3. Their/there: While there refers to a place, their refers to possession
kids’…?: Kid’s indicates more than one child and possession. The example in parenthesis indicates only one child’s birthday. Both are correct. A question was asked, so a question mark is used.
Saw: The past tense of to see is saw.
week, and: A comma should be used to separate two complete sentences with a conjunction (and).
To/Too: Too is a synonym for also or means an excess of something. To should be used here as a preposition.
Myself: This word is misspelled. Myself is one word.
