First day of kindergarten. A little late on the first day of school pictures, but here he is in his new classroom, wearing his favorite star wars shirt. He loves kindergarten, and especially loves the python named Sylvester who resides in his classroom. The hermit crabs, fish, lizards, frogs, and tadpoles, are pretty great too.
Another first... the first lost tooth! A very big day around here. He lost it at school and brought it home in a little box, with great pride. Yes, the tooth fairy did come, and he said he's going to keep the gold dollar that she left forever.
Happy 6th Birthday Reed! We had a party in the back yard. We roasted hotdogs and marshmellows, and played on the zip line, tramp, and the new huge swing Dad and uncle Brian put in the Oak tree. When it got dark we had fireworks too. As the kids were swinging around the roasting sticks, I wondered whose bright idea it was to equip 7 boys with swords at dusk. They had a great time, but I am glad that we didn't poke out any eyes, burn any fingers or toes, or catch the trees in the back yard on fire from the fireworks. Oh, and for those of you who don't have a 6 or 7 year old boy, and are wondering--is it a jack-o-lantern?--is it a spider? --what is that? The cake is a "bakugan" ball, which is all the rage right now for Reed and his friends. Also, this is the second batch of cupcakes and cake. The first batch was finished at 11 am, which was well in advance of the party. I was feeling very good about not rushing right before the party. One should be very careful with those kinds of feelings. Several hours later, the cake which was placed on top of the fridge to keep it out of reach of Marlie (who will climb on the table), fell out of balance when the door was open and shut by my unsuspecting husband. The cake flipped over, along with the cupcakes, face down on the floor. I should have taken a picture of that view of the cake. Thankfully it didn't happen right before the party, and I had time to pull a cake together with a little learning curve from the first cake.
Lainey, with her roasting stick ready to go roast her marshmellow!
