Crafty bastard

I'm not a crafty bastard but every so often I give do-it-yourself a whirl with predictable results - by which I mean, predictably sad. Sometimes, though, I surprise myself. 

Look! Sweet, colorful balloons and bears for our T-Bear. 

Esme and I slapped high fives when the party decorations went up and I twirled the last ribbon. I walked by several times before the party and thought, "Goddamn that's cute. Martha Stewart might even give it a thumbs-up. "

Then, a party guest walked past the wall and asked casually: "Did Esme do that?" Esme. The 6-year-old! Maybe I won't share the photos with Martha.

I think they were just pointing out how talented Esme is. But that would sting if I heard that.

Look how proud and happy T is! I think that says it all. Birthday boy is thrilled.
