Birthday wishes giveaway!

Wanna chance to win an Amazon.com gift certificate?

I thought so!

Today is Christopher’s 9th birthday!

Happy Birthday, Christophee! Mom loves you to infinity-plus-infinity-plus-one!

This giveaway is in honor of my little guy’s birthday.

Occasionally I will let my boys on my blog to see what I have written about them. I find myself writing about them less and less to protect their privacy, but any time I do tap out a little story or saying about them they LOVE it and keep checking back to see how many comments their stories generate. I thought I would try to tickle him to death by attaching a giveaway contest to his birthday post SO. (Blatant bribery for you all? Yah, pretty much. What can I say? I like making my kids smile.)

The rules are simple: Wish him a happy birthday and make up an awesome “Birthday Wish” for him. (Remember, a 9-year-old will be reading these so please keep it PG.)

I’ll randomly draw from the comments Monday, July 14th at 6:00 PM (MST)and the winner will get a $25.00 gift certificate to Amazon.com (Or any other online store that I can email a gift certificate to!).

I know it is no wii fit giveaway, but that is the downside of not being the reader of an mega A-lister, I suppose. (Hee.)

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER!

    Your birthday being today means you are a cancer, just like me. :o) My birthday is next Saturday! People with July birthdays are super lucky. It’s like we get Christmas every 6 months. Woo!

    I hope you have a really great day today!

    Happy Birthday, Christopher! (LOVE the mask, by the way…)

    I have a son who is 9, too. His name is Alex.

    You know what’s cool about being 9? This is the last birthday you’ll ever have where your age is a single digit. Starting with your 10th birthday, all the rest of them will be a double-digit number. (Unless you live to be 100, and then it will be triple-digits. Obviously, right?)

    Happy Birthday! As a mom to an almost-9-year-old boy, I wish you a day of all the best stuff: bikes and scooters, video games until your eyes fall out, chocolate chips pancakes and extra helpings of ice cream and cake, extra late bedtimes, and no hassling from the parents about cleaning up after yourself, combing your hair, clothes that match, etc and so forth.

    Basically, I wish you a day of you own to do what you want! Congrats on 9 big ones!

    Many years ago today something grew
    inside of your mother…
    That thing was you

    YOU!

    Did she scream did she cry
    Only those that are born are the ones that
    Get to die

    One more year closer to dying
    Rotting organs ripping grinding
    Biological discordance
    Birthday equals self abhorrence

    One more year closer to dying
    Plastic surgeons fuel the lying
    You forget why you came in here
    Your mind rots with every New Year

    Happy Birthday!

    May you, on this NINTH birthday of yours, continue to be even more kind, spectacular, genunine, sweet, honest, true, loyal, funny and adorable than you already are. Today is a celebration of the incredibleness of you. Remember, not only today, but every single day how loved and truly treasured you are.

    Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the IMPORTANT stuff, I hope that you get LOTS of goodies and eat LOTS of cake. Grin.

    You’ve had a birthday,
    Shout hooray!
    I’d like to sing to you today.
    One year older and wiser too.
    Happy birthday to you!

    My birthday wish for you is to learn a new song and here it is: (I don’t speak French, so I don’t really know how to spell the word “parlevous”, but the pronunciation is “par-lay-voo”). Also, the word “pfthfthfth” isn’t really said. It’s more of a farting sound. Enjoy!

    The first marine found the bean,
    Parlevous.
    The second marine cooked the bean,
    Parlevous.
    The third marine ate the bean,
    pfthfthpfath all over the submarine.
    Inky, stinky parlevous.

    If you can’t figure out a tune for it, you could say it as a poem. Every 9-year-old I know loves this song. Happy birthday!

    PS Loralee – You’re welcome! :)

    Happy birthday, Christopher!

    You are nine (9!) years old? Awesome! That is awfully, impressively old, and so much older than eight, which really seems pretty young now, doesn’t it? But don’t let all this newfound age and wisdom go to your head, OK?

    I hope that you have everything your nine-year-old heart desires and more. And I hope that ‘more’ involves frosting. (Tell your mom to just go ahead and give you a bowl of frosting. Every guy should have his own bowl of frosting when he’s nine, and I think it’s in the Constitution or something.)

    Christopher–

    Happy 9th birthday! When I was nine years old, I had a rock collection and I named each and every one of my little “buddies.” I suppose that was a cool enough thing to do, but for your birthday, I hope you collect something a little cooler than rocks. Like maybe baseball cards or something–I don’t know. I’ve never been a boy.

    But anyway, happy birthday even if you do collect rocks!!

    Happy Birthday Christopher!
    If I could send you into your older years with one thing, it’s that your mom is so proud when she talks about you. She beams about her boys. So when she’s old a little senile, know that when you were younger you were her life. Then wipe the drool off her chin.
