Andy turned 11 today. He started his day with birthday breakfast with dad. Glad he asked me where we were going because I had honestly forgotten about taking him. We tried to go to Morin’s but they were closed and then I thought we could go to J.D.’s but they were closed so we had to go to Mackie’s. It is not my favorite but Andy likes it. He had a bacon and cheese omelet an really enjoyed it. I dropped him off at school and then went to my Krav class for Stripe Test.
My stripe test was challenging but good. I got another stripe. I’m going to have to tie my belt lopsided from now on so that there is room to put additional stripes. At least until I can earn my black belt.
Andy was very generous at school today. Because it was his birthday he asked if he could use his own money to buy his classmates drinks at lunch. He got everyone a lemonade. The kid has a big heart.
I picked up Eva from school and then we met Andy and Allison at the karate dojo where the kids had their stripe tests. They both earned their stripes. Andy was excited that this was his last Kempo class before he switches to Krav.
We came home and had dinner and after dinner we finished Andy’s birthday cake.
A very tasty treat. Before the cake Andy got calls form his grandparents and Auntie Tara and Uncle Erik. He got to thank everyone for his gifts. Then we had the cake and it was time to get some sleep because we head to the Cape tomorrow for Thanksgiving.
