Luke had originally wanted his party with the cousins while we were visiting them. There was a brief respite in the sickness and the guys were back from the race track, so we took the opportunity to sing to him the worst rendition of Happy Birthday that I ever heard, dole out enormous pieces of cake and give him shoes he was dying to have, but didn't fit and the receipt was lost. Oh well!, not every birthday goes as planned. This is the kid that Nate sometimes wants to strangle for all the noise he makes, the other boys want to just once be allowed to flatten him for all the noise he makes, and his mother just wants to keep him just as he is. I get so much joy from this kid. Just as I was loading pictures I heard him talking to Roxie: "Will you marry me girl?" "What!!" "You will?" Really girl?" "Hey mom, she said yes" "Everybody! SHE SAID YES!!!" as I hear him racing through the house to share the happy news with all.

It was the worst rendition of Happy Birthday that I have ever heard too, but I thought it might have been because I was sick.
It was a really good cake! And Luke is a hoot. I've never wanted to strangle him or flatten him. I have been known to shush him, though. He's more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
