Happy Birthday in the house


So now it's June. School is out, Grandmama is here, the garden is officially going, the kids are eating us out of house and home, and we've already been to the pool three times. What else is happening? A little of this:




And a little of that:


And once again we have a six year old in the house!

Damon Sebastian turned six yesterday, to his great delight. He got a box chock full of stuff from Grandmama and PaPa that he dove into before church, had cake at lunchtime, and did more presents in the evening. 






Yes, that would be Darth Maul with a Twizzler for a light saber, thank you very much.

And presents. He got Operation and a robotic turtle game, along with a movie and a coloring book, and the aforementioned box from his grandparents.



And then, as Mr. Stanford says, "last one best one!" Dada waited until Damon was in the bathtub to unleash the final present:



This picture is hilarious because she is A) practicing her Grinch smile and B) has a light pretending to be a halo behind her!

Back to the birthday boy's face when told he had another gift:


"Close your eyes and hold out your hands!"

And Dada nailed him:


And then he figured out what to do with it:


And then first thing this morning he comes down in full swim gear, locked and loaded with his gun, and is squirting Liam out front, who is fending off the spray with two umbrellas. 

Happy birthday, buddy. So glad you're part of our crazy family. None of us can believe you are SIX.
