Benjamin's 6th Birthday

Benjamin chose to have a sleepover with his bestie for his birthday this year, much to my delight. I wasn't feeling super enthusiastic to plan a big party, so it was especially nice when he chose to have a smaller, more intimate special day than his big brother's urging suggested. Benji asked his friend William, a friend from our old neighborhood and new BFF from half day kindergarten, to spend the afternoon and overnight with us. When the week gave us many rainy days and soggy soil, we had to move our planned backyard campout indoors. The kids had a great time, nonetheless, and we still enjoyed a fire in the firepit for roasting hot dogs. It's hard to believe this little guy is now 6 and finishing up kindergarten. It's true when they say that the days are endless, but the years fly by!
