Kids Birthday Party

The party was a success! There were 18 wild indians, I mean children (including Gavin and Dylan). All from preschool and Salem Crossroads Daycare. Nora and Thomas were happy to share their big day with a good friend. I think that the turnout was high because it was shared party which was really nice too to have so many friends. Nora and the other girls wore fairy wings for the party and wands to take home. The boys had pirate hats, hooks and eye patches. This was all in the theme of Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and Captain Hook.
Hilarious...Dylan and Nora "riding" the roller coaster ride. Arms up, Whoa!

Daredevil Dylan must have jumped in the ball pit (a.k.a. the hot tub according to Daddy) 50 times! He would jump in like a cannonball and like it was a pool. He also wore his hat ALL DAY!

Train ride!
I think that the cupcakes were a hit. Thank you Christa Stoves, Thomas' Mom, for dreaming with a little pixie dust. The girls had pink petal cakes with center green cakes. Flowers and Tinkerbell were on each one. The boys had blue and brown cakes with skulls, pirates and a ship. As you can see, the green icing was a little tenacious.

Now, don't get me wrong - we were all exhausted by the time we got home. Even me and I didn't have to cook or cleanup (only a little). The kids and I took a nice long nap. After nap, we opened Nora's presents. It was quite the take! She was thrilled. We had a really nice evening, early bath and movie night. Thought Dylan might join in for movie night too, but despite his nap he went to bed on time.

Lots of October pics!
