Okay so I don't think we really celebrated his birthday for 7 days but it was probably pretty close.
My little man turned 6 this year!
We decided to celebrate with a LEGO party.
I must have been drinking when I made up the guest list.
We invited 20 kids, 17 of them actually came.........
Once I realized that, we looked at the weather forcast.
RAIN
OH CRAP!
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH 20 KIDS IN MY BASEMENT?????
It was noon the day of the party. It started to rain, and then poor, the power
flickered. I told the kids we needed to pray.
So we did. We said thanks for the rain, but would appreciate it
if it could stop around 4 pm.
(the storm wasn't supposed to end until 6)
At 3:00 the sun came out and dried up all the land!
I couldn't believe it!
The party went on.
We began with a race car building activity.
We teamed up because of the large number of BOYS in attendance.
We rigged up this fancy ramp and raced.
Presents
The best grandpa in the world set up an archery station.
(Just one more reason I was probably intoxicated while planning this party)
THANKS GRANDPA PA PA PA
Cupcakes, thank heaven these were not consumed in my house!
(the lego guys were really fun to make)
Zack and Maggie our next door dog.
Celebration #2 (Mothers Day)
I did a photo collage of Ruby when she turned 1, i'm sure nobody else cares
but I really love looking at how my kids have grown and changed over the years.
This wall has become the shrine as it housed photos of Emily for her farewell
up until I put these up.
Cute cousins
"Ninja training, keep out"
This party was almost pointless because there was only 1 person there
that wasn't there at the other birthday party. Since it was Mothers Day we invited
our neighbor and her boys as well (they were all at the other party)
Who doesn't like to party though?
ROLLER BLADES!
Grandma Rita always sends an explosion with her gifts.
Rubber legs, still getting used to the roller blades.
My favorite Zack quote on his b-day while getting a haircut
How old are you?
Zack: "I think i'm 6?"
Me: (laughing) "you are 6 silly, it's your birthday"
