Turning 13







It happened. L turned 13. I begged him not to, but he insisted that he didn't have a choice. Luckily, the party made the transition a little more enjoyable for me. The "cake" was a hit. Humorously, the butter pats were the most discussed. (They are made from banana Laughy Taffy.) However, the "pepper" also raised a few eyebrows (colored sugar). L was really the party planner this year. He wanted to play a game of tic-tac-toe using recycled pizza boxes, and the kids love the over-sized game. He also planned the pie-in-the-face gag, and really, what kid hasn't wanted to pie or be pied? The weather was spectacular, which was amazing considering the past week of dust and/or thunder storms.

I can't wait to scrapbook these! I've got to locate a corn on the cob embellishment somehow!
