Nathan's birthday

For Nathan's birthday, he wanted to go to the Dino Museum (of course). So we brought 3 of his friends--5 little boys and Katie and I. Their mothers told them to be good and I squeezed them all in the car and we were off. Keeping 5 little boys together when they're excited is hard, and keeping them from having "potty mouths" is even harder. What is it about little boys and potty mouths??

I thought it was funny--one of the boys kept calling me "Kristie Carlos-son" --Like the name "Carlos" with a -son at the end. "Look, Kristie Carlos-son!" He also said about 3 times, "The dinos lived FIFTY YEARS ago!" (I thought I saw a T-rex in the background of my dad's baby pictures!) After we went through the Dino Museum, I asked who wanted to go through again. All their little boy hands went up in the air--"ME!!" We went through 2 times and had ice cream sundaes.



(Katherine got burned on her arm a little from the lighter when I was holding her lighting candles, poor girl:()

For dinner Nathan chose salmon-the-fishy with peach sauce, broccoli with broccoli sauce, baked potatoes, white cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate ice cream.

My doing:

(yes, that's a match for a candle)

After baking the cake, I found this small bolt in the bottom of it when I was frosting it. I guess one of the machines making the cake mix broke! Good thing no one ate the bolt:
