I think he had a good day although it did not go quite as planned! He told us he wanted to go swimming. That sounded great until we realized that Deanna's swimsuit was still in the boxes we shipped. Not a problem, as we thought that she'd probably grown out of that one, so we went to buy a new one. We went to a shopping area which was near IKEA so we could take advantage of the free face painting they had that day.
We purchased a swimsuit for Deanna and looked around IKEA, then received a call from Gary saying his swimsuit was still in the shipping boxes too. So much for the swimming - as we couldn't justify spending the money on an extra swimsuit for Gary - so we promised the kids we will go as soon as the boxes arrive.
After we got home Nicholas said he wanted to take his new skateboard to the skate park. Not a problem - until we arrived and found the place crowded with teenagers smoking etc. So that had to wait for another day too.
He decided he wanted to go to McDonalds for his birthday meal. So we went. Currently they have the "Monopoly" game promotion running and Nicholas won an instant prize of fruit slices. He went to claim his prize only to find out they were out of fruit slices. Nothing seemed to be going right for him that day .... then they offered him a large ice cream instead and he was happy.
We returned home to cake and ice cream with promises of swimming and the skate park for another day!!!
