I'm sitting on my phone as the kids are watchng TV in the hotel room and realizing that this really is the end of the COVID birthdays. The video won't be done until later in the week but I'll put a place holder here, as I felt the need to write:
 
 
I don't exactly know how we'll look back on this period. I have to think it will be with some dread. Even though we made the most of every possible predicament, it still sucked. Of course Vienna will love this 9th birthday weekend... but it was the same weekend from Memorial Day when we thought THAT was the end of everything and they'd be going back to school the next month. So although I think they'll appreciate these birthdays even more? It's hard to tell as it dragged through TWO years. Had it just been 2020? Sure. Now? Whew. We're getting tired of this shit. We're gonna let the kids go back to school a week after their first shot so that could possibly be November 8th or November 15th. We're RIGHT there.... but this recent bout of homeschooling has suuuuuuuuuucked. So although this weekend has been a blast and Vienna and Cam seem like the happiest kids ever? You'll have to ask them in a few years what they think.. 'cause mama and dada are tired.
 
But Vienna is 9 and I'll write all about that... well, right now - just in a different entry.
 
WATER SLIDE BIRTHDAY!!!!
