The Teen is sixteen today! Last year, he got cheated out of a birthday because of all the summer school nonsense he was involved in, as well as the unfortunate scheduling of his wisdom teeth extraction. How horrible! What mother books oral surgery for his birthday weekend? Me, because that was the only time to do it since he was involved in so many activities.

This year, things are slightly better. Summer school is still screwing stuff up but no surgery scheduled. However, we are in production week for Grease and can’t do anything on his actual birthday, so to make up for it, we bought him tickets to see Once, a musical at the Pantages. He’ll be going with his friend. And then once production week is done, we’ll head out for dinner and a movie (Guardians of the Galaxy) which he is dying to see.

In case you are wondering, he is not driving yet. He doesn’t have the time to complete driver’s training. After summer school, he’ll hopefully be able to finish.

Soooo…Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day! We love you!
