On Friday night, he and his mom had a very fancy date. He ate pizza with MANY jalapenos, and proclaimed his love for it as he gasped for air.
(feeling a little adolescent-y)
He and his mom followed it up with a very modest and dainty desert.
They exhibited their highly refined table manners by scarfing this down in two minutes flat, sword fighting with their forks and barely stopping for air.
Then it was off to brother Ben's performance. In this year's play, A MidSummer Night's Dream, he is a techy. That's right...Ben was in charge of a machine with many buttons that controls the lights. He is pretty sure this is his new calling.
And, after seeing the play, we have to agree...his timing was flawless and the lighting was fantastic!
The next morning, the boy's entire family got up and braved the 50 degree temps for a round of golf so he could try out his new birthday golf clubs. They worked.
Then his dad whisked him off to yet another amazing lights display by brother Ben and the theater troupe.
Back home, mom was getting everything ready for the big birthday dinner. The boy requested fettucini alfredo(with chicken and sundried tomatoes)and birthday cake for his special feast. He is a total health freak. His mom was a little frazzled in the kitchen, what with a guest list half full of vegetarians, one-quarter full of picky kids and one-sixteenth full of someone with nut allergies. Such moments cause her to start giving orders while she counts on her fingers. The boy avoided the kitchen at all costs.
The feast was attended by most of the boy's important dignitaries: Grandma Joan, Eileen, Uncle Matt, Aunt Erin and Uncle Bob, and of course MomDadTheoBen.
It was a grand feast and it was followed by a slightly lopsided but full-of-love green birthday cake. Yum.
And Sunday was spent recovering.
The end.
