Today is a big day, my grandson Seth is 5 years old today. Of course he has been celebrating his birthday for a week now. First had a birthday party with friends at the park. He had a great day. His daddy was home that week end, so they took advantage and had the party. I didn't go because I have issues, which my daughter respects, her dad [my ex] was there with his significant other and even after 5 years I cannot make myself smile and say hello, even for the sake of the kids. So we had another birthday celebration with me.

We had a great day, went to the Rain Forest Cafe in Tempe, and shopped. Yes I shopped, but I had my daughter with me as a buffer. Oh and the 3 boys, they definitely help me to be able to walk around the mall. I am busy with them, so I don't pay attention to the people around. Plus we went on a Tuesday afternoon, so the mall was less crowded.

I was able to get the outfit for my son's Irish wedding. I will be in green as requested, well mostly green. I have a green top and a black skirt. Then was able to get a black cover-up in case it is chilly in the evening. Vegas still has chilly evenings.

Mostly we had a great day together; we hugged, we laughed, we ate, we played. Now, today is his real birthday date and they are off to McDonalds for an ice cream and play in the playroom; his request and mom said ok. I told him I would call him on his birthday, but he informed me that he didn't have a phone. I said I would call his mom and she would let me talk to him. It was funny, he looked so confused.

So Happy Birthday Seth. Grammy loves you very much.
