Six.
Tags:
Big time excitement around here yesterday and today. Simon is six.
Yesterday we had a party with five other little kids and a bunch of adults and family. Kids were running and playing and eating and unwrapping. Simon loved it.
Here's the calm before the storm:
This year Simon went with a mixed theme. Elmo hats, Scoobie Doo banner + goodie bags, Dora cake plates, Shrek pizza plates, Cars cups, My Little Pony napkins, and a Happy Feet tablecloth. All favorites at one time or another over the past few years.
His newest passion right now is Star Wars. We got the original Star Wars movie at Christmas and since then we have watched it many times. Light sabers were requested as a birthday present. If he wouldn't have fallen asleep on the couch last night from sheer exhaustion I think he would have slept with those new light sabers. Those were definitely a hit.
No school today in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. so we are hanging out, playing with toys, and working in between.

Happy Birthday Simon!
I love the mixed theme idea. My son just turned 3 in Nov. and when I asked him what kind of party he wanted he said, " A puzzle party." It took a little more thought to put together, but I had so much fun planning that party (the cake, the invites, the decorations, etc.).

I love the mixed theme. I'll need to keep that in mind when I can't decide what to choose from my son's favorites...

Happy Birthday, Simon! Both my daughter (almost 6!) and son (3.5) are obsessed with Star Wars. I asked my daughter if she wanted to see Disney Princesses on Ice for her birthday, and she said she wants to see a Star Wars show, instead. Still working on that one. Warning, lightsabers seem to multiply; we now own six!

Holy crap you get a on of comments LOL. Besides that, you're a fun mom to think of that. I love all the crazy themes! After all, kids only stick with things they love for about 5 months and then move on. well, at least my son does that.

Happy Birthday, Simon! I love the eclectic party theme. (I also love that My Little Pony was included in there, because it makes my husband a bit uncomfortable that Camden likes that & some other "girly" characters). @@ lol

Hi Ali! Met you at Scrapbook Attack Saturday. Such a pleasure! You are such an inspiration by the sheer fact that you are a "regular" person like all of us. I feel motivated to make a Proof of Me book after talking to you and hearing that it's one of your favorites. Thanks for signing my book! BTW, Happy Birthday Simon---it's so fun watching you grow up! Love the multiple themes! Also, if you have a minute to look, I'm the featured customer on Scrapbook Attack's website!
