The Birthday Party..nothing sudtle about turning 4!

When we first asked Callum what kind of birthday party he wanted he said, "I want it at our HOUSE and Mama! We have to invite everyone in my class because otherwise kids feel bad!" Now, I really appreciate that he is so thoughtful of his classmates but his class has 32 kids in it! So, we hyped up the local YMCA as much as possible and got him excited about a Y party. Phew!
In the end, there were around 20 kids and assorted siblings in a big room tumbling, jumping, limboing, dancing, and eating. There was plenty of room and, best of all, the staff do the clean up! What more could we ask for?
The kids had a great time and Callum felt like a star. The minute his friends walked in the door for the party he said "I'm 4!". Now, never mind that he has been four for a week now and we have explained it many times...he announced that he 'feels 4' now but he still felt 'three and three-quarters' last week.
Everyone needs a kazoo with their pizza, right?


These kids look a little mellow...they need some sugar. Bring on the cupcakes!

Here is a good tip: you have to bend really low for the game of limbo...even when the limbo stick is still up pretty high! Eventually, you might want to just grab the feet of the person in front of you and let them slide you under. Hey! It works!

Jude was a good sport and wasn't afraid at all to get in on the action. Go little brother!

Cal also felt extra lucky to have his Grandma and Grandad here to celebrate the madness with him! Thanks Grandma and Grandad!
