20201016 - Up early to get blood drawn and get things rolling for a busy day. One of G's braces fell off yesterday so called the orthodontist but they can't see him until Monday. L at work, G up and we measured him, he grew 4.5 inches this last year and falls right between D&J when they were 14. G&I then headed to the AT&T store where he got a new iPhone 11 for his bday, he was very excited. We then went to Easton and got him a nice case and screen protector. We got some Cinnabon cinnamon rolls as we headed out. We stopped at an eye glass place quick to see if they had the magnetic sunglasses I love, no luck. home and I got to work and G hung out. L home and GmaB and Nicole stopped over. G's friends started showing up early. I finished my day and J ran with me to the high school to pick up the hot dog steamer and we had to cross the picket lines of striking teachers. The protesters lined both sides of Hamilton Rd. and it was like nothing I've ever seen around here before.
We got the steamer and headed home. L&I set up some games in the backyard and the rest of G's buddies showed up and played outside. J went with me to get the pizzas and we came home and ate, had an ice cream cake L made for G and he opened his presents. The boys went back outside and we kept them out there as long as possible before the enormous sound had to enter the house and take over the basement and then the room over the garage. I think they were up all night...
