Birthday Fun

The day before Halloween, E and I were in Hobby Lobby grabbing some last minute costume supplies.  While we were walking through the store, I said, "Look at all the Christmas stuff.  We have to get through Halloween first."  She then replied, "Yeah, first it's Halloween.  Then it's the P!nk concert, and then it's Christmas." 
 
Oh, she knows alright.
 
Before all of those holidays ensue, I better play catch up on some of our recent celebrations.
 
E turned five!
And we all know that it's all fun and games to be five.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 When we heard Grandma and Grandpa were dressing as the Monopoly guy,
 
we countered as Hungry, Hungry Hippos.
This was totally a last minute idea.  Obviously.
It wouldn't be an S family birthday party if Steve wasn't spray painting by flashlight the night before.
 
 
 
 
 Candyland...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Steve crafted a large Operation game.  It even buzzes and lights up at the center of the bow tie if you don't have a steady hand.  There's a "best dad ever" award coming his way!
 
 
 
 The birthday girl was able to successfully grab all ten pieces of candy.  Exciting!
 
 
Minute To Win It...








 
Five!

I think I have commented this before, but what I wouldn't do for 1/10th of your talent! I think the best images were of your awesome family and how the kids are growing up with their cousins, made me a bit sad, to be honest, as my boys will never experience it.
