Keller's 8th birthday!

Keller turned 8 on Sunday. Sometimes it's hard to believe it has ONLY been eight years since he was born ;) but mostly it's hard to believe he's already half-way to driving age. Ahhhh!

For school on Friday, "we" made Mummy Cookies for his class. They're milanos covered with frosting 'bandages' and gel eyes. I pushed for something healthier but still Halloweenish--my fun/gory idea was to make bread sticks in the shape of skeleton bones and give the kids some pizza sauce (blood) to dunk their bones in. Keller quickly informed me that none of the other kids were 'forced' to bring something they didn't want. So cookies it was. Because heaven forbid a child be 'forced' to eat something other than cupcakes or cookies on his birthday.





We celebrated his birthday with a bash at our gym on Sunday afternoon. The kids got to spend an hour on the rock wall, then had pizza and cake, then spent an hour in the pool. Everyone had a blast and I think we sent a few kids home tired. Not mine, of course. We hit a playground for an hour after the party :)
