Neona turns 9 on Monday. She was not very happy that she would have school on her birthday so we told her that she can consider the whole weekend hers. A whole weekend of no chores and special fun. Friday night Noelle went to the high school football game so we went to the park.

James was just getting into town as we dropped off Noelle so we met up at Subway. Subway is the only fast food in town and we wanted to eat at the park. So we got our sandwiches and headed to the park. Yes, I did cheat and ate a sandwich. Actually I got a wrap and told myself that it was not as bad as regular bread even though I am sure it is. I have lost 10 lbs on this no flour or sugar thing so I felt I deserved it.

On the way home from the park Nicole snooped around in the Land Rover and found one of Neona's gifts. We figured that she would end up ruining the surprise so Neona got her first gifts early. She got Mario Kart for the Wii, an extra steering wheel, some lip gloss, and a couple of bottles of nail polish. The rest of the night was spent playing Mario Kart of course.

Saturday, Nicole and Neona went to a friend's birthday party. We decided to not have a party this year because there have already been a lot of parties around. Plus there would be no room in this house if she got more presents. The girls already have more things than they need.

Since today is Sunday (James' only day off), James and the girls are on their way to the city that James' dad and grandparents live in. The girls will visit with the grandparents while James gets in some golf with a friend of his. Neona is excited because she was told that her grandparents will be making a big dinner for her. I am taking this time to get a few things done. I am really far behind on a lot of things.

Neona is still getting another gift but I want this one to actually be a surprise on her birthday so I can not say anything on here yet. I am sure she is snooping everywhere trying to figure it out.
