Super 7

Today is Hayden's 7th birthday and he is stoked beyond words. This past weekend was all about celebrating his big day (pics to follow soon) and today has been no different.

His morning began with homemade pancakes that tasted absolutely TERRIBLE. (That's what I get for picking the recipe with the least number of ingredients.) I mean, they were really, really gross. So we threw those away and had good 'ole Bisquick stand-byes...with chocolate chips, of course.

Catastrophe diverted.











He couldn't understand why I had the radio playing so loudly while I was making breakfast until I told him to listen closely to what the announcer was saying. When he heard his name spoken over the radio he was hesitant. Then when he heard that "Hayden's" dad was out of town and wanted this little boy who loves to play piano and is in to Tae Kwon Do to have great birthday, hesitation quickly morphed into complete elation.



















So far the rest of the day that has included vacation bible school, Chik-Fil-A, and swimming, hasn't held a candle to this morning's surprise. Maybe things will improve later.
