Yesterday was Todd's 10th birthday. I'm feeling really, really, REALLY old now. Ok, maybe only moderately old. He chose tacos for supper and red velvet cupcakes for his dessert.
We decided to let him open gifts on Saturday. Here he is with a Star Wars: Clone Wars t-shirt. I wish I could've found a short-sleeved one because it's starting to warm up here. But he still wears it, warm or not. He even wore it today on his birthday trip with my parents and it's supposed to be in the 70's.
This is a Bakugan set he's been BEGGING for. Maybe not this specific set, but just Bakugan in general. He has several others. They're actually kinda cool. They're small and easily hidden in pockets so I have to do a pat down before he goes to church or scouts because he'll sneak them wherever we go.
Another of his favorites----BIONICLE. This is from Maw Maw and Paw Paw. I had no idea how long it could take to put one of these things together. He has others but they were second-hand and already put together. Todd put the 'man' together in about 20 minutes. Ian helped him with the spaceship yesterday. They finally emerged from the bedroom about 3 hours later. Whew! Better dad than me!My parents gave Todd a really cute card that puts turning 10 into perspective very nicely. He thought it was funny so I thought I'd share it here.
10 Great New Things You Can Do As a Ten-Year-Old:
1. Eat ten pieces of cake. (One for each year, right?)
2. Brag about blowing out ten candles. (Nine is, like, for amateurs.)
3. Count your age using all of your fingers. (That pinky's been waiting for this day.)
4. Say "Oh, oops, that was SO nine of me." (Especially fun around younger kids.)
5. Kiss those single-digit days good-bye. (Hasta la vista, little numeros!)
6. Remind everyone you're only six years away from a driver's license. (Is there a speed limit for growing up?)
7. . . . and only one "e" away from being a TEEN. (TeEN! See?)
8. Have everyone address you as "Your X-cellence." (A Roman numeral you can actually use.)
9. Celebrate being a decade old. (The best thing that happened to the nineties was ME!)
10. And finally . . . enjoy being a perfect ten! (Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.)
Ok, so NOW I'm feeling really, really, REALLY old again. ;o)

Bionicles...I've always given them to my nephew, but now the possibility of them being around my house is very real. :O At least they probably stay together better than all the Polly Pocket accessories. Those shoes are so darn small. :)
Three hours wow...they were workin on that thing when I was on the phone with you. I love the card. Hope they have fun with maw maw today!!
P.S. Aren't you proud of me. I didn't cry this time!! :P
Yes, very proud. LOL! ;o)
Ok your're not that old either. I just hard with the first one. Cute pictures. Jared's son takes his bionicles apart and makes all sorts of things with them. Ours are either all together or all over the place.
