My Birthday Weekend

Trevor, Lori, Kayla & Jakob arrived on Friday for a sleepover. We had chocolate birthday cake (with only three candles bc I'm still in my 30's ... can't put 38 candles on a cake without the risk of setting off the smoke alarm).

We tried to have a bonfire after supper but as soon as we got the fire going, it started to rain. And it then it POURED. So, the kids opted to play POKER. Yes, I'm a great influence - I have taught my five-year-old niece and three-year-old nephew to play a slightly modified version of Texas Hold'em.



I think Jakob needs to work on his 'Poker Face' ...



On Saturday we went to the market, where Kayla & Jakob had their faces painted.



After lunch, my parents and Chance arrived for a visit. Chance has grown a lot in the past month. We had him on Poncho's long rope - while we weren't paying attention to him, he dug a hole in my garden. White puppy + black earth = big mess. A cute mess though.
