Okay; maybe this drummer boy is not so little anymore. In fact, he just turned 7 years old today.
Hayden isn't the only musical kid in the family. Jacob also has taken an early interest, as you can see him playing the drums on his first b-day.He has since moved on to dance, probably due to the fact that his aunt is a dancer. He and his cousin actually took lessons this summer, not long after shooting this YouTube video at Matthew's parent's house (he was self-taught at the time; ha ha).
It has been a busy weekend, as both his cousins spent the night on Friday. Then, they all attended swimming lessons the next morning.
Today will be even more hectic, starting with a birthday celebration/annual gingerbread house building get-together at my mom's house, followed by another party with Matthew's side of the family.
This year, I have to admit that I won't be constructing another raw house, but here is the original in hopes that it will inspire you. It already got my bloggin' friend Bitt in the spirit. Check out her creation.I did have time to run some popsicles up to Jacob's school for his big day (usually it is cake or cupcakes, but he wanted to be different this year; a little cold, but different), and at home, I put together this pineapple pop to look like Spongebob in his honor.
It was quite simple, especially after making this chocolate orange. I just used more chocolate to glue the banana, apple and blueberry pieces onto a fresh pineapple slab, and a little bit more to finish off the details. The whole thing was served on a stick. So cute, don't you think?
My son's kind of cute, too, if you ask me (he's the one popping his head in through the background). Happy birthday Jacob!
