We celebrated Zeke's 8th birthday with a fun octopus cake
and a stack of pizzas
and some wonderful friends
After a lot of playing outside, some pizza, and some more playing outside, Zeke opened presents and we had cake/cupcakes and ice cream. Some people made root beer floats, and grandma and grandpa brought rice krispie treats too.
Then it was back outside for more playtime until parents came. And - surprise! - the sprinklers turned on! Everyone screamed and some ran away, but most everyone came back to play in the sprinklers and it turned into kind of a pool party. Not what I had in mind for 8 pm in early May, but they had a blast!
A few of them left soaking wet, and very happy!
Happy, happy 8th birthday to my wonderful Zeke! He is an awesome student and really works hard to do well. He has a bit of a perfectionist streak in him, which both drives him and frustrates him at the same time. For the most part it works for his good. He treasures his [limited] free time when he can play games on the computer, play board games, build tracks for trains, race hot wheels cars, go on bike rides, and play outside. One of my favorite things to do with him is snuggle in at bedtime and read together. He makes me laugh and I love him more everyday!
