On Monday, Walter turned 9.
I didn't have his birthday party at my house
because some important family members were out of town.
But of course, we couldn't let the day pass without a celebration.
He chose Bow Ties because he felt like eating chicken fingers and they have good ones.
After eating, he was allowed to pick a dessert we would all share.
He chose banana pudding.
We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
Walter has a great love of small, die-cast metal cars.
We found this one online many months ago.
I wrote it down and ordered it for his big day.
It is a vintage 1953 cherry red Cadillac.
He loved it!
His real Happy Birthday party will be at Gram's house this Saturday night.
He wants a Broccoli-Chicken casserole for his main course,
and my famous Chocolate Surprise for dessert.
There will be lots of lawn darts in the backyard,
presents to open in front of the fireplace,
blowing out of the candles,
and a hearty rendition of "Happy Birthday to You."
Today Gus and his class hosted a Roman feast for the 5th and 6th graders.
It's a huge deal.
Lots of Roman togas and head wraps.
Yesterday afternoon he came to my kitchen to cook his dishes.
He made Barley Porridge and Pyramid Cakes.
Everything turned out well.
The pyramid Cakes did not look like pyramids but they tasted delicious.
He is making the cakes in the picture above.
I hope it all made it to school today warm and delicious.
He is quite the conscientious cook.
He measures well and can double recipes.
We made a mess but that's okay.
Messes can be cleaned up!
Two boys ~ two joys!
💙💙
