Frozen fifth birthday

This party for miss Libby turned out great. We had such a fun time planning it together and working on all the food and activities. She was so thrilled with each little detail.




We made this piñata together, and it worked out right so that each kid got a few turns and Libby took the final whack!

Walk/lost in the woods

I wanted to take pictures of the kids this morning in the woods behind our home. There was a particular spot I had in mind, a sunny meadow on the opposite side of the stream from our house. We crossed the stream and then took the pictures, and I guess we wandered more than I realized because when we headed back to the stream, I couldn't find the place we crossed or the trail back. Now of course we weren't really lost because I knew the direction of the house the whole time, but we still had to scramble up a steep embankment with baby tommy and navigate thru brush and thorns till we spotted the trail. As we laughed and retold the story to ourselves afterward the stream became a lake, and it's bank a mountain.
