On January 31st was Griffin's 10th birthday (wasn't he already 10?) He had a great time opening presents and playing with them. A few days later he had a few friends over for a late night party. We played minute to win it games and then I sat down and let 4 10 year old boys run through my house. Along with Miles, Caleigh, and Elliot. Mayhem ensued but good fun was had by all.
The hit of the party was glow in the dark wall ball in our living room! Our front room is two stories high and the boys made good use of it playing wall ball. Even Mike got in on the action.
These pictures were taken on a different day. Griffin did not wear his pj's to his party.
Griffin is an old soul. He loves Niel Diamond (thanks to Mike), documentaries, keeping the peace in our crazy house, and in general being very wise beyond his years.
On the flip side he is a very typical 10 year old boy, he loves any and all sports, he's usually found glued to his ipod (a birthday gift), and he is very involved in scouts right now.
Griff is a very self motivated kid that loves to learn. He has about 10 notebooks right now that are for different subjects. When he learns something new he writes about it in one of his notebooks. What kid does that?
According to Griffin-
His main loves are: school, sports, writing, reading, drawing, his ipod, especially his ipod, his family, scouts, and his rat, Crumbs or "Crumb-os"
He's not a fan of: girls, (but he like's the "ladies" don't ask) haircuts, cheezy 70's movies, low battery on his ipod, the color orange "it's scary", mushrooms, and annoying alarm clocks.
I'm in awe of this amazing kid. I admire his confidence, his talents, and his humor. We especially love his funny expressions. I'm pretty sure he practices them in the mirror (though I don't have proof).
Happy Birthday Griff!
