CAM-O Party

Saturday we had Cameron's 5th birthday party. Here's the invitation that my sister made.

Here's Sara with her camo gear!

Singing happy birthday!
It was my mom's actual birthday so we sang to her too!

Levi about to enjoy his "camo" cupcake

I remembered after we already sang and the kids had gotten the cupcakes that I hadn't taken a picture of the tank cake...Sara did a great job decorating it!

Cameron with one of his new guns

Cameron hitting the tank pinata

Because the tank was so full of candy, the loop to hang it up broke....I just let some of the little ones use the pull strings...here Craig is shaking out the candy collecting candy
Later on...some started a football game

Touchdown! Great catch Isaac!

I thought this one turned out cool!

Look at PawPaw go

He told them to raise their hand if they were open

Levi & Miriam playing with the party favors

I didn't do so well with the pictures...I couldn't get my setting right and I forgot to take pictures of a lot of things. We stay up so late the night before the party getting ready that I'm usually worn out before the party starts and I just want to sit and visit. I hope some of my other "shooters" got some better ones.

First Day of School

Last Monday, I let the kids stickerate decorate their school folders with stickers.

Luke helped Levi with the stickers




Today we started our 1st day of school...it went well overall. I had a couple of different activities for Miriam & Levi to do...so there were a couple of times when I had to referee the two of them.

Miriam was asking Luke what letter was the cookie cutter
