Today is a day for Harry Potter things. I did some cooking on and off today, as well as assembling a spider PB & J sandwich for the six-year old.
We had magic wands.
And chocolate frogs.
As well as pumpkin pasties and polyjuice potion. It was a fun day for making an array of different foods.
 

Tried grapefruit this morning...he wasn't impressed.
 

Instead of asking to play Minecraft, he asked to play Clue Jr again. I'm super excited for variety and not arguing about trying different things in the evening.
 

Today is the cat's 13th birthday. He is a good sport about the party hat every year.
 

We played our first round of Clue Jr tonight. He really enjoyed it.
 

I put another shelf into the 6 year old's closet. This will be a good spot for all of his board games, now that he's getting old enough to start enjoying them more.
 

During a conference call I looked over and found this in my pen holder. Sometimes my husband is so silly, which I love.

I logged in and played a bit of Guild Wars 2, which I haven't done for ages. I have so much junk in my inventory I spent at least 30 minutes organizing things trying to figure out if stuff was worth keeping or not.
 

We spent some time outside enjoying the sunshine together. I think he had a lot more fun than I did.
 

He spent a chunk of the day building one of his gifts - a LEGO Minecraft pig house.

Today is a full day of birthday festivities. A scavenger hunt and delicious pancakes.
Fun in Animal Crossing, celebrating with villagers on his island.
And opening presents with Grandma Karath....
...as well as Grandma and Grandpa Oslund and uncle Jeff.
Even the cat joined the celebrations when it was time for cake!
 

We filled up a few balloons with water and food coloring and then let them freeze overnight. The result is a fun little ice globe!
