Help! Another Teenager in the House!!

It's official, Rustin is now a Teenager!  He turned 13 today, Sept. 5, 2008.  His birthday started off with breakfast in bed consisting of Krispy Kreme donuts and orange juice.  Next he opened a card full of cash. Yummy!

Donuts in bed, it doesn't get better than this!

His latest obsession is with the T.V. show "Heroes" and so we got him a nice poster for his room.  Yeah, he likes it!

Unbeknownst to either Rustin or myself, Russ had bought him a gas powered scooter (which is what he was going to spend his money on) and had it hidden in the garage. So after he had breakfast and showered Russ asked him to go grab something from the fridge in the garage. He came in with his real present and a big smile on his face. Russ proceeded to teach him how to start it and care for it and so forth. Surprisingly, Rustin didn't try to keep the money AND the new scooter, but gave the cash back to his shocked mother.

Luckily Rustin still had time before the bus came to take his present out for a quick spin.  I love seeing the smile on his face.  Priceless!

My oldest is only 9 and I'm so not looking forward to having 3 teenage girls at the same time!
