Birthday Boy

My boy is about to turn 8! And so it was my maternal duty to throw him a party (or two, after tomorrow's family one).

We went simple: a pool party at the YMCA, a little juice and snacks, cupcakes, and those little Dover thrift books as party favors. It was fun, and just about right. I don't always have to work my fingers to the bones to make it fancy - the kids really have pretty simple tastes.
