Dominique’s Birthday

Yesterday was Dominique’s eighth birthday!

Keeping with our family tradition of having presents all set up on the table for the birthday child to discover upon awaking, Sunday morning was no exception. To Dominique’s delight the table was laden with shimmering packages. Having a birthday in February I was able to take advantage of some substantial savings (75% off isn’t bad) from after Christmas clearance sales.

The birthday child always chooses the menu of the day. He decided on Fruit-loops for breakfast (a special treat around here), pigs in a blanket and butterscotch brownies for lunch and homemade pizza for dinner. At his request, Lydia made a delicious Mud Pie.

All the little boys were delighted with their brother’s presents. When you have so many brothers it’s almost like having several birthdays a year!

Today, the children were so happy to have their big brother Gabriel, who is home for spring break from Michigan, to share the joy of blasting Dominique’s new rockets. Thanks to his generous godparents, Dominique and his brothers and sister, in addition to a few unusual spectators, had a blast this afternoon shooting these amazing air rockets.

Happy Belated Birthday, Dominique! My ds7 received the same rockets for his birthday. They amazed me how high they can shoot into the sky! Have fun!

I popped on to your site last week from another Real Learning site and saw the photo of your son using the lunch tray to sort toys. I wanted to thank you for the great idea. We received one of those trays as a gift. It really is much to large for serving food to a three year old. I am now using it to sort crayons and other art materials that we are using each day. Thanks for the photo inspiration.
