Turning 4...


A little recipe for fun memories and BIG naps:
Mix a little sugar...

A few dozen balloons...
Dart guns...lots of dart guns...
BIG dart guns:
...with some pachinko:
Add a few gallons of water (for the slip 'n slide they received as a gift just before the party!)...

Toss in a bin of balls...

Throw some water balloons at a big person (essential ingredient):

Mingle with lots of little (and big) people friends...

Sprinkle in some itty bitty little people (really, don't these two make being a new-momma-of-THREE-look-easy?

Add a bunch of giggles...
a little fire...

and yield...one BIG nap.
OK, at least half the time! J fell asleep shortly after the party was over...W was too excited about the new birthday gifts.
We had so much fun throwing this birthday party....with a little help from etsy.com with decorating...seriously...how cute is this banner?

Or these treat box labels:

And the boys received some great board games and card games, toys and activities which will be quite useful this winter...how creative is this?

Our friends Julie and Christina created these "not bored anymore" activity boxes FULL of crafts, beads, markers, stickers, etc. LOVE that.
Really really can't believe these little guys are almost four.
