Birthday Boy!

Sunshine was invited to a fun birthday party last week.  And by "fun" I mean the snake-holding and reptile-petting kind. Yeeesh!





Last Monday I was invited to record on the EFY 2010 CD (a small choir version of "Let us all press on") and it went a bit longer than expected.  Poor baby Sunrise was getting mad and hungry at home, so Thunder let him try his first real food!  I was happy he remembered to take a picture.  I just can't take all this growing up!


 And speaking of growing up, Sunrise is our big 5 year old!  Since Thunder was going to be in China for his actual birthday, we had a party for him the Saturday before.  I found the coolest CD player for him- it's a giant Lego block.


















The theme this year's party was... tiki???  No, it was actually Transformers.  Can't you see it now?  The Decepticon eying you menacingly and the Autobot proudly beaming at you?  Can't you see it??


 We had marvelous weather and found a good deal for this giant blow-up bouncy thingie.




 I had so much trouble lighting those darn candles!






Then at the end the kids had to fan out and search for the All-Spark.... you know, the magical life-giving box.  Ours had the treat bags in it.  I still can't believe my cute baby boy is now 5 years old!

Happy Birthday Sunshine! I cannot believe he is 5! What is happening to our babies?! :) I thought the cakes turned out great. Well done. That is so cool that you were able to record on an EFY CD. I might have to go buy it now. :) (Well, once it comes out next year).
