Weston's birthday

Weston had been looking forward to his birthday for a while.  He told us multiple times what he wanted for his birthday and where he wanted to eat.  What he didn't know about was the big stuffed pig that we found while in Kansas City, so he was surprised to see the big box and wondered what was inside.  I think he was pretty happy with it.  He still loves pigs and Legos.  He spent most of the day playing Legos.  The "chore of the day" for the rest of them was to play whatever Weston wanted to for a little bit, so they brought a bunch of Legos out to the kitchen table and had some sort of battle.      

He wanted French toast, eggs, and turkey bacon for breakfast, Chili's steak and lava cake for dinner, and apple pie for dessert (instead of cake).  He got both the cake from Chili's and apple pie because we celebrated twice - once on his birthday and a couple days later when Alex got home.  After apple pie and cookies 'n cream ice cream, we watched the movie Black Widow.  He had all his pigs, his popcorn, Cheezits, and Oreos there on the chair with him.  It was a good day!  

  

We finally cut Weston's hair!  It hadn't been cut since April 2020.  He didn't want to cut it, so we let it go.  He made a deal that I could give him $20 to cut it.  He had until January (when he becomes a deacon and passes the sacrament at church) to let it grow.  But I was getting tired of trying to get through it on Sundays for church, he was chewing on it and constantly messing around with it.  So he got his $20.  I made him take a picture with it in a pony tail before I cut it (he wasn't too happy about that, but I wanted to see what it looked like).  He looked like a girl.  His hair was longer than mine, but with thick curls, so I wasn't sure where to start.  I cut some big chunks off before trying to use the buzzer on it.  

I don't think he liked his new style very much at first, but he got used to the shorter length and likes it now.  Of course it doesn't look as pristine and polished as when I first cut and styled it, but the length is much better!
