Nieem's Mad Scientist Birthday Party!

So Nieem turned NINE this weekend. These kids, with the growing.... I am pretty much done with it and okay to freeze time right around now. Nobody needs to move into the double digits, ever. Although that would put a halt to the amazing birthday parties, so I am not sure how he would feel about this plan... (plus he might want to drive someday..)

Anyway, NIEEM IS NINE.  And he had an insanely awesome Mad Scientist Birthday party to celebrate.

Birthday boy, looking pretty mad scientist-ish


Actually there was an entire group of mad scientists at this party... all with lab coats and safety goggles, because Nicole is awesome and knows how go all out on a birthday theme

I mean, this party had experiments!

Really, really cool experiments!

Some of which got a touch out of control.

There was building of molecular models...

And smoking beakers...

Oh, and this extremely impressive brain cake... how can you go wrong with brain cake?

Oh, and we were there too!

 and Henry of course... he thoroughly enjoyed himself. How could he not?

Happy Birthday Nieem!  We love you, kiddo.
