On the tenth day of Halloween

On the tenth day of Halloween, the Great Pumpkin gave to me:

 One freshly minted 14 (!!) year old.

 Who does everything teenagers are infamous for (and then some),

 Who is now taller than me,

 And who is rapidly gaining on his father too!

Hapde Burfday Jack!

It also gave me:

 THREE parties in one weekend! One at kindergarten, one Halloween themed party at our house with Halloween food (clementine faces courtesy of grant, who thoroughly enjoyed giving them lots of different faces);

 and one birthday party sleepover too.

 Plus! A hot air balloon on the way to the flea, and!

some flea market loot!

Hopefully I can manage to pull off the great pumpkin series this year, but it's looking dodgy at best.
