We have an 8-year-old

Today, March 10, 2008 is Justin's 8th birthday. We have had a good day celebrating with him. The school allows parents to bring in a party during the afternoon, so we took full advantage of that! Justin was happy to bring our American traditions to the Slovak children (and one Korean). The Betty Crocker cake mix turned out good enough and the Ready-to-spread frosting made my job easier by far. Five bags of microwave popcorn and some Coca-cola made for enough snacks - and we brought treat bags - something that is not a party tradition here. Those were a hit. We also played musical chairs and a ring toss game.

Here's a little clip of Justin's classmates singing Happy Birthday - I wasn't able to get the entire song 'cuz they started before I was ready!
