Titus is a loving son and brother, sensitive and caring and smart a whip (or bug what ever the confusing cliche is). In his free time he enjoys being outside, and building things. He is also our adrenaline junky and an exceptional athlete. Plus, as you can see, he is one handsome sharp dressed guy.
For a number of reasons (last year being such a bummer for him for one) we really wanted to make this birthday special. I am happy to report we were completely successful.
First step was to clear his birthday day of any obligations....check
Make French Toast Bake for breakfast, then let him open up his cards....check
Though tempted to replace the box contents with cat food (long story), Lance resisted and we presented the box sent to him intact. He then spent the rest of the morning building per one gift or shooting per another.
The afternoon was spent with friends, playing in the woods; where he fell in the creek and tested the waterproofness of his pants (they passed) and playing games inside.
He and his siblings then stayed to watch a movie and eat pizza at their friends house (Chris and I got a surprise impromptu date and watched "Sully" we liked it so much we watched again with kids twice over the weekend).
His big gift was still in hiding though because it required the court to be dry. Thankfully, the weather cleared in the afternoon and the roads were dry Saturday morning, so that we could reveal his final gift.
Harv was the voice of reason when we discussed getting Titus a Go-cart, pointing out the hills in our neighborhood, then Chris found the "Crazy Cart". It has to be run on level ground, which means in the court for our purposes (though they chose Grand Central Station), its electric, it can drift, spin and consequently has no breaks....It's CRAZY and he absolutely LOVES it!
He's not the only one who loves it, so do all his siblings, even Chris and I took a ride. The kids used chalk to set up a track and at night they mount a flashlight to the front and have IMSA rallies. This was definitely what the doctor ordered to fill his need for speed, in a fairly safe manner.
Beside more maze building and racing, the weekend finished off with a church pot-luck and time playing/talking with friends (depending on your age).
He's a happy fellow, He's a happy boy! Got his new Crazy Cart! It's his pride and joy! Oy! (It was an umbrella in the original song but it works)
