1. One of his guests brought, as a gift, the biggest vat of bubble gum I've EVER SEEN. What parent gives that as a gift to a little kid? (Answer: fun people, which I am obviously not) We'll be working on that sucker for YEARS.
2. Elijah wanted waffles--NOT A CAKE--for the party. I now have confirmation that Elijah is one of the "cool kids" because if I had done that as a kid, it would have come off as dorky. Elijah, on the other hand, had all the other kids saying that they wanted waffles for their birthdays, too.
In other news, today was Ethan's big day at the city council meeting:
Ethan was knighted for his awesome good deed of turning in the money he found on the street. The funny part was when a random cop at the meeting started teasing Ethan...who had NO idea how to take it (cops don't have a sense of humor, right?). The cop finally took pity and stopped, and gave Ethan a cool little pseudo-gold coin with the department's logo on it. Ethan warmed up fast, after that. But back on track...here's Ethan with his Major Award:
It's the Logan city ??seal??? I think he was a little disappointed that he didn't get to give an acceptance speech (the kid LOVES testimony meeting), but also relieved that there wasn't a ginormous crowd.
True to form, Elijah was NOT happy that Ethan was getting so much attention, which led to...THIS:
No comment. At least for now...
Thanks for posting today. It's been a crappy day and this helped. But where's Gabriel?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE waffles. This is such a coincidence--I was just thinking about having a pancake breakfast party for Macey's birthday. I doubt she would go for it, but I love pancakes.
What is that on Elijah's face?
That thing with Ethan and the city council is really cool.
And finally, who is the Asian leaving comments on your blog?
It is Jawbreaker powder. The JB is in the bag. In the Alfred house our 420 is giant hard candy, not herbal alternatives!
ReplyDeleteOur 420 usually involves sugar, too, what with that whole pesky word of wisdom and all. I also celebrate 420 a.m.
ReplyDeleteOK, I have to plead ignorance. What the heck is a 420?
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I remember now. :-) Elise's 4:20 AM was the tip off. I also celebrate 12:15 AM (chocolate cake) and 3:20 AM (oreos) with a little 5:30 PM (a pre-dinner nutella waffle). That's not against the WoW, right? :-)
