Peanuts

So, I found out today that there is a new Peanuts movie being released in animated 3D in 2015!  I am super excited.  I love all things Snoopy.  The problem will probably be getting someone to go with me.  Maybe my Brinley will be old enough to try going to the movies by then (although 3 is a little young).  Anyway, this reminded me of Austin as a baby, which always makes me happy.  We decorated his room in baby snoopy.  It was so cute, but I can't find the pictures.  We also had a baby snoopy baby shower.  Did I mention that I love Snoopy.  Anybody who wants to see the movie with me, just give me a shout.

                                                                 cute, right?

The teenager

So as of 7:21 this morning I have a teenager.  My baby turned 13.  We celebrated his birthday with the Ahrens side of the family yesterday.  It was simple.  For weeks he had been asking to go to Texas Road House for steak for his birthday.  Yesterday, he changed his mind and wanted Applebees to go.  I was a little disappointed, but it was what he wanted ;) I made him a peanut butter chew cake because he has been asking for peanut butter chews for a while too.  He loved it, but Paige and Cady didn't seem to thrilled.  I ate too many pieces of course and made myself sick.  It has made me not eat so much today though.  Today we didn't do anything special.  Austin had kind of a nice day for a birthday this year with it being on a Sunday and daylight savings time.  He slept a little late anyway.  He missed a few calls, but finally woke up when grandma bev called.  I was so proud of him though.  I got him the Sims 4 game and told him we would pick out some shoes later.  Instead of griping about only getting that, he thanked me (which is much different than he has been lately).  But, poor Austin, I forgot that my laptop was dropped and the dvd drive does not work so he couldn't load the game on my computer and the desktop is so old that we tried putting it on there but it only made 4% progress over five hours.  We finally decided to give up for now.  So, we didn't make it to the store to get his shoes and he can't use his Sims.  It didn't turn out to be such a great day for him after all.  He did get to go see David for a while which made him happy :)  I just can't believe that he is 13!
