Back to School Party

We had been talking to Boston all week about his back to school party. We told him that he could choose what we did. He was dead set on going Miniature golfing until the morning of. He asked how much it was going to cost (definitely a question coming from our recent emphasis on earning money and spending it wisely thing) and how long it would last. After hearing that it was going to cost about $30 and last only an hour he wasn't too excited about it. He sat on our bed for a good thirty minutes and weighed all the pros and cons of everything he wanted to do. If we went to the beach we wouldn't be able to go swimming later, but it didn't cost any money. If we went to Disney Land it wouldn't cost any money and we could still go swimming later. He finally decided on Disney Land so we got our ears on and headed out the door toe Disney for a couple hours. 

 It was his first time going on the Grizzly River Run and he was so proud of how "soaked" he got. He loved it so much that he got to go on it twice once with Dad and once with Mom. When he went with me he made friends with this cute young couple behind us and told them all about Kindergarten and how nervous he was. They were dying they he was even a tiny bit nervous seeing as how he was even a tad bit shy talking to them. When we came to the front and they asked how many were in our party Boston happily said four and we got to ride with our new friends. They were either really good at acting or they really liked him. 

 After we came home and gave the little man a nap and then went swimming. When then came home and had Family Night and introduced our new family theme for the school year. 

Do what is Right not what is Easy.

We talked a lot about how it is usally easier to make bad choices than it is good ones. We talked about how sometimes he might have friends that make choices that he knows are wrong and it will be hard not to do what they do, but how we will always be blessed for making good choices. 

After that he set out his first day of school outfit and said he prayers and asked LOTS of time that he would have fun and make lots of friends and not be nervous.
