got all of Trenton’s school supplies, and then clothes for both Trenton and Nathan. The only thing we forgot was a backpack for Trenton. I, even as we speak, have all my stuff for school. Two damn classes and the tuition was $460 (not too bad) but it was the books, holy crap. Books were $200 and then the calculator was $125. I fell out of my chair. So now the countdown has begun. 13 days until I start school, 15 days until Trenton starts school, and 16 days until Nathan starts kindergarten. /cries
