Benjamin did his transportation report on the DWOK quite a fighting weapon of the second world war. He conceived the design building the body from paper towel rolls and the wings, etc. from toilet paper rolls. Here he poses with his creation

Before we knew it, it was my birthday. Josephine cooked dinner and insisted that it was Mexican night. The kids got me Sponge Bob Square Pants, my favorite! So, it was quite jolly when the candles were lit the decorations were set (with the traffic light installed!) and Jane, Suzanne, John Byers, Benjamin, and Meredith each sang a different song to the birthday boy as he huffed and puffed and blew out all of the candles which is no mean feat at this age.

The next day, Benjamin wasn't feeling well and so stayed home from school. On the way to taking him to Rider to hang out with Suzanne in the afternoon, we paused at the Lawrenceville post office for the obligatory phone booth picture and then I dropped him off with Suzanne for the afternoon though it took 2 pictures to do the transition.

Next thing we knew it was time to set the tables

for Jane's birthday even though this created a massive mess in the kitchen and a darkness that was broken when Jane, Daniel, Kaylen and Lucy went downstairs to write messages on the mini-whiteboard. All of this activity blurred Daniel Suo but he came into focus as the darkened Justin Huang had him play a piano piece with 4 hands which didn't light up Justin but got Jane, Lucy and Kaylen watching as was Justin so that Jane made a face and Benjamin moved across the floor. A Nike swatch was seen in the picture to accompany the action on the PS2. Everyone watched as Benjamin played vs. Jane These crowd scenes

seem to tell the story until the party adjourned to the dining room.

!! get all of their names !!
