David is Turning Six!

David had a Lego birthday party today. I followed my wise mother's advice and invited only one friend per year alive = 6 friends. That was great advice and very manageable. We had a Lego hunt, A Lego Toss, A Lego Pinata and A Lego Build with candy Lego Blox. The pinata and cake were homemade--- or should I say, homely. Come on, I am the first to admit I don't have talents in the arts.....for further evidence check out the cake. Cakes are harder than they look--you need skills (and fondant--I found out the hard way) . I will never judge pictures online again. "Oh, I can do better than that..." No sir-ee--I have eaten a little humble pie. The only good part is that six year olds don't care. David thought it was the best party ever--so it was all worth it.
If you want to feel old then add up your kids' birthdays. For me, 3+7+6 = 16. That's a lot of birthdays. When my kids were born I started the tradition of writing them a letter for each birthday. I just figured out that I have writted 16 letters--- I think this year I am passing the torch to Clint. I'll have to let him know.


In other news....our kids have been begging for us to throw pies in their faces (?) Hmmm...I know, we thought it was strange too. Finally we gave in a few weeks ago and did a banana cream pie throw. The kids' enthusiasm for the activity dwindled with their age---as you can see in the pictures. Annie wanted the full throw--the boys were fine with just a little on their nose. They asked for it....
