Six.
Big time excitement around here yesterday and today. Simon is six.
Yesterday we had a party with five other little kids and a bunch of adults and family. Kids were running and playing and eating and unwrapping. Simon loved it.
Here's the calm before the storm:
This year Simon went with a mixed theme. Elmo hats, Scoobie Doo banner + goodie bags, Dora cake plates, Shrek pizza plates, Cars cups, My Little Pony napkins, and a Happy Feet tablecloth. All favorites at one time or another over the past few years.
His newest passion right now is Star Wars. We got the original Star Wars movie at Christmas and since then we have watched it many times. Light sabers were requested as a birthday present. If he wouldn't have fallen asleep on the couch last night from sheer exhaustion I think he would have slept with those new light sabers. Those were definitely a hit.
No school today in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. so we are hanging out, playing with toys, and working in between.
I posted about my birthday memory keeping (that I mentioned in my first comment)on my blog just now (you inspired me), if you are interested in checking it out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, SIMON
Looks as though you had a great party with great gifts.
My son loved Star Wars too when he was little. He saw it when it FIRST came out. He's going to be 35 years old in March. Still likes all that stuff.Now I get to relive things like that with my grandkiddo's. So much fun....

Happy Big Sixth Birthday, Simon! Have fun playing with your new "Light Savers", as my son called them for a while. I'm glad you had a fun party with your friends yesterday!
Ali, I loved your "art" around town photos. I already puchased the "r" for my word, but it is too big to carry around with me in case of seeing great texture or a place for a cool shot. I'm going to make/find a small set of diff. letters that fit into a mini tin lunchbox that I already have. Thank you for the inspiration, as always!....Erin : )

Happy Birthday Simon! Its funny how things come around. My husband and I grew up loving Star Wars and now our two children Billy, age 4, and Emma, age 2, love it as well. They are obsessed. They got the light sabers from Santa. I believe we watch s star wars movie every night. Billy even collects the figurines. Too cute.
Hope Simon had a terrific day!

Happy Birthday Simon!
I love the mixed theme idea. My son just turned 3 in Nov. and when I asked him what kind of party he wanted he said, " A puzzle party." It took a little more thought to put together, but I had so much fun planning that party (the cake, the invites, the decorations, etc.).

My goodness your little boy is so adorable! Happy Birthday Simon!
I love the mixed theme. I'll need to keep that in mind when I can't decide what to choose from my son's favorites...

Happy Birthday, Simon! Both my daughter (almost 6!) and son (3.5) are obsessed with Star Wars. I asked my daughter if she wanted to see Disney Princesses on Ice for her birthday, and she said she wants to see a Star Wars show, instead. Still working on that one. Warning, lightsabers seem to multiply; we now own six!
