Seriously?

Seriously? Did they really HAVE to go to all the trouble of doing this for me to take a picture of them? Really I took tons and tons of pictures while my nieces and nephew were hanging out with us. I did! I promise I did! Maybe they missed all of the "smile" and clicking and flashing that was going on around them? Did they really have to do this to get me to take some pictures? And what a great husband I have! He went into the dining room, found what you're about to see and says "grab the camera you're gonna want pictures of this"! He was right.

Here is Summer. Isn't she lovely? She really is adorable...without the frosting!



Olivia demonstrates the God given rights of the birthday girl. I must have missed where it said "birthday child may paint their face with icing as the see fit".


I'm pretty sure Zoe was getting ready for some ritualistic song and dance around a campfire with maraca's and drums. Or she was the ringleader...


Our dear sweet Cool Dude was not going to miss out on this artistic opportunity either. He has learned something in the past five years and knew that I was not going to love this creation.



And here we have a great picture that demonstrates the advances that Tayton has made over the past year with his SI (Sensory Integration) disorder. He generally can't stand to have any kind of messy, sticky, gooey or wet substance on his face/hands. Here you can see how uncomfortable it's making him but he really just wanted to join the fun. I was so proud of his achievement. Maybe next time he can try to show me his progress through finger painting?


Now being that Zachary is now nearly 11 he must have decided he didn't want to hang with the "little kids". This was him with the first cupcake before the others started their make overs....but it's pretty accurate of how he looked after the cupcake masquerade.
