Day Twenty Three

Sometimes you just have to get a little creative, and go with the flow.  You might even find that you like the way it turns out!  Here is my example this morning...Adam turned 14 yesterday, which doesnt make me feel any older btw:)  Ha ha ha...Well, Adam was asked what the perfect birthday dinner would be and he said "SPAGHETTI TACOS."  (Thanks ICarly for that one) Off we went to go shopping!

We stopped at the grocery store to pick up a birthday pie ( Adam is a fiend for pie) and the taco shells, since we had everything else needed for this perfect dinner.  The cart filled fast as Adam asked for the following:

Birthday Pie - French Silk (YUMMM)
Taco shells
Whipped cream in a can ( just plain fun to eat)
Ice cream
Klondike bars ( more ice cream)
Orange soda from Mexico ( celebrating international cultures here)
Bendy Straws ( ask me about that one later, you angels know what we can do with those)

Ok, so we head to the cashier and it is a young guy.  I say " I bet you can tell that we are celebraing a 14 year olds birthday with this pile of random" and I thought the guy was going to call security!  He obviously skipped right through that age when growing up. 

The night was really fun, and Adam had his friend Josh over and they ate pie, played video games and drank orange pop...with an occasional spray of whipped cream to fill their mouths with in between.  It was the perfect birthday party for him.  There was a reason to celebrate, someone to hang out with, fun that he decided on and a few things just for him!  We wrapped up the fun with a little game I like to call
" 14 Questions."  All that Adam wanted for his birthday was a remote control car.  ( a very cool and expensive one) And he just wanted cash towards that.  The game was simple...answer the questions, get the cash delegated for each question.  We had so much fun!  And he knew almost all of the answers too, so that was really the bonus for him.  I gave him all of the money toward the car anyway, but it was a lot more fun to play this way.  Here is the photo of the dinner that started the night out.



All I am saying today is why not let someone shine, just because you can!  Adam had a great time, and I loved watching him enjoy it too.  It is ok to make spaghetti tacos once in a while.  And, remember to have a little random fun in your life too.
