On Connor’s birthday this year, it was initially meant to be the annual carnival on the last day of Math Enrichment, but unfortunately it was cancelled this year due to the school construction.  The boys were a bit disappointed; however since it was his birthday, Connor was happy to have a day off with me.  Maxim’s parents and I had made plan to take turns taking care of the boys on the two off days (Thursday and Friday), so for Connor’s birthday, we had Maxim with us as well.

    The boys had some game time first in the morning, then I took them out to eat pizza for lunch.  Connor somehow had pizza daily since his birthday party and he was pleased that it was the 6th day that day.  After lunch, we went to see the Aladdin.  The movie was much better than my expectation, so all of us really enjoyed it.  After Maxim’s parent picked up Maxim in the afternoon, the three of us went to the pool to swim.  It was very quiet on a Thursday afternoon, so we had fun having the pool mainly to ourselves.  For dinner, Connor finally chose something other than pizza, so after Stuart came home and we went out for ramen.  Connor looked forward to the evening to eventually find out if he had more presents.  We wrapped up the day with our family favorite ice cream cake and then played a few rounds of family laser tags with his new toy.  Connor loves birthdays and he enjoyed this year very much as well.
