Elijah's 5th Birthday

Elijah celebrated his 5th birthday on June 12. A few days later we had a birthday for him with some friends from school. It was Star Wars themed:) .

We played Pin-the-X-wing-on-the-Death-Star's-Thermal-Exhaust-Port, had a Pod Relay Race, a Jedi obstacle course and had some practice with a Lightsaber Training Remote (AKA pinata).

We even had a surprise appearance of an X-wing pilot.

We ate Wookie Cookies (no-bake cookies), pizza and fruit kabobs and had Yoda Soda (Sprite with lime sherbet) to drink.

It was fun!
No matter how unenthusiastic Elijah looks.

Zucchini

Because you've always wanted a zucchini big enough to cradle in your arms.

Little Readers

These are pictures that bring happiness to my heart.
Seeing my children love reading like I do is a wonderful thing.

If Aeris sees an adult sitting down, she runs to grab a book. She toddles over, book in hand, turns around and backs up into the (hopefully) available lap, and she's ready for her stories. And don't even think of leaving without reading at least 4 books; you wouldn't want to make her cry, would you?

Ethan likes to twirl his hair while he reads. This leads to some funny poke-ups in his hairdo.
We LOVE books!
