A Knightly 6 year old

Our Blaine Jackson turned 6 Thursday, June 19! He was very excited at the beginning of the week, telling me Sunday that he would soon be more than 1 hand. He would be one hand plus 1! Since he knows his days of the week, he told us every day how many days until his birthday. Wednesday night as we tucked him in he said "see you tomorrow, a special day." A special day indeed. Blaine is such a fun kid. He's high spirited, hilarious, happy and very creative. He maintained a future profession of a pirate for a very long time but something happened around the start of Spring and he decided a career as a knight would be more fun, with Gracelyn as his princess (which she gladly accepted.) He has been asking for a knight costume since. Blaine likes school but not necessarily for the academics, he enjoys the kids. He certainly isn't an introvert.
In keeping with his current profession goal, he wanted a knight themed birthday. The medieval times are so not my area so google and my husband were huge helps. It was so hot but a lot of fun. The kids played with swords shields and wore knight masks, swam and ate. What could be better?
