Somebody Had a Birthday

So this somebody turned 11.

How is that possible?

Per our birthday tradition around this homeschool, we took the day off.

It rained the entire day.

I let the boys play video games most of the day.

It's OK to do that once in a while.

Dwayne's parents took us out to lunch at Burger King.

(In case the crown didn't give that away.)

I made a devil's food cake from frozen duck egg batter.

It turned out fine... I was a little concerned.

I had never frozen cake batter before.

It was Nolan's idea to spread the candles out so Connor

would have a hard time blowing them all out at once.

That's what brothers are for.

(Nolan's plan worked, Connor had to try a second time.)
