Happy Mother's Day!
Last week was Osric's 7th birthday -- we celebrated on Sunday, so that way we could all be home for it. The weather up until today has been lovely, with temps in the mid- to high-70s, just beautiful sunshine and warmth.
 |
| Oz was extremely excited for his presents |
 |
| Corwin got him a Hot Wheels creepy bat manor thing. |
 |
| Saffron got him a Pokemon handbook -- this has gotten a ton of use in the last week. |
 |
| Lego shark set -- this one comes with three different sets of instructions; one for a shark, one for an angler fish, and one for a giant squid. So far he hasn't made the shark yet, but he's done the other two creatures, which came out very cool. |
 |
| He was very excited over this set too -- especially for the dinosaur with the laser guns! |
 |
| This is a book full of experiments and explanations relating to physics and chemistry, etc. -- we had picked it up from the library once and he really liked it. |
 |
| He has been begging for these yeti action figures for months; unfortunately, the manufacturer no longer makes them, so we had to pick some up off of ebay. The sets are pretty cool -- this one features a "yeti" trap, which works like a bear trap. |
 |
| And now he has a gameboy, like his siblings -- they've been having a good time playing together on these. |
 |
| The first thing he did afterwards was get out all of his yeti guys, and his snow castle, and have a big battle. |
 |
| Osric and I worked together to make a cake and cookies, and decorate them both. |
 |
| It was pretty simple chocolate cake with blueberry filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. The cookies are basic sugar cookies with flood icing. |
 |
| In my opinion, one of the best things this Lego set that Osric got is that every single one of the characters can hold the coffee mug -- including the dinosaur! |
