"TODAY I AM SEVEN!"

That's what Becket shouted when he woke up this morning at 7am. It rang loudly as if it were from a mountain top. The excitement was overwhelming to this boy of 7.

I love this boy.
*He's easy to shop for
*Very sensitive to others feelings, so that makes him nice and a good future husband (I hope).
*And, he makes up funny songs on a whim and then sings them in his silly sing songy voice.

Here are some highlights from the Par-TY week.

LEGO Star Wars party

The LEGO cake was accessorized by the Birthday Man,

clean up was taken care of by sister Gretchen.

Jedi Training course, it involved a lot of jumping, flinging, and hitting stuff.

Light Saber Limbo

For the finale, Darth Vader presented the cake BOOMING, "Becket, I am your father. "
Becket's reply, "No you're not."
Mat, "Yes. I really am."

Then there was just lots of fighting after that. What else would you expect from kids this age?

I think Becket was happy, he better be or I'm getting out the Darth Vader mask. Thanks to all who came.

Note to self: When your child is given silly putty as a gift from the party, make sure you give instructions to your little sister to not use it to make fake head wounds. It could be a ratty mess.

Yay! Happy birthday, Becket! By the way, I love kids' quotes on the side bar (as usual). They always brighten my day.

Happy Birthday Mr. Becket Harris! WE LOVE YOU! Wish we could have been there to sword fight you. I bet you are even better at fake slaying people now that you are seven.

ummm. sorry about the silly putty. guess that's not so smart to let a 3 year old decide what to get for a birthday present. please let's still be friends.
