Mason had a great day today! I worked from home today, so I offered to take Madison to school so Brad could ride bikes with Mason to school. He was so excited to go that I didn't even get a picture before they took off down the street!
Next up, I surprised him at lunchtime at school with Chickfila and baseball cupcakes. He was shocked to see me (the school made an exception for the no parent visits before Sept 15) and I loved getting to eat with him and meet his classmates.
After school, he went to Kids R Kids (he still says his favorite part of the day is riding the bus and playing in the gym), Brad and I picked Mason & Madison up and showed him his present... a new basketball! He was grinning ear-to-ear, then sheepishly added "you know, Mommy, I hope we can get a new basketball goal one day." It really made my heart smile. He was so careful to not sound ungrateful for his new ball and he truly didn't expect anything else.
So I told him to go check the back of daddy's truck...
I wish I could say the new goal magically assembled itself, but 4 adults and 2 hours later (thanks sweet neighbors!) we were finally in business.
We grabbed pizza for dinner so Mason and daddy could play some basketball and just enjoyed family time before Brad headed to work.
Happy birthday, Mason! You are still the light of our lives and we are honored to be your parents as you continue to grow into the man God created you to be. Thank goodness we have a few more years until that manhood stuff starts ;)
We love you!!
