H A L T , he's eight

I think we have a new rule in our house. Birthday parties with friends every O T H E R year.

We decided to let Coleman have his birthday party at home this year and it was pure craziness!

All he wanted was a pizza party at home with movies and his friends.

It was a beautiful evening weather wise outside and nearly impossible to get so many kids to sit and watch a movie.

Oh well, it's over! He's EIGHT!

I took {red velvet} cupcakes to his classroom, which was great. Fun to hear them sing Happy Birthday to him in German. Below is a quick clip at the end of their singing.

They're asking him: are you one, are you two, are you three... and he has to stop them, or yell halt- in German. I think the quick sound byte of his teacher at the end is funny. He's the typical, no-nonsense German Herr.
