I can't believe my baby boy is already 4!!!! I remember the night he was born, I sat in my hospital bed gazing at him and crying-because at that moment I was thinking about him turning 18 and leaving home!!! I know it's silly. But boy, does time fly in a blink of an eye. Clifford wanted a construction themed birthday part-and that's what he got. I decorated the living/dining rooms with construction/road signs (made by me), streamers, balloons, and "caution" yellow tape. I made the pinata-shaped into a cone. And for the cake, I made it into an excavator. Clifford was so excited the night before the party as I was decorating the house. On the day of the party, just about all of his friends from church and preschool came. There was about 9 little kids running around the house. We played "pin the wheel on the dump truck" (which i made as well), got awesome goodie bags and had a blast with the pinata (it was a "pull string" one instead of hitting it). It was really cute-while the kids were sitting around eating their candy, Kristjan was ever so quietly going around the room and picking up all the candy that hadn't been picked up. The other kids were oblivious to this, and Kristjan ended up with a huge pile of candy. The cake was a hit-I even found tool candles. Opening presents was fun. Once Clifford had one open, he said "thanks" and on he moved to the next one. Clifford loved his new spider man toy from his buddy Chase; the toy car that he "built" from Isla; and of course, the two LEGO sets he received from Mama and Papa and from me and Pete. It was a great party and we all had tons of fun. Now I'm off planning Kristjan's party for next month. PHEW!!!
