Princess Garden Party
I look forward to birthdays at least 4 months in advance. This year for Natalie's 4th birthday we had a Princess Garden Party (just our family and Grandma Toone). Because it was one of the hottest days of the year, we played our games inside: kiss the frog, pass the poisoned apple, and musical chairs. After each game the kids were able to fish for a prize at the fish pond. We had a nice dinner of heart-shaped ham sandwiches, veggies and dip, and fruit kabobs, and butterfly cake (Natalie had so much fun helping me decorate it) and ice cream for dessert. Natalie loved the whole day.
Super-Hero Training Camp
Thomas turned 5 years old on Friday and he is already saving the world! After attending super-hero camp he can:
- Detonate bombs (pop balloons)
- Save children and animals in trouble (obstacle course in our backyard)
- Carefully pick-up and properly dispose of Kryptonite (pick up green painted blocks and put into a cooler)
- Chase and shoot down villains with a gun (silly string gun that is, and Jared was the evil villain sent to destroy the birthday fun)
It was a fun week although the twins got some type of stomach bug which completely floored them. They are doing better now although they are still very tired and grumpy.
