Family birthday

Finally, the kid got some presents. The RC helicopter he's been talking about since before Christmas, some übercool Überstix for really tall buildings, fun books, Moon shoes.... He also got a couple of science projects that we're forcing him to wait on. (You can't just go building a volcano on the dining room table without some advance planning!) And the crystal-growing set will be great for tomorrow when the post-visitor letdown sets in. All his grandparents, his uncle and his cousin left today, and there's no school tomorrow, so it's going to be a slow day.
