Double Digits

Nathan is turning ten tomorrow. As per usual, his birthday party for friends was the weekend before Memorial Day. He decided that he wanted to have dinner and watch “Spiderman,” so planning was pretty easy. He printed all kinds of pictures to hang on the walls, hung up balloons and made white slime to give as spiderwebbing party favors. We had a pretty small group of kids this time, but he had a great time.

Yesterday we celebrated at my parents’ house. Nathan wanted to a Spiderman cake and once again I was grateful for the existence of gel food colors since making red and black frosting takes A LOT of food coloring. I was pleased with how it turned out and Nathan was pretty darn excited.

As is our tradition, we headed to the zoo today. We were joined by Kevin’s parents and his sister Connie and her family. We had a great time.
