Abracadabra! Bippety-boppety-boo! The world of magic has come to our red house.
Today is my second son's tenth birthday and one of his presents is a magic kit. All morning before school and ever since school ended this afternoon, I have been required to be astounded and amazed by a series of magic tricks. Excitement is growing as we anticipate the magic show Master 10 will perform after dinner tonight.
My daughter and youngest son are getting involved too, practising card tricks and discussing costumes. There is whispering in corners, stifled laughter, and suddenly innocent faces when I come near.
The evening meal, as always on birthdays, is chosen by the birthday boy. He asked for home-made macaroni cheese and home-made chocolate ice cream covered in whipped cream from an aerosol can (he insisted!) and strawberries.
I'll add a salad and bread to this repast, then on with the show!

Oh, Happy Birthday to your son, and I love his choice for dinner, especially the home-made ice cream. A magic kit, you have reminded me of wonderful memories. When I was about the same age, my mother gave me a magic kit. I hope that you have a lovely birthday celebration. Ten is such a magical age. Karen
How totally fun! My oldest one year for a talent show at church did some card tricks. She did great.
Happy Birthday to your son. I hope the magic show went off without a hitch. I love his dessert choice. Sounds very yummy.
What a perfect age for magic! And oh, how I love the request for whip cream out of a can. That's great (and great fun, to boot)! Happy birthday to your boy!

My kids like 'spray cream' too. I can't see the charm myself. I hope your young magician had a wonderful birthday.
Hope he had a great day and that you enjoyed your show. I love kids magic shows. They are so much fun. And at least you know they were planning harmless mischief.
*hugs*
