Preparations, preparations ...

Green balloons being inflated and streamers being hung all over the place

Neil drawing and cutting out paper dragons late at night


Blue having to endure garlands being tied to his climbing post (and yes, I am waiting for the day he falls out in his sleep, half hanging over the edge as he is!)

Sufficiently rested, Blue deciding to help make a pull-string pinata

Finn and Lily cooking up scary green dragon soup that would magically turn into jello over night

Two round cakes transforming into a dragon

And a 5-year old covered in green frosting

... can only mean ONE thing: it's PAAAAAAAARTY TIME!!!!!

Actually, it was party time yesterday. We're still recovering, Lenny and Blue especially. Among the five friends Finn invited were the three wildest boys from his preschool class. We waited until the new school year started to have his party, so that everyone he wanted to come could be here. Thankfully the weather was nice so we could play games outside and let them loose in the yard.

Next year we're dropping them off at McDonald's. Just kidding (maybe) :)

I'll post some party pictures soon!
