Ford is 7, again!

How many times can one little boy turn 7 or celebrate turning 7?  We have now successfully had three rounds of birthday festivities.  Round 1 was with his class at school.  Round 2 was a family party the day before his actual birthday on May 1.  And round 3 was yesterday because we hadn’t yet had an actual “friend” party if you will.  I am partied out and out of money.

Ford decided in March that he wanted a swimming party.  Well, you can’t exactly do that on May 1 with Mississippi weather.  I told him we must wait.  As the wait went on he decided no to swimming and yes to a baseball party.  I was like whatever you want child.  Puddin suggested or offered to have the party at her house since #1 she has a pool and #2 her yard is much more established than ours is. 

Yesterday was party day.  It was pretty until 2:00 when the bottom fell out of the sky.  Problems…. Lots of problems when your party is scheduled to be OUTSIDE.  But y’all know me, I got plans…back up plans… plans A and B.  Plan A was Puddin’s house.  Plan B was the multipurpose building at their school.  I text the moms at 2:30 to inform then A- the party was still on and B- I would let them know the location by 4:00.  Yep, out of character for me.  I think three kids has chilled me a bit.  If this would have been a few years ago I would have come unglued.

By 3:50 I text to come to the school and we’d play baseball there and then decide the course of action….

When the Wal-Mart bakery spells your name "Fora" you just go with it!

Happy Birthday again, Ford!
