Holy cow. How do I have a 12 year old? Last year before being an official teenager? Gahhh...
We spent his official birthday up north at the cottage on the lake enjoying the fall colors, the warm temps, and some swimming indoors. He did some shopping at Dollar General (tradition up north) and had pizza from The Hearth and cupcakes back at the house. It was a good day!
He was thrilled to get a Harry Potter Lego set to help complete his castle, tickets to Hamilton, and some East swag.
We celebrated with my parents a weekend later by having brunch at The Sardine Room, looking at the scarecrows, and enjoying cake from an Italian bakery at our house.
The night before Sean had his friends over for a birthday party. We took the boys to Zap Zone to play arcarde games and a game of laser tag. The boys came back over to our house for pizza and cupcakes. They played kickball at the park in our neighborhood and had a hoot driving in the back of Scott's truck to get there. They also played Fortnite together on different devices when it got dark out.
We capped off his birthday celebrating with Scott's family just this weekend by going bowling and out to dinner. It was a fun night!
Sean is rocking middle school! He's off to a strong start in all of his classes - even math! He's coming home excited most days about school and his new friends and all the things middle school. He went to 6th grade camp in Jackson for two nights that he had a great time at. This week he has a Stranger Things Halloween Bash (aka dance) and he's been buzzing about that for quite a while now. I can't get over how positive he has been about school!
He's finishing up fall soccer with another undefeated season and flag football. Flag football was not the best, but he did what he could to help his team.
He's rocking percussion at middle school too! He's taking lessons once a week outside of school to make sure he's got it, but in the mean time, he's enjoying learning the xylophone and the snare drum.
