2nd April Birthday - Kaeta

Kaeta's 7th birthday was her best birthday yet! ...or at least that's what we pretended because Amie had to miss it to see her brother George get married. (That'll teach her to leave us alone for a weekend!)



Kaeta had to use Loreli and Henry's help to solve clues to find each of her 7 birthday gifts. (Hey, it kept them all busy for at least an hour. And we all know that when dad babysits that's the goal--keep 'em busy!)


A sub-goal is to make them realize just how cool dad is! (Lets face it, most of us have kids because we had low self-esteem issues and kids make us feel like hometown heroes...until we do something stupid). Look how happy my little 7 year-old is!

I found it funny that within an hour of getting her birthday gifts I found some of them discarded in a toy bin.





The day after Kaeta's birthday we had a big rain storm. The streets flooded within minutes. The cars in the picture are stranded in the center because its the high point.




Of course when the flood water receded, we had to go on an adventure walk to the park to see the damage. (Again...remember gotta keep them busy.)
