Henry loved his "cake" (pan of scotcharoos). Paige expressed concern about the number of candles. She was worried we might burn the house down. I was actually a bit worried too since the candles are being held up by a tiny bit of frosting on top of the bars. We had to take this picture quickly.
Which present should Daddy open first?We have found that Paper Rock Scissors solves just about any disagreement. We have back to back rules when the stakes are high to avoid cheating. We also generally go best two out of three, in case you were wondering.
I let the kids choose their gifts for Daddy this year. Actually, this isn't the first one that Paige chose. I fibbed and told her the hot pink version of this Polo shirt wasn't the right size. She quickly decided that this was the one! She also made a gold star crown for the birthday boy. This is the first time that the kids really made their own choices so it was a lot of fun to buy the gifts. Henry loved them all.
The blow-out aftermath...who was worried? I was obviously too slow to get a picture of Henry actually blowing the candles out, but this is even better. I laughed out loud when I saw that I had captured the smokey haze. Quick, cut the "cake"...we love scotcharoos!
