Will's Half Birthday

Will's half birthday is normally when we have his presents and party with friends since his actual birthday is so close to Christmas.  This year however, his party sort of became a victim of our move.  I neglected to plan his party before school let out (it just never entered my mind!) and that would have been the only way I could have invited his school friends since I never got to know any of their parents. (On a side note that was another difficult thing about living in Roanoke - all the other moms worked so it was hard to arrange play dates after school to get to know anyone.  All the kids just went to day care after school.)  So since school friends really weren't an option we thought through several other potentials, none of which really worked well.  In the end just the three of us baked cupcakes and opened presents at home then went fishing at Carvins Cove.  I'm glad Will can be flexible when it counts!  : ) 

We got Will a rubber band bracelet loom since he has been so into rubber band
bracelets lately but even I couldn't fully figure out how to use the loom!!

 

Will was frustrated by not catching any fish that day but the cupcakes
at home were some consolation!  : )
