what better way to round out the birthday weekend than with a stop on the donut tour 2K10.

yeah that's the bat symbol on his homemade birthday cake. you can just call me supermom.

kale needed a couple of pointers from uncle dean.

they decorated their own birthday hats.

birthday pirate madness.

goth vampires or just lovers of the frozen blueberry?

underpants over the diaper. what's not to love?

the kids table = the awesome table.

these two do a lot of hand holding in the yard these days (kale has developed a real fear of the neighbor's cat as well as an interest in gardening.)

happy birthday, riley!

he's got five years under his belt and the whole world at his feet. what a poopchick.

apparently, it tasted like salt.

the sun came out in time for easter brunch. good thing we brought the shades.

team spade makes it happen.

but there were eggs to be found in the garden. so that's something.

there were no bunny tracks to be found among the rocks.

we've done the showers now we're eagerly awaiting the flowers.

gram and julie are attacked by a couple of kissey monsters. yuck.

kale is still into analog entertainment.

once riley found out abby had an iphone everyone else was pretty extraneous.

there is a surprising amount of fun to be had on schuyler's bunk bed.

riley thought a little music might help the plants grow.
