SOOC Saturday ~ Paintball edition




slurping

My son is turning 12 next week – I know, I can’t believe it either.  He celebrated today with a paintball party and some good friends.  And left with more than a few hard earned welts and bruises.  Good fun.

First, the sleepy boy with his cookie cake.  My kids aren’t big cake eaters so they get cookie cakes, and this is the best looking one we’ve ever gotten.

Getting ready to rumble.

I don’t know, can I call him my little toughie even though he’ s almost 12?  We won’t tell him.

Even though he wore two layers of clothes he came home with bruises battle wounds which he is very proud of.  I was safe behind a huge mesh tarp, in charge of protecting the cake and drinks.  I always get the most important jobs.

His actual birthday is next week, and on that day we will discuss how it is impossible that my baby is 12.

        I have an almost 11 year old (step son) and that seems impossible too. He went off to a friend’s birthday yesterday at a Laser Skirmish joint but I hadn’t thought of paintball for the next party…hmmmmmm (cogs clicking over). Love the ‘cake’ shot. I’ve never heard of cookie cakes but our lad is not a cake lover either. I wonder if anyone does them here in Australia…..?

        T wants to play paintball, but on the other hand he has seen the welts on people who play and he really doesn’t want that part. It seems like it would hurt so much to me too! Yikes!

        Happy birthday to your son – they do grow up so fast!
