Partied Out.

I had a little friends' party for Hayden today. Just the neighbor boys and a few other friends from church and preschool. WHEW. Of course, we did a pirate theme with a treasure hunt, sidewalk/driveway painting, duck pond, and cupcake decorating. The kids had lots of fun with the pirate theme and I AM TUCKERED OUT! Here are some highlight photos:




So, the four-year-old birthday celebration is officially over....and now I have 2 weeks until we start all over again with my daughter's birthday. I keep telling my husband that if we have another child, we need to shoot for a winter birthday, because summer around here is already birthday-ed out. In a matter of 5 weeks, we have Hayden's, mine, Kennedy's, my mom's, as well as a couple of our cousins. I love birthdays and love throwing parties, but I just wish they were more spread out sometimes.

Tonight will be all about cleaning up and packing, as we are leaving for Chicago tomorrow morning. Just a few days away with the kids, doing the zoo and some shopping and checking out a few scrapbook stores in the Windy City. While CHA is going on downtown Chicago, we will not be attending. After the emotion of the last week, we are ready for a little get-away.
