Today, my biggest boy is celebrating his 7th birthday! Yes, I'm a little wierded out by that, but that's a whole other post. This one's about him. Being Caden's parents has given us some of the most amazing experiences in the world.Anyone who knows him, would agree that he is an outstanding child. So what great things will this birthday bring? Well, for starters, this is what he looked like when he woke up this morning...
Birthday spankins went a little overboard huh? Just kidding. Don't turn us in to Child and family services! He had an allergic reaction to something he ate. My fault...lesson learned. In the hustle and bustle of gettibg party things ready, I stopped for Chinese take-out Wednesday night. Caden wanted left-overs for lunch Thursday, and by the time I picked him up from school, he was covered in welts. Benadryl cleared them right up, but they came back overnight. So we called his Dr. this morning who is out of town, and they gave us an appointment with her associate. Guess what...He was chinese, and when he asked if Caden had been exposed to anything out of the ordinary, I had to tell him I thought the Chinese food did it! More specifically, the overload of MSG. Yeah, I knew better. Luckily he and I both understood that the not so authentic chinese takeout is not the same as genuine bonafide chinese food. I was still embarrased. So, more benadryl...and a party tonight.
I think I must have lost my mind. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to invite the entire basketball team!
After a dinner of T-rex meat (dino nuggets), triceratops bones (white cheetos), velociraptor eggs (deviled eggs), stegasaurus spikes (apple wedges), and molten lava (punch), we went outside for a volcano explosion (mentos and diet coke with a paper mache volcano for looks!)
Then we headed out to the Museum of Ancient Life for some more dinosaur madness. I forgot my camara, but our wonderful family never fails to take care of us...so when they send me the pics, I'll post them! Thanks to aunts and uncles, and big cousins, we were actually able to enjoy the party despite the insanity! We love you Caden. Happy birthday!
