I managed to sneakily close his door and get the streamers up about 15 minutes before he woke up. It looks like Mark went around and through the girls room and shared bathroom to hand him and instrument of destruction.
What is more appropriate that the sword of Braveheart to usher in your manhood.
One hot Huffmuffin for breakfast and he was off to spend the day as a Youth Leader at Cub Camp. We stopped by in the early afternoon to bring a Big Gulp of Sprite with lots of ice. The theme for this year's camp was "Camping on the face of the Sun". Welcome to Kansas, folks.
For dinner he asked for a roast with mashed potatoes and french bread (sliced, buttered and warmed in a glorious cocoon of tinfoil). I once had a missionary ask me if I "made this bread myself"......why, yes. Yes, I did.
His cake was yellow with blue cool whip icing and crazy candles....as requested.
Mark grandly delivered the cake for the ceremonial blowing out of candles. Unfortunately, he wasn't aware that those curly waxy sticks were, in fact, candles.
Do over!
What to wish for? What to wish for?
How about a Reuben.....
Ta da! Reaben appears!
Mathew received lots of treats, and a monitor for use in his room as he learns to code on his Raspberry Pi (it's a computer thingy). I also grabbed a scooter at the last minute. Which he oped to trade in for a iTunes gift card. Wah wah....welcome to teenagehood. Brutal honesty.
Exactly one week later and we had a birthday party with friends...which I allowed on a "Family Year" due to epicness of turning 13. But I actually love teenager parties. There is nothing easier.
Food.
Soda.
Paper goods.
Movie.
Party is a success!
