praise: we received our wood chips (for free) on thursday!
prayer: we need to finish cleaning up the backyard, and laying the woodchips down, by friday!
playfulness: landon turned 5 on thursday. we made it a BIG ordeal. when he woke up (or more correctly-woke us up), he opened some presents. one of the presents was a 3 foot plush superman. then, he took brownies to church on thursday evening.
friday, was his friend b-day party. we started off with a balloon light saber fight in the front yard. dave put landon's darth vader head on-the kids loved it.
then, the boys played "find the jedi" (each had to find 2 beanbags with their name on them).
they then went downstairs to decorate their gift-bags. after that we played "yoda's helper". they had to knock down darth vader and 5 stormtroopers (on pop cans) with the beanbags. at that point, the pizza arrived.
we then played a version of pin the tail on the donkey (using darth vader). next was cake and ice cream.
then gifts and playtime.
we have one more birthday party to go this month. this coming saturday is auburn's big day, and the family party for all three kids. should be lots of fun!
