We threw Noah a 7-1/2 year old birthday party last night. He really turned 7 in March, but that's no season for a kids party. Our house isn't big enough for 10 noisy 7 years olds to tear around in. So I made the decision to have the party at a local park. We reserved the pavillion and waited. The wait was due to all the other dates taken. What I wanted to take place in early May took til late July. Knowing a date was set, Noah bugged and bugged, and eventually forgot about his party. And then it happened. Kids everywhere - 12 showed. Running, scootering, giggling, chasing. It was much fun. They only stopped long enough to down hot dogs and then cake. I did get them to play two games: eggs on spoons and cotton ball transfer, a favorite. The cotton ball game brought much laughter, as it always does.
Today, Noah and I assembled some of his goodies: a race track, a radio-controlled car, and solar system mobile from Cousin Elizabeth. Noah and I especially enjoyed painting the glow-in-the-dark paint on the planets. Now we just have to hang it.
