Celebrating Simon.
Tags:We are all wiped out tonight after a really fun, loud, and chocolate-filled birthday celebration. My feet are definitely tired.
Yep, cake (above) and cupcakes.
Birthdays are cool.
And I love this one:
Today after school Simon and I will embark on putting together a Star Wars lego ship. Wish me luck. He was bummed that it was not happening after the party so we had a little chat about having something to look forward to on the day after your birthday.
He also says thank you to all of you who left well-wishes for him yesterday. That was really special and cool.
Seven is going to be a good year.
And speaking of things that are good & fun, a tour of Simon's updated bedroom was featured on Ohdeedoh yesterday (click this link for information about stuff in the room). In all reality the nesting has been going on around here for the last few months.
The planet mobile is an old one from Pottery Barn Kids. I found this one on ebay a few years back.

Happy Birthday Simon. You are a few months older than my oldest daugther Gabriella. She'll be 7 on the 1st day of Summer. Looks like his party was fun.
Good luck with the Lego SW ship. Is it the Falcon? My son's room is mostly Galaxy. A mix of SW and Buzz Lightyear...thus the Galaxy theme.

Nice room. I love the planet mobile. The Star Wars ship is not bad to do. However, my son just got the Death Star and it has 4 boxes with lots of bags with pieces. I do think whoever design it had way too much time on their hands. It is a nightmare.

re: legos
My son hoards the lego catalogs -- I highly recommend them for car travel. He still has one from Holiday 2006 (just a wee bit ragged). He discovered all on his own, no mom-prompting, that anticipating having a new lego star wars ship was almost as good as actually having it.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Simon! Looks like you all had a fabulous celebration! I was noticing your cupcake toppers: Diego! Was wondering where you found those. I am planning a birthday adventure in the next few weeks too!

I love his room and I love the tall candles. I'm going to have to search some out for my boys' birthdays next week.

So glad Simon had a great birthday... I saw the slideshow of Simon's room. I had a question about the two shelves with the cars. Can you tell me where you purchased those. My son has an extensive car collection and that would be a great display for them. THanks...

Your photos are WONDERFUL. I especially love Simon hiding behind his 7 little fingers. : ) Too precious!
P.S. Good luck with the Lego festivities this afternoon. : )

Happy belated birthday to your little Simon. We got the star wars lego ship for Christmas from Santa (well, technically our five year old got it! Ha!) and it was great fun putting together.
