Marion's Miscellaneous Musings

Laurie planned a big birthday bash, forgot to put details on the invitations (like, you are all invited for dinner, so now we have 32 hot dogs and buns that need to be eaten, because she also wanted chicken), but people came with kids that wanted to play with water (this is why I love summer birthdays -- you can send the kids outside with water and they occupy themselves for hours and all you have to do is make sure they don't drown) and someone who is gluten intolerant made the right kind of cupcakes.

Lindsey acquired toys, books and clothes. Connie gave him the penguin, which he appears to like. We gave him a couple of books. We passed up "Walter the Farting Dog" (among other things, Uncle William tended to stand next to Walter and pretend the smell didn't come from himself). He (Lindsey, that is) watched his dad blow out a candle (it really is lit in the picture, you just have to look at the flaw in Lindsey's shoulder) ate a cupcake, frosting first, and ate grown up food (chicken, bananas and crackers) and spent a lot of energy crawling out of sight.
