We have been in and out of the house today. We celebrated Noah's 9th birthday. We made his favorite breakfast of French toast, then we ate the cookie cake we bought yesterday. He chose the design when I took him shoe shopping and to buy a present. I let him pick out an expensive Lego set in return for not having a party.
Then, we took the kids to Stone Mountain Park to do the Sky Hike. Eve didn't want to try it in October, but today she decided she would try. She was nervous at several spots, but completed all 3 tiers. We are so proud of her. It started to rain as we were finishing up, so we left. We were going to stop at the movie theatre, but the movie on the marquee isn't showing until tomorrow. So, we took the kids to Noah's favorite place to eat, Chick-Fil-A. Aaron had a headache, so afterwards we went home for a nap.
:::::::::::::Juniors to Cadets::::
After the nap we had Rachel's bridging ceremony. She went from being a Junior Girl Scout to a Cadet. The weather held out for occasion. Granny and Grampa Towhey came with hugs and their cameras.
Michael and Aaron had fun cutting up on the bridge, after the ceremony:
They also started a water bottle fight in the parking lot at Bruster's ice cream. Rachel, Noah and Eve got involved too. Everyone was laughing and damp.
::::::::::::::::::5th Grade Promotion::::::
On Tuesday night, Rachel had fun at her promotion ceremony. She received a certificate for Perfect Attendance and one for doing well on the CRCT.
Wednesday was the last day of school and the 5th graders had "Survivor Day". They got to have a water fight, play on inflated equipment, eat snow cones, sing karaoke and dance to music played by a D.J. They also got served pizza that was ordered in. I was at the school all day and got to see Noah and Eve dance and enjoy the last day, too.
::::::Update::::::
Granny Alice is doing well. Grampa Jim goes into the doctor for a follow-up tomorrow, but says he isn't experiencing any pain. So good news on both fronts. Thanks for the kind words and prayers for their behalf.
I'm in desparate need of a shower. Y'all have a good night, or day.
Smiles!

It has been a fun week. I really enjoyed sharing some of the adventures. The promotion event was very good - loved the slide show but especially loved seeing Rachel receive Honors. The weather was great for the crossover for Girl Scouts. We had a fabulous time. Noah's birthday was a real bash and it will continue at our house tonight with the birthday GRITS.
Wow, you have been busy again! Lots of Congratulations in order and a very Happy Birthday to Noah, love his cake!
Oh Noah, happy birthday darling boy, I missed it. What a fabbo idea for a cookie cake. I so want to have one of those, yum! It would have to be chocolate though, cause chocolate is the ONLY flavour, haha!
Go glad that Alice and Jim have a bit of good news going their way.
