friday: micah’s party. what he wanted to do for this big 10th birthday more than anything, was to have a sleepover party. and so we did. 14 boys in our house, 9 slept over. so much ice cream, so many video games, so many nerf darts EVERYWHERE, so much noise, so little sleep… but everyone had a blast, micah was thrilled, we survived, and we NEVER have to do it again!!!

saturday: replacing the weather stripping on the front door, and recovering 400 nerf darts in the front yard.
