A new era, this first born of mine enters double digits. Benjamin turned 10 a couple of weeks ago. His pre birthday week started with a weekend visit from his uncle. A fun weekend , shooting with Elijah's new NERF gun. My brother, Benjamin and Elijah equally had no more target left in the house. They even made use of David's magic sand as a wall to shoot down.
Since, the day of his birthday, their school had a " studiemiddag " (free afternoon as the teachers had a course to attend), he spend the afternoon at a friends as I had to work.
In the evening , we ordered KFC take away and had a lovely finger lickin' time.
During the weekend , we celebrated his school friends party at the movies. A Dutch kids movie "Spookjagers" and pizza for dinner. This year he requested a Minecraft cake and I barely managed to make one that resembled something like it. Those million tiny squares are not easy at all! Nevertheless, Benjamin was happy (perhaps he didn't want to break his poor mother's heart). True to his personality, a sensitive and caring boy. May you grow into a strong man , filled with compassion, love , and kindness .
