Ryker’s Spongy Birthday

March 30, 2007

We wrapped up Spring Break with Ryker’s birthday last weekend, hard to believe he’s 11 already. I told him last year he was to have no more birthdays and was to stay 10 until further notice. But as kids tend to do, he ignored me completely. Grandma and Grandpa were here for dinner as well as our friends from Seattle, and we had a great time. The theme was SpongeBob SquarePants, and Brenda outdid herself with this cool Spongebob cake.

The kids stayed up late playing the Nintendo Wii for hours. You have got to love a video game that makes you sweat! For those of you not familiar with the Wii, it’s a new video game console that uses controllers called “Wiimotes” and are motion-sensitive. So when you play a tennis game, you swing it like you would a tennis racket. It’s a blast and can be a real workout. The kids played a bunch of doubles tennis as well as many other games.

It was a great ending to a great week off. Unfortunately we all had to go back to the school/work grind. I really need to start buying some lottery tickets so I can retire and spend my time doing fun stuff all day.
