A Teenager In The House

I once heard that if your kids aren't causing you real grief in your home, it's only because they aren't old enough. Each year we knock on wood that our kids are still young enough to skip over the fore warned grief. And each year we wonder if this will be "the one". :)

Brandon turns 13!

The kids have all read the Percy Jackson "Lightning Thief" series. Brandon was so excited when he heard it was opening on his b-day weekend. All the boys had a great time (although the overall feeling was that the book was better).

Brandon has really good friends, but like all kids this age ... they are all CRAZY. This poster seemed to fit them. It's a movie called the "Crazies". Ok, the movie is actually scary, but the title is funny.

After the movie and pizza, the boys came home for cake and ice cream. It was a little cold for a swim party, but these boys REALLY wanted to play in the water. I am very impressed that none of the boys ended up in the pool anyway. Great restraint, right?!

Happy Birthday Brandon!
I love Percy Jackson, too. The movie was really good, but the book is definitely better!

I'm convinced that a rare few of us can avoid the teenage grief entirely - gotta have a dream, right? Happy Birthday to Brandon!
