4th Birthday-oh boy!

Today was Arlo's fourth birthday, and it started with a very excited boy waking around 5:52 am, right about the time he was born four years back.  He had been excited going to sleep the night before, so it was no wonder that he woke ready for action.
He was watching the clock all morning, giving updates like " it's 9:43...now it's 9:44...now it's 9:47", so obviously he was pumped up with the idea that his friends were coming over for a party.  The party went off well.  Some indoor snacks and crafts, outdoor games, and then lunch, follows by cake.
It was the longest two and a half hours ever, and yet it was so busy that it flew by in a way.
Arlo n Otis are just holding on by a thread after our family dinner.  Hopefully this means an easy bedtime...
Arlo is thrilled about the visit by all of his close friends, and the gifts, and the cake (Spider man cake thanks to Jenny's culinairy skills), and has been pounding on his hungry hungry hippos game for ages.
Great day for us all!












Tired and happy, at the end of the day...Arlo is all droopy eyes n smiles, whole Otis melts into Mamma's arms

Play hard -fall hard

Arlo took a tumble yesterday.  He was pushing an off reader car at his friends house when it hit a rock.  Car stopped, he kept going...until he landed! On his face as you can see.

Jedi apprentices



Our backyard became a Jedi training academy today after daddy manufactured some lightsabers out of pool noodles.
