Strange Sea Creatures on My Son's Birthday Cake...

We gathered this afternoon to celebrate the 7th birthday of our youngest son, Kekoa.

And as it is with 7 year old boys everywhere in America, the party begins with SpongeBob Squarepants...



SpongeBob is the yellowish figure on the right side of the cake above.

Apparently, SpongeBob is a sea sponge. But unlike most sea sponges, he is square like the sponge used in the kitchen sink, which really doesn't look anything like a sea sponge.

Kekoa also tells me that SpongeBob "lives in a pineapple under the sea."

Logistically, I can tell you now that this would be very difficult. Growing up in Hawaii, I've seen pineapples that fall in the ocean. After about fifteen minutes, they're really mushy and well, it's just not something you'd want to live in.

Then again, this SpongeBob found himself knee deep in frosting on my son's cake...



After writing that last sentence, I couldn't help but wonder if SpongeBob actually has any knees. If not, could we really say he was knee deep in anything?

Anyway, here are all the kids gathering for the standard Bicoy birthday picture...



Kekoa really wanted a sword for his birthday so he could battle imaginary dragons and save damsels in distress in our front yard...



And if that weren't enough, he wanted a couple of video games...



...like "Zelda" so he could battle virtual dragons and rescue damsels in distress in a video game.


My, how times have changes since we were kids.

Then again, some things aren't all that different...



It appears that I'm not the only one who takes lots of pictures and insists on posting them on the internet for friends and family!
