happy birthday, long!

today is lan's younger son's 10th bday. he's super cute, very loud, and absolutely endearing! long also loves his nerf dart gun, so it was only appropriate that he got his own set of jerseys! here they are in production:and here is the final product! hehe, bunks insisted on being in the picture and was licking the painted letters.

now the boys needed something at which to aim their dart guns (since mom banned aiming at each other). they've been wanting a real dart board, but seeing as those little needles are kinda dangerous, how about a nerf dart board?!? i made them one from a dry erase wipe board with black outdoor acrylic paint and a black sharpie. sadly, i ran out of wrapping paper (ok, i admit, i've never owned any wrapping paper that wasn't holiday-themed and i use the "running out" story as an excuse every time!!!). actually, i ran out of enough of one roll of paper and thus could only wrap the dartboard in random scraps of christmas paper. hehe. the front:

sorry ryan and long! hehehe. and around back:

long and i both share a love of chocolate, so i made him my favorite dessert ever: cheesecake brownies!!!

dear friends: please try not to have children with birthdays so close together! mmmkay thanks!
