Mondo Birthday Weekend, Pt 1

The NZS2's bday is today. The HB's is Monday, but we got the weekend started last night by taking the HB (and the NZS2) and 3 of his buddies to see Monsters Vs. Aliens. In 3-D. At the IMAX. It was very cool and everyone had a good time. We even saw a gaggle of other kids from the HB's school there.

The NZS headed out after we grabbed some burgers and the other boys stayed the night. I was pleased with how well they got along (2 are from the HB's school, the other is a friend from camping) and the wife and I didn't have to do any refereeing. They played Wii, watched a movie, etc until about midnight. Then, back up at 7am. I whippped them up some waffles, bacon and fruit salad and their parents swooped them up at around 10.

The NZS2 has had a bit of a tough time getting his bday activities together. He wanted to do a bbq and laser tag tonight, but too many of his friends already had stuff going on (soccer tournaments, etc.). So, it looks like just the bbq tomorrow night. He's been wanting sushi. Well, not really sushi, but chicken rolls that look like sushi, so we're going to head to Little Tokyo for that after the HB's guitar lesson. Also, since he turned 18, he'd be legal to drink in NZ. Of course, alcohol has crossed his lips, but still kind of a bummer than he can't go out for a couple (legally) here tonight.

Tomorrow we'll have the dual bday party at my s-i-l's. Monday is the beginning of the HB's spring break, so the wife and I are taking the day off. Who knows what we'll be up to.
