It’s great. http://www.thewallners.com/2012/05/eight-its-great/ http://www.thewallners.com/2012/05/eight-its-great/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 21:06:25 +0000 Lisa http://www.thewallners.com/?p=7641 Woke up to a bedroom with a floorful of balloons, and then by request, a “regular breakfast.” Pajama Morning. Lucy and Luke helped Brett open her gifts and read her cards.  BLTs with avocado for lunch. Discovery Place: raising objects using The Force, snake petting and lying on a bed of nails. A run to the bookstore [Brett used her birthday treat money to get herself AND her brother a new book. What a girl!]  Playing playing reading playing playing. Pizza for dinner. A busy fun day for Miss Eight.
