I made mini brownie cupcakes for Caden's class at school to enjoy at snack time. They do not let parents come in and bring the snacks but we can send them in or drop them off. The other down side is that I couldn't even have lunch with him that day because they do not allow parents to come in for lunch until after labor day. :(
Caden had the choice of what he wanted to do that evening and for my child who really doesn't like "meals" only snacks... I knew that the menu or place to eat wouldn't excite him but worry him because he wouldn't know what we would make him eat :) He wanted to stay home and eat and he wanted Macaroni and Cheese. Well, that is simple enough so we did that and we had a shrimp boil for the adults!! It was a win win for all of us!
Caden also planned out how he wanted to get his presents... he wanted us to hide them around the house and he would look for them. Not sure why he came up with this but we did it and it was fun...maybe a new tradition. We did make it a little more "educational" than he would have liked but he went along with it. We had written clues on each gift that he had to read to find the next gift. That was what he wasn't as excited about.... the reading! Blake was a good sport but it is still hard on him that Caden was getting all the presents and attention. You could tell he kept waiting for one of the hidden gifts to be his :(
Here he is getting his first clue...
This clue was hard and I didn't even get it the first time I read it. Jason thought the boys would but they had to have another hint as well... Love his look of "thinking" here :)
He had waited and waited for his first Ninjago set.... this Lego set is one I ended up being very thankful daddy helped with!
Don't judge my very elementary attempt at a cookie cake.... I don't really attempt to be fancy or pretty (even though it would be nice if it came naturally) but regardless it tasted good :) and Caden likes simple!
I think it was a good day! Happy 7th Birthday Caden!
