Birthday Closure

For one last birthday event, I took J and his friend Wesley to the mall to get ice cream at Cold Stone's Creamery. We do the birthday club and get a coupon for a free ice cream, and of course I left it at home. Before that I made the boys scour JC Penney's for some Bermuda attire and then they used their own quarters for the arcade.

The loot from the earned tickets.

Wes' eyes shows what sugar can do to a boy.

I was completely prepared to share J's ice cream and then he picked out a icky flavor so I had to get my own, coffee with a Reese's peanut butter cup, to share with V of course.

Here's what the boys got:

Wes - pink lemonade sorbet with gummy bears.

J- cotton candy with MM's

Such a kid combo. I do remember going to the Rainbow Creamery growing up and always choosing the bubble gum ice cream because then I would save (and by save I mean spit on to a napkin) the gumballs to chew after I finished the ice cream. Double treat, huh?

Then we came home to find the final package that J knew grandma had sent and has been daily asking (in a polite attempt) about.

And now birthday celebrations are over.
