So I promised some retro links since I’ve been so bad this summer with my blog. And now it’s fall and I’m still bad. Maybe by winter I’ll be catching up on fall…
Chicken Little’s birthday is in mid-August which is pretty much the only guaranteed warm weather here in Seattle. We celebrated by inviting his neighborhood friends over for a water party, with water balloons, soaker guns, an astro arch and double slip and slide for races.
To make things even more special this year my parents happened to be driving from AK to AZ and stopped in just in time and my husband’s mom was able to come up from Shelton for the party. What more could you ask for on your fifth birthday?
Here is the astro arch raining on the double slip and slide to make it as fast as possible.
Setting up the pinata - the “safer” pinata. I didn’t realize I had gotten one but they now make pinatas with ribbons hanging down. Each child pulls a ribbon and only one ribbon opens the trap door to release the candy. While we were all involved in water balloon warfare Toddler snuck over and pulled every single string save one. And wouldn’t you know, that last string was the money string. If that’s not Murphy’s Law in action I don’t know what is.
Uncanny how all three of them look exactly alike, isn’t it? Chicken Little’s final proof that he really IS the batman.
Toddler’s first tootsie pop (or any candy actually) in the loving arms of Grandma. The perfect ending to a napless day.
