Double digits?!!

10th B-day party
The Escape room

Our Mission:  Investigation of a Miss Treedeath.  "As rogue detectives, you must break into Miss Treedeath's apartment and search for any clues giving away her next murder and gather evidence to make an arrest.  You'd better hurry, it might be bad for you if she comes home soon."   It was way harder then I thought!  There were a ton of layers to the puzzles and they were tricky to figure out.  We did not get out on time but it was still really fun!  I think if I ever did it again I would be way better at it. 

The rules

Buca's for lunch after!

I'm totally blown away that my oldest boy is 10!!  Double digits- that seems so old to me.  When did this happen?!  I remember turning 10.  Axel sure has taught me so much about being a parent.  He knows how to push my and his brothers buttons.  He is so smart, funny and continues to amaze me with the questions he asks.  He is in 4th grade.  He is a part of the Robotics club and in the school newspaper.  He enjoys playing soccer and riding his bike.  He can be the most amazing sweet big brother and a second later he's pushing his brothers off the couch.  He likes to read.  I love this- we can read the same books and talk about them.  (he even asked the other day if we could to the library pick a book together and see what we both thought about it) Love, Love, Love.  He challenges me daily with his spirit.  He likes to play on his Xbox (new this year for xmas) and has been learning a ton about computers.  He emails me now- little things like "Hi".  It super cute and fun!  Please lord, remind me of the sweet little toddler he once was as he transitions to the next phases of growing up. He has already been asking about girls.  (like- "Mom, is it weird to want to go on a date with someone in 4th grade?"  I was like- ahh, do you have some one in mind?  He said he didn't but was just wondering.  I am so not ready for that?!!)  Happy Birthday Axel.  I'm so proud to be your Mom and really do enjoy watching/participating in you growing up. Please remember to take it easy on your parent's as you attempt to figure out this crazy life!  Love you!!!
