Double Digits

If you're wondering what Michael is trying to communicate in this picture, just think Roman numerals.

That's right! Michael is now ten years old. Yesterday morning (much earlier than I had hoped) Michael was up and ready to celebrate.



While I prepared the cupcakes and pizza crust for Michael's party (consisting of one overnight guest), Tim took the kids to ride on bumper boats. I think he got more than he bargained for!



The kids had a great time.




Apparently, Michael managed to get that kid underneath the waterfall after Tim stopped taping.

Michael had one of his close friends, who declined to be blogged, to stay overnight. After the guest arrived, a spirited nerf gun war ensued. Then we had pizza, cupcakes, and ice cream (all vegan, soy-free, gluten free, of course). Dinner was followed by a viewing of Tales of Narnia --Prince Caspian, which all seemed to enjoy -- partially because all of the kids are going to be in a production of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in May.

After a surprisingly good night of sleep, there were bagels, more nerf gun wars, some playing of Life, etc. All in all, I think a very good 10th birtday.
