This dapper dude is 10 years old today! He's not usually wearing a suit and fedora, but this is a "Smooth Criminal" costume he got as a birthday present, and he didn't take it off all day. Barrett loves all things Michael Jackson - I'm not sure if I've told you the origin story yet. His art teacher plays Michael Jackson music during art class, and Barrett latched onto the music quickly. He's a huge fan now, and badly wanted a "Smooth Criminal" costume. I also got him some Michael Jackson miniature figurines - 5 of them in various poses, and he was so excited to see them!
For his party birthday yesterday, the weather cooperated and we had a fantastic pool party! The theme was "Harry Potter" and I totally ran with it. Barrett and I are halfway through the 4th book, so I focused on vignettes of Snape's potions laboratory, the owl post, the goblet of fire, envelopes coming out of the fireplace, and finally, Honeydukes, which was set up with tons of Harry Potter-named candy for self-help goody bags. The kids were sugared up and crazy, and all must have fallen asleep hard last night because they never stopped swimming and jumping for the entire party.
